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.

Harry D Voter's Guide: Knoth should be retained, Ward 2 vote for Lisa Meyer for better safety. CPS BoE is clear choice of the three candidates. For the change our students need, only vote for one, Potter. If you are a liberal, don't worry about voting at all, the NEA has got this. FJB

I had a great view of the 2017 evlipse in our back yard! I moved a folding chair to stay in the shade while I waited. It was spectacular, and its getting dark and cold was eerie.
