One of the things this pandemic has shown us is just how dictatorial some of our elected officials, mostly Dimocrats, can be. Governor half Whitmer of Michigan is a prime example of that. Another example is this week’s AOTW, Judge Lina Hidalgo of Harris County Texas. She has ruled that everyone over 10 years old has to wear a mask or be fined $1000.
“This is not a police state,” she said. “But we needed to make clear it’s not a recommendation, it’s something we have to do for sake of our safety, our lives and our economy.”
It may not be a police state but it sure sounds like it in Harris County Texas.

‘Tis a Police County, it is. And they don’t need no steeenking badges!
goddam sounds like a police state action when choice has no provision. sounds like another SQUAD MORON who got a spoonful of influence who is now trying to morph her position into actual power. Pray she never achieves prominence.
Maybe she will take the same thought and apply it to banning guns. You know, for our own safety.
right? who are these people?
BTW, Mr. Denny I have been reading you since xxxxxxxxxxxfootballs.com, ejectejecteject, blueeyedinfidel, IMAO, Emporer Misha, Kim Dutoit and Acidman still ruled…looks like you now rule the roost and I am totally fine with that.
You are an institution to some of us out here who seek some basic, downhome
and personal truth.
I just feel the need to thank you for your hanging in and making our EVERY SATURDAY. You, Ron and Saturday BOOBAGE are teh NEW INSTITUTION!!!
Even if you decide to, one day disappear forever….do know that you have touched and inspired a hillbilly from Louisiana who checks on you every week for boobage and insight…..VI
VA RON!!!!!!!
Misha and Kim are still going strong.
I still miss Pumpman. :{(
Me too. Yabu also.
I was fortunate enough to have met both of them in person.
I know, Denny. Missed out on it all. Yabu. Sad passing. Stretch, his buddy. I miss Velociman blogging, especially, with Kim, now on Bookfag. His blog was the shit. Not the same.
Suppose it all changes over time. I am owed nothing.
Good memories.
Oh! Now thinking about it, what happened to Jimbo?
He’s on Farcebook like so many of the old bloggers. Saw him at Eric’s (Straight White Guy) in October of 2018. Played guitar with him.
Does her husband require her to wear a bag over her head in the bedroom?
Ladies and gents, we have a WINNER!
” This is not a Police State – and anyone who says it is will be shot ! “
The bastards took down the basketball hoop and swings at the playground near me. All playground equipment has been taped off and CLOSED signs all around. What happened to my county?
Guess she hates kids under 10 since her mask decree excludes them … After all “What about the children “
Didn’t know judges could make rules. Either elected or appointed, that one needs to go!
They are already suing her on this issue. Wikipedia has her listed as a county judge in a “non-judicial”position. You may be correct, she may not have the authority to issue this requirement. Usually a mayor or a governor has the authority through a law or ordinance. But then she is a devout leftist and feels she can do anything “for your own safety”.
Was the same way in suburbs of DC. Northern VA was bad then but a nightmare now. We left in 1981 and have NO regrets. Where we live now is about as far as anyone can be from any metro area in the USA! Wouldn’t go back into that world for love nor money.

The recall petition will happen.
I see Blinky endorsed Slow Joe & commented on his leadership, intelligence & vast experience. You could tell she was lying, her eyelids were fluttering not just blinking.
This is the most screwed up the Democratic Party has every been in my life time.The Women “Alleged” of the Democratic also-ran`s are lining up to be Slow Joes VP. Even Racy “As in racist, racist, racist ” Stacey the Tank has lumbered out to say pick me!
Just think, the self proclaimed Governor will ascend to be the self proclaimed VP.The Democratic trash bin is gonna have to be enlarged.
Ain’t that the truth? If I’d been given the choice of Jim Webb as the Dem nominee or Mittens in 2012 it would’ve been hard not to vote for Webb as the lesser of two evils.
At this point, I’m not sure I could find a reason to vote for any Dem, even for dog catcher if they were runnin’ against Cruella DeVille.
The only exception might be Willie Brown, of Commiefornia fame. I might not like his politics, but he was a real, old-time politician. No changin’ sides or wafflin’ for him. Once he was bought, he stayed bought. His version of ethics is admirable, compared to the idiots we’ve got runnin’ these days.
