South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem won't comply if Biden pursues national mask mandate
The Blaze ^ | November 13, 2020 | Chris Pandolfo

As former Vice President Joe Biden proposes a nationwide lockdown and a national mask mandate in response to resurgent coronavirus cases in several states, at least one Republican governor is promising she will not comply.

In a statement made to the Argus Leader, a South Dakota newspaper, Gov. Kristi Noem's office said that Biden, as president, would lack the authority to impose a nationwide mask mandate on state governments.

My God, she's hot, and will be defiant against Biden if he is miraculously installed as president.

Biden will drive the country into Socialism and Depression.
He is lost in space.

I can see it now. The blue states will form a confederacy to ban all travel from any state that doesn’t comply. The borders of the non-compliant states will be closed as will all mass travel.

When she spoke at the rally at Mount Rushmore, I figured she’s presidential material. The more I hear her, the more I believe that.

Assuming we are allowed to have elections in 2024 and I am not in a reeducation camp, she is definitely my frontrunner for Prez.

This quote from “Atlas Shrugged” says all you need to know about lockdowns and mask mandates...

Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.

She is absolutely EN FUEGO!!!!!!!!!!

First, duly elected female President if things go well.

Depending on who you read and believe, some historians say that the first shots were fired at Ft Sumter, SC, others say Vicksburg, Miss.

Whoever you believe, could Pierre become such a place? Be interesting to see how the people, and more precisely law enforcement in the state, back up their Governor. Wouldn’t take much for me to head up there and join.

Just got back from a pheasant hunt up there in Kimball, SD.
Man o man the locals sure do love Kristi .
Nice to not even think about a mask for a week.

I know where I’m moving, if worse comes to worst.

But it won’t come to that. Just wish the Eeyores here could be shut down. They wouldn’t be happy even if Pres. Trump’s pre-fraud numbers are proven to be correct. They’d find SOMETHING to wring their hands about.

It’s to damn bad this outstanding conservative woman will not get a chance to be the country’s first woman president. If this rigged election succeeds that honor will go to the socialist bitch BJ queen from hell.

The media have gaslighted this issue to death.

Masks are not effective.

“STORY AT-A-GLANCE

The science does not support universal mask wearing recommendations

A policy review paper published in Emerging Infectious Diseases in May 2020 — the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s journal — found no evidence to support universal mask wearing as a protective measure in non-health care settings

A recent meta-analysis and scientific review — which focused on randomized controlled studies rather than observational ones — found that, compared to no mask, mask wearing in the general population or among health care workers did not reduce influenza or influenza-like illness cases

One study found U.S. states with universal mask mandates saw a 2% reduction in growth rates of positive COVID-19 tests compared to states that did not mandate masks

Another investigation shows mask rules have had nothing to do with infection rates after all, as no matter how strict the mask rules and how high the compliance, cases have risen and fallen around the same time...”

Great! That’s how Balkanization or CW starts, which is our only way out of this.

Good for her! She is well aware of the undeniable fact that masks (and distancing, for that matter) have done little to nothing to "stop the spread" over the past eight long months as evidenced by the results.

Biden will just go around reluctant governors to appeal to local politicians like county and mayoral office holders. I fully expect my local mayor to adopt whatever Biden proposes even if our governor declines. He adopted a masking policy prior to the state policy.
