Last time i checked this is still a free country. We do not need the health department following us around telling us how to live. Btw, why isnt your channel covering all the court cases happening with the election? Why are you not covering the thousands of cases of voter fraud?

The country is at a very fragile state right now, and if a person were to get drunk on power, it could be very damaging to the morale of that community. That's why our government built-in checks and balances into its law making process, unfortunately there are loop holes that can be exploited.

Local administrations know what is happening in their city/county and should be allowed to enact orders accordingly. (And, except possibly in the case of very small towns, these decisions are not really made by one person - there are others that help create the orders.)

Plenty of people already ignore mask orders & add to the COVID-19 spread. Many follow the orders BECAUSE there are orders. Many cities and citizens have been slow to react, if they even do, to stopping the virus. Apparently concern for the health of others rates under temporary discomfort of masks.

Progressives, which make up the bulk of the city council, have no idea as to how to reduce crime. They will try and "ride out" this murder of the Stephens student and go back to Ignore, Avoid, Delay with their task forces and failed social programs.

They are clueless. They will never hold the parents responsible because it will go against their identity politics. Start holding the parents accountable. Or at least get these kids to families who see the as blessings and not as income. Stop protecting horrible parents. Use common sense.

Start by banning taxpayer funded state employees from attending college athletic events at UM. Ban those collegiate license plates that DOR offers for a donation to the University. Ban companies from hiring UM graduates. Start stalking and doxxing state employees who are UM grads. Problem solved.

The alumni are the ones who donate large sums for things like new stadiums. They are the ones who create this college culture of downtown bars by influencing University leadership and the Alumni Associations. A bunch of UM grads work in state government. Ban them, problem solved.
