But Native American tribes, as sovereign nations, are not required to follow the state's stay-at-home order.


Because science has proven that the COVID 19 virus will not cross Native American sovereign boundaries. It's all about the science you know.

Irony is that the Covid spread NEVER decimated the enormous homeless population let alone the large swath of Southern California but Covid did ravage a few tribes in the Southwest.

Happened to drive by one of the big Indian casinos near Palm Springs a couple weeks ago, and the parking lot was absolutely packed. And I thought, “Man, good for them. They ain’t kowtowing to Gavin Newsom et al.”

One of most wrong-headed things in the world is the idea that American Indian-related sports team names are somehow racist. It’s the opposite. It’s never been about putting anyone down, but rather about aspiring to a certain American Indian ideal... brave, self-reliant and free.

“Now they’re (the Indians) are all going to die”


My granddaughter works in a hospital practically right next to a large Indian casino. Lot’s of Wuhan cases are caught/spread via casinos. Not saying they should close, but lots of their customers are in a prime demographic for catching it.

FWIW besides lots of smokers and seasoned citizens, one group that seemed to dominate the Indian casino I visited —at least the table games—were, who looked to me to be Chinese.

Sarcasm is the use of words usually used to either mock or annoy someone, or for humorous purposes. Sarcasm may employ ambivalence, although it is not necessarily ironic. Most noticeable in spoken word, sarcasm is mainly distinguished by the inflection with which it is spoken and is largely context-dependent.

The Wuhan virus does not affect American Indians and it knows better than to cross the reservation boundaries, so all the gamblers are protected.

In leftist America, the people who were conquered have more rights than the victors!

What’s the point in being open if everyone is required to stay home?

Exactly. I don't understand why the "woke" crowd is so clueless.

The Chinese ran the poor Indians out of Asia, and now they’re giving them the Chinese flu!

When will the Chinese finally have enough dead Indians?

Same with the Cherokee here in NC, announcing they will snub Cooper’s edict.
