I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony

That’s why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It’s got a backbeat, you can’t lose it
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

Chuck Berry

Can and will businesses like Home Depot still require them?

Watch your local ruling/requirements re what is open and still closed, starting tomorrow.

Big positive changes are apparently coming for many counties.

Gruesome Newsome has got a lot of former liberals asking for his scalp besides “us dumb deplorables!”.

The Governor of Texas instituted the mask mandate in Texas last July. All businesses required patrons wear masks while inside their premises.

Of course, the founding fathers would have never signed off on this. I never implied they would.

When was I complaining about the tyrants in NY and California? You seem to be all over the map here.

Thank you, Governor. It doesn’t erase the fact that you committed this folly in the first place, but I certainly applaud you for being one of the first to correct it.

I want to see the actual order, though, to make sure it prevents counties and cities from implementing their own lockdowns and mask mandates. Lina Hidalgo will do everything she can to hold on to her power grab in Harris County.

Lots of folks were taken in by Fauci the Fascist’s lies early on. At least Abbott didn’t double down.

Fauci is soooooo hoping the cases go up.

And they can make that happen by more testing....just like President Trump said.

I rebel. You probably saw me walking down Melrose without a mask on wearing Ray Bans. Just this morning I saw a jogger jogging real hard wearing a mask. I thought of how stupid and retarded that was breathing thru that sh*t..

Greg, this mask mandate/non-essential business closing stuff was stupid from day one.

You are solely responsible for the PUC/ERCOT issues with your hand-picked PUC board and the PUC being under your thumb.

Hope you lose your primary, idiot.
