Americans Getting Restless Under the Government COVID Boot
PJ Media ^ | 23 April 20 | Stephen Kruiser

Posted on 04/23/2020 6:21:58 AM PDT by Bruiser 10

It is that time again, dear Morning Briefing readers, for me to express my dismay about some of the more heavy-handed government responses to our current coronavirus crisis. I will forego the disclaimers this time. Whiners are going to whine and we have important freedom-loving things to discuss on this fine Thursday morning.

There has been more talk this week about eventually reopening businesses and relaxing some stay-at-home orders but that doesn’t seem to be resonating with many people who are just tired of this, already. They want things to happen now.

Restlessness abounds in the Quarantine States of America, and new signs of it are popping up every day. As I’ve been perusing social media and the news the past few days I have noticed that the restlessness is making all of the right people mad, which is one of my go-to barometers for picking a side.

Victoria wrote earlier in the week that some of California seems to be reopening without Gov. Gavin Newsom’s permission. I knew things were looking up when, after the California nanny state spent taxpayer dollars to fill public skate parks with sand to keep kids out, the kids began riding dirt bikes in them.

Those kids have futures. I pray that they run for office one day.

It’s not just individuals in the Golden State who are resisting, some counties are getting in on the act now too:

The CNBC Stock Market show this morning blamed unrest on Trump voters. Maybe they are the ones who have businesses.

Dr Fauci and Dr Birx should forego their pay and go on unemployment until America is back at work. They have the wrong incentive.

I suspect that Fauci is on the take from Big Pharma. He needs to be looked at closely.

Given the infection and death statistics I have seen, there is no reason on earth for HEALTHY people under 60 should be at home unemployed.

That would make sense, since most Trump voters have or did have jobs. The other side? Most are parasites.

There is a link to video on another thread of a protest at the Connecticut State Capitol yesterday.

That’s right. Deep blue Connecticut.

They were waiving Fire Fauci signs.

The signs indicate their ignorance

Restless? That is putting it mildly. All of these State protests are more than restless. Resistance is here.

Mark my words. When this is over Dr. Fauci is going to be on lifetime quarantine within the beltway.

He won’t be able to take a step out in public anyplace else in this country without being set-upon by people whose lives he’s ruined.

All it takes is for misguided statistics to bring all the little tyrants out of the closet.

You want to talk about "unprecedented"? Let's talk about the "unprecedented" level of gall that politicians have reached foisting this fraud on us. Let's talk about their "unprecedented" level of lies and deceit to keep it going. Let's talk about the "unprecedented" mountain of deceptive, incomplete statistics designed to obscure the truth from the people. And last, but far, far from least, let's talk about the "unprecedented" whole mountain range of BS, biased lies incessantly spewing from the mainstream media in their attempt to wreck the economy and Trump. I have never been this angry in my whole life!!!!!!!

The commie leftists of this country have successfully emasculated men further by withholding the dignity of work and ability to support their families. This is their goal. Men, rise up. Your authority is given to you by God. It is a sin to deny that.

"Resist we much" is already taken by the Left, as is "the resistence"

How about "We do not consent"/ #consentwithdrawn as a rallying cry ...

I don't know why but I got so pissed off late yesterday afternoon I put on my jacket and stormed out of the house for a long walk and partial jogs...It helped a little bit.

Wait, there was a shut down and people were supposed to stay home? Really? Where? Because I sure haven’t seen it.

There have been tourists crawling all over my area. Local leaders were telling people on day one to break the stay home rule and go out to party. There’s been more work crews than ever in the neighborhood. Every grandparent around has bought their slew of visiting grandkids golf carts to run the streets. Nail salons and gambling joints open back up as soon as the cops leave. Parking lots are full. Nothing has slowed down.

Surprise, CV cases doubled from last week.

The police, God bless them all, will screw up and hit a freedom protester the head. The first bloody scalp money shot wins.

Like jujitsu, they’ll use that American energy against Americans, getting them to agree to contact-tracing and physical surveillance systems as conditions for being allowed out of their houses again.
