California’s Christian-hating governor, Democrat Gavin Newsom, has now decreed that Christians will no longer be allowed to sing hymns of praise in church because OMG CORONAVIRUS!
Newsom has directed his goose-stepping Department of Public Health to silence churches under the department’s newest set of draconian coronavirus rules.
According to the CA DPH, churches are required to “discontinue singing and chanting activities,” the Sacramento Bee reported.
This is an update to previous language that only suggested that churches should “strongly consider discontinuing singing, group recitation, and other practices and performances.”

The SacBee continued:
Health agencies such as the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say shouting or singing can spread the coronavirus just as easily as coughing or sneezing.
California’s health department agrees, and as Gov. Gavin Newsom begins tightening protocols during a resurgence of the pandemic, it now says singing and chanting are outright banned.
“Activities such as singing and chanting negate the risk reduction achieved through six feet of physical distancing,” the state said in its new guidelines.
Newsom is also ordering churches to buy supplies of masks and hand them out to members as they enter the church.

Tucker Carlson recently said that if Conservatives had defaced street signs with Martin Luther King's name on them, or torn down statues of Malcomb X, the Obama Justice Dept would have conducted mass arrests and indicted every single person and their organization's leadership with violation of Federal Civil Rights laws.
It's long past time to arrest these criminal governors and bureaucrats who have declared open war on Christians, Conservatives, and the Constitution.
Send Federal agents to Sacramento and haul Newsom away in handcuffs. Let the media and the Democrats howl.
If no one defends us now, we have already lost the war.
Has he banned screaming in public?
Everyone in this country is bending over and asking for another one....
So if I understand this correctly,
Rioting , Mayhem , arson, and tearing down statues is okay.
Mass protests to protest alleged police brutality and other problems is okay.
But singing in church is a crime against humanity.
Is this a screwed-up world or what?
For some reason, screaming black lives matter is completely harmless
He’s doing Catholics a favor.
Eventually he will ban talking in public, as tiny droplets might be exhaled and float through the air.
Oh yeah, that happens during breathing too. So breathing will be forbidden at some point. Total insanity.
These DemoRats do not know what real rebellion is; I think they’re about to find out.
I can’t wait to hear what my pastor says about this. He is not in accord with all the fear mongering going on.
Fixed It.
Are they still broadcasting the mooslim call to prayer in that SoCal city? Are they prohibited from doing their chant?
You know, because of The First Amendment Freedom of Expression and whatnot.
I am totally serious when I say this: I would not be surprised if next week certain state governors mandated that Christians wear a cross and Jews wear the Star of David on their clothing, along with a mandate to get fingerprinted and photographed.
not totally true.
those who drink at his winery
which WILL REMAIN OPEN, can sing, fart, scream, screw,
and do anything THEY WANT ... at HIS winery.
cannot make this up.
Wonder if the kids teased him and called him Gavin Nuisance when he was in grade school?
All the churches need to do to bypass this is to say that they are protesting against Trump. Then they can sing their hymns all they want with no government interference.
An Orthodox Jewish Synagogue did exactly this to bypass Cuomo’s and DeBlasio’s rules in NYC.
THIS MUST STOP!!! EVIL IS LOOSE IN OUR COUNTRY!
Swell. I can just hear the Catholics humming high mass.
The Masked Mass will become a tradition, I’m sure.
Don’t be so pessimistic
all of this rioting; in statue tearing down - and assaults on the cops are very bad look for the Democrats ; and it’s benefiting us to have it be on going
I’ve seen multiple Memes in the Internet where these morons say “
hey don’t film us when we’re lookting “
we’re all getting arrested! which is what I said from the beginning
The feds have all these idiots on tape and of course in democrat localities will get arrested and then released but with federal charges they’ll go down
