Most people, I feel, can agree that the lockdowns aren't as bad as feeling they only apply to some of us. The some of us who aren't celebrities or media personalities. Then there are elected officials who like to mandate regulations they don't follow themselves. Welcome to Erie County, New York, home of many a splintered table after the Buffalo Bills clinched their division. County Executive Mark Poloncarz shut down hockey rinks for the general public. You know, because of everyone's favorite virus and all that. Here's the thing, the rinks apparently are NOT shut down for the county executive and/or his friends. At least, this is according to a whistleblower to the comptroller's office.

Poloncarz is a Democrat and Stefan Mychajliw is a Republican. I'll let the reader decide how much politics if any you feel going on here. The county executive has also denied the accusations, kinda. Though this isn't the first time Poloncarz has been accused of "regulations for thee but not for me." Also, his excuse (?) appears to lead to more questions. As well as more whistleblower leakage.

Mark Poloncarz is hardly the first Democrat accused of ignoring regulations he mandates on everyone else. He's not even the first Democrat allegedly caught on tape. But you hear a lot in the media about "COVID fatigue." It's usually paired with guilting common folk for wanting their lives back. This is just one blogger's opinion. Maybe have fewer criticisms of people struggling to abide by rules. More criticism of the elected officials who feel the rules they demand for everyone else don't apply to them. Just a thought. Wear a mask and socially distance.

2020 has sucked for many reasons. You've seen all the memes about it. One highlight has been America's introduction to Kristi Noem, South Dakota's pro-freedom, pro-gun smokeshow of a governor. Other governors shut down their states for a variety of virus-related reasons. Some might say unnecessarily. Noem didn't. She found herself with a national platform as the media said, "Hey, this one isn't following along with the script." Also, her brother doesn't work for CNN.

Noem addressed some of her haters at SAS 2020.

Yet again, here is another American standing up. In the video below, a fed up restaurant owner blocked the car of a health department minion and explained to the several officers who responded to him why he had to do what he did.

This video is from Rumble, by the way. A hopeful alternative to YouTube.

Yet again, below is a perfect example of what should happen in America. If I'm being obnoxious about it, it should've happened 16 days into 15 days to flatten the curve. Ah hell. It should've happened on day one. Oh well, here we are, and Americans are finally speaking out. I guess I underestimated the patience of the American people having their rights, income, and lives completely upended by their government. In the video below, a fed up restaurant owner blocked the car of a health department minion and explained to the several officers who responded to him why he had to do what he did.

This video is from Rumble, by the way. A hopeful alternative to YouTube.

I'm a simple man who doesn't ask for much. Make sure my beer is cold. Leave me alone when I watch wrestling on Wednesday nights. And please, for the love all that is holy, have Congresswoman AOC primary Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. That would be the greatest thing to happen to any of us on the right side of the blogosphere. Even better than all the Amy Coney Barrett meltdowns. I know Rep. AOC was so sad with the election results last month that she almost quit. Challenging Chuckles would be a much better use of her time.

I'm guessing there are rumblings that she might consider it. Because the establishment is out in full force to shut it down. Here's NY Democrat chairman Jay Jacobs crushing the hopes and dreams of a young girl from the Boogie Down.

I think it would be a primary driven by ambition more than by need.

How dare a cis white male like Jay Jacobs claim a womyn is being too ambitious! Complete and unbridled sarcasm. Also, that didn't stop AOC from primarying Joe Crowley.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would "absolutely" lose a challenge if she went head-to-head against the veteran Democratic lawmaker, said Jacobs — who noted he's yet to meet the Queens rep.

"We've never met. I would look forward to doing that," he said. "I am open to that at any time."

Dude, you live on Long Island. She lives in either Queens or the Bronx. At least in theory. How hard is it to meet in the city with your party's national leader for a cappuccino or something?

What I find funniest about this, other than the idea that AOC would ever step foot in upstate New York, is how much the two political parties are exactly the same. The Democrat establishment is every bit as clueless as the Republican establishment. If you don't want a rabble-rouser to challenge the establishment, the absolute WORST thing to do is tell them not to challenge the establishment. Waityourturnism (I just made that word up) is why the parties have rabble-rousers rousing rabble in the first place.

Maybe AOC never actually had plans to challenge Schumer. But now, she almost has to. Just because f*** the establishment who say otherwise. Also, the way miserable failure Schumer threw away a $1.8 trilllion aid package for a $900 billion aid package. If I were a Democrat socialist, I would be pissed about that.

But I'm not. So I'm just going to start popping all the popcorn.

After several days of giving as few craps as possible to the news, I stumbled over on Twitter where a number of people had retweeted a video of a maskless woman taking a stand against COVID restrictions. It looks like she's in a Target or some facsimile thereof. and was confronted for being without mask and how dare she put countless lives at risk. But my gal pal here didn't back down. Take a look.

Facebook will say this woman is spreading misinformation. Since you're reading this from Facebook, let me declare two things: one, I wrote this article twice, one for Facebook and one not for Facebook. Read between the lines there. And two, if you insist on allowing Facebook to curate what you see and what you don't, then I'll need to set some things out for the independent third party fact checkers:

• This article isn't taking a side for or against the woman confronted above. I'm simply showing her to you. Do what you will with the information.
• What the lady says above may not be what the CDC has said about coronavirus and how to best combat it. My guess is Facebook will slap a "for more information about COVID" link on the bottom of the Facebook post about it.
• And seriously, why are you still letting Facebook do this to us? Sign up for our newsletter already.

Ask yourself the following questions, then do a little research to get your own answers:

• How many people in America die every day? Just die.
• How many Americans died of the seasonal flu in 2019, 2018, and 2017?
• Why didn't you know the answers to the two questions above until I asked?
• Why was a shutdown never proposed for AIDS? Swine flu?
• How is what we're seeing right now not a case of divide and conquer?

You can be the author of your own life. This lady has taken the lead in how to write her own story.

Maskless Woman Confronted by Mask Supporters Declares She's DONE with COVID Restrictions - Facebook Safe

After several days of giving as few craps as possible to the news, I stumbled over on Twitter where a number of people had retweeted a video of a maskless woman taking a stand against COVID restrictions. It looks like she's in a Target or some facsimile thereof. and was confronted for being without mask and how dare she put countless lives at risk. But my gal pal here didn't back down. Take a look.

She's absolutely right about everything. Facebook would say that's misinformation but Facebook can go suck on a dead tree.

Healthy people shouldn't be treated like carriers of the plague. Also, COVID-19 isn't the plague. I've called it a cough since at least March and I stand by my statement. If you're whining about COVID-19 killing people, go look up how many people die from seasonal flu every year then kindly shut your pie hole.

What's happening in America has less to do with a disease and more to do with control. What we're seeing now is divide and conquer, and never in my lifetime have people made this division so simple. The sane and the insane are freely branding themselves. For me, the "sane" are people like the lady above. Who I've just annexed into my fantasy tribe, by the way. The insane are those who happily wear a mask thinking they're actually doing something other than possibly putting themselves at greater risk for more health problems due to inhaling too much of their own exhaled air. They then go around shaming people and calling Five-Oh on anyone who isn't drowning themselves in the same Kool-aid.

If you're out there wondering "but what can I do" then may I suggest you follow this lady's lead. Stop asking the government to end the lockdowns. People can end the lockdowns by no longer complying with the lockdowns. Power in numbers, people. Be brave, stand up for your rights and way of life. Stop following these draconian measures.

It's times like these when Ted Cruz might wish he had gone to Yale instead. Though, maybe not. They don't make the Ivy League quite like they used to. At Harvard, one department held a panel on something called "Maternal Justice." That's a thing the left likes to do nowadays. They take a word and put "justice" after it to try to create a new thing, usually so they have an excuse to claim anyone who thinks they're silly is racist. The tweet announcing this panel is an impressive collection of virtual-signaling woke buzzwords.

Wait ... "birthing people?" Do you mean women? It sounds like they are talking about women. Women are the ones who experience pregnancy and childbirth. Or at least they used to be. There is a "debate" in this country as to who can have babies. One side thinks men can have babies if it's actually a woman who identifies as a man. As a result, they create new and exciting ways to redefine women in non-gender-exclusive ways. The other side finds that insulting to actual women, including feminists like J.K. Rowling. Also, feminists like Ted Cruz, who used the left's favorite catchphrase against them.

To be fair, whoever runs the Twitter account in question didn't mean to "erase or dehumanize women" with language many women might feel erases and dehumanizes them.

Being woke looks exhausting. Though it is enjoyable to mock.

But yes, liberals are the party of "science." Worship at the altar of "science." Believe in "science," unlike conservative Neanderthals like Ted Cruz. It is this scientific zealotry that guides leftists into believing organisms who give birth to other organisms should no longer be called women. Because it might offend men who can't give birth. Or, women who no longer want to be called women. Thank God the people who believe this much in science are the ones working on our pandemic response.

I hope most of you had a merry little Christmas. Hopefully saying nuts to the government and celebrating with eleven people or more in the same dwelling. As you were preparing for Santa Claus, there is a good chance you missed this story, where Dr. Anthony Fauci admits he's been lying to people until he felt we were ready for the truth: a decision that is guided not by science, but by public opinion polls.

Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks ... he had hesitated to publicly raise his estimate because many Americans seemed hesitant about vaccines. Now that some polls are showing that many more Americans are ready, even eager, for vaccines, he said he felt he could deliver the tough message that the return to normal might take longer than anticipated.

So, it's not just the media moving the goalposts. CNN challenged the sciencey expert on why he wasn't straight with the American people from the beginning. Turns out he didn't lie ... he was only guessing. Because science!

The good news is Fauci agrees with our president-elect's uplifting message that our darkest days are still ahead of us.

Here's the funny thing about liars when you find out they're liars. The next question tends to be, "What else have you been lying to me about?" We've already been getting nothing but conflicting messages for the last nine months. Starting two weeks before those nine months when we were told "fifteen days to flatten the curve." Outdoor restaurants are bad while indoor retail chains are good. Don't wear a mask, but actually wearing a mask is your patriotic duty. It's safe for kids to go to school unless the teachers' unions say keep the school closed. You can't go to work or making a living because "we're all in this together." That's according to people who haven't missed a paycheck because we're not all in this together.

Just hold out for a vaccine. Now that we have a vaccine, keeping holding out. Just because ... reasons!

This is all why people need to get back to living their lives. Take the reasonable precautions that YOU feel you need to take. Let everyone else make the decisions that are right for them. Because it's increasingly clear the people who have been making decisions for us aren't being straight with us. Nor do many of them have our best interests in mind.

Friends, we've almost reached the end. 2020 is almost behind us. The holidays are here! Time to celebrate as much with family and loved ones as our government allows. Gather around the Zoom screen to say hi to MeMaw, who has been locked in a nursing home for her own good. Use the lockdown instructions to avoid spending time with the one cousin no one likes. Tell the children that Santa Claus is coming to tell them to stay six feet away from each other. As my personal life coach JP Sears says, it really is beginning to look a lot like a communist Christmas! AOC bless us, everyone!
