California was placed under a new set of strict lockdowns earlier this month, courtesy of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Californians have since decided to look at Newsom as a role model and have largely ignored the latest order.
According to mobility trend data collected from cellphones by Google, California residents have returned to the level of outside-the-home activities seen in November, before Newsom’s latest lockdown order. After an initial dip, visits to grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, retail stores, and workplaces have rebounded to November levels.
**SNIP**
And then, of course, there is Newsom himself. In November, California residents watched as their governor mocked them, attending the indoor birthday dinner of a lobbyist friend and then smugly smiling as he “apologized” for clearly disregarding his own lockdown orders. It’s no surprise that Californians have since decided to treat Newsom’s latest order the way Newsom has treated them.
The inconsistent lockdown rules and Newsom’s view that they shouldn’t apply to him combined with the holiday season make the stance of Californians clear. Newsom’s order to prohibit “private gatherings of any size” was never going to play well before Christmas, but Newsom’s own behavior has given residents the green light to ignore the other restrictions he imposed.

“When will Americans stop peeing their collective panties and take back their freedom and country?”
We started watching a ‘John Adams’ documentary last night. HBO, 6 episodes, on DVD.
EVERY American should be ashamed of how we’re acting! The strife and toil, physical danger and rebellion Americans went through for our Republic in Her infancy is astounding - compared to the bunch of pampered, lazy SLACKERS we’ve become.
If anything, it strengthens my resolve. And how ANYONE that is an avowed Socialist Democrat can watch something like that and not change their mind to LOVE America, is a mystery to me.
They tarred and feathered the Harbormaster for not letting tea in from other countries, versus the swill from England they were expected to drink - and we’re getting to the part where families were ordered to house British soldiers IN THEIR HOMES, leading up to the war! Housing the ENEMY with you? 3rd Amendment, anyone?
Of course, so much of that is glossed over in History Class now - if History Class is even taught anymore! If it is, America is always the Bad Guy.
*SPIT*
Question: What about the Indian casinos? Here in the PRO (People’s Republic of Oregon), most of them have remained open due to sovereign nation status. We went Christmas Day and had a great dinner at Spirit Mountain Casino on Hwy 18. No buffet, but the menu was phenomenal.
Memphis just did a bar/restaurant partial slow down from 50 - 25, close by 10pm. More useless Masks.
Only places I wear 1 is Military Base, Mandated, and doctors office again mandated. Nor would I want to pick up whatever brought them to the doctor, I have every 6 month Specialist visits.
Question, does MS/AR who use Memphis hospitals get counted by both States? Awful high numbers, Memphis pop is 600,000 and dropping. TN surrounding counties don’t have much in the way of medical care. Tipton’s nearest to us is Baptist, DON’T TAKE SICK DOG TO TYPE, AS IS METHODIST NORTH, MEMPHIS CRIME/JUNKIES TO ADD TO BAD CARE.
I know, that is what i am talking about. We need skin in the game.
