On Thursday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appeared on “Fox and Friends,” where he lambasted the leaders of other states [Democrats] for their “draconian” lockdown policies.
His state is doing great and he didn’t rob people of their rights to do it, but Democrats, like Phil Murphy of New Jersey, think the Bill of Rights is above their pay grade.
DeSantis said they are exercising “social control.”
They are, they’re social engineers.

At one point he said, “Well, I don’t think any governor has the authority to restrict anyone unless there’s a direct relationship to combating this virus, and if you look around the country, clearly there have been examples of really draconian, arbitrary restrictions that have nothing to do with public health – like you can’t plant a seed in your front yard and your garden, you can’t walk around the neighborhood with your daughter or something like that. So, some of this stuff, I think, has devolved into social control.”
It’s nice to have a few voices standing up for our rights. Too many are exposing themselves as despots who don’t want this situation to change. Governors who messed everything up are lauded as heroes. They did a lot wrong while trampling our rights, and they did it to further their ideology. Specifically, I’m thinking of Andrew Cuomo, Phil Murphy, and Gretchen Witmer, although there are others.
We have a 2020 Stalin
Where I live freely my lifestyle hasn’t been affected much. But if I existed in a Democrat controlled state or anywhere else, county or city, that restricted my rights I would have the name of a constitutional lawyer so when I went about my business as our Constitution gives us the right to do and if I was to be stopped by law enforcement and/or arrested for my lawful business under orders from a politician’s edict the call I would make would be to that lawyer and I would file a lawsuit against all involved in my arrest from the police officer who swore an oath to protect our Constitution all the way up to the person who made the edict.
Desantis is so two-faced. He allowed hotels, timeshares and resorts to open, yet denied lower-density short-term rentals from opening in Florida…. Everything is not as it seems.
The more I think about it we should not be using the death totals in determining any stay at home orders. Those orders are only applicable to the population that would leave the premises. The one segment of the population which are, essentially, in permanent stay-at-home are the nursing home / long-term care facilities. Therefore these deaths are inapplicable to the general population. All the efforts used in administering the general population could and should be directed to these facilities. In our state the death toll is highest for those in the vulnerable population, 56-59%. That leaves the total for the general population at 76. The state’s influenza / pneumonia death toll is 1396 for this season. Yet the governor has extended the shutdown beginning May 18, until it is rescinded. It is called Phase 1.5. One interesting item I read about is a local “drive-in” theater isn’t allowed to open. Here is the list segregated by nursing / long-term care figures.
