I mean....it was nice to see and everything, but where the fuck was he when the shit was actually happening?

We should preserve our laws and our freedom in times of crisis. The fact that the Left disagrees tells you everything you need to know.

What astounds me to this day are the Covidians dogged desire to cling to measures Gorsich alluded to as though they actually worked and that they did not go far enough. Stupid is, what stupid says...

Great piece, Alex! The NYT commentariat is all the evidence I need to confirm that my decision to flee the NYC Metro was a good one.

When I was fired for refusing the jab, it took quite awhile for me to find representation to sue my former employer. Thank God I found a group to take my case on, but it wasn’t easy. As time has passed, its obvious now who’s on the right side of this.

What I STILL can’t wrap my head around after all this time is why was it “safe” to shop and eat at Target and Walmart but not your local small businesses!

As a lifelong Democrat who knew about the dangers of all vaccines decades go, I was telling people from the get-go that you couldn’t pay me a $million to take the jab. Then all the people I thought I had pretty similar views with lined up like sheep! Geez! Needless to say, my views about many, many things have dramatically changed! Thank God for Substack, Brownstone Institute, Peak Prosperity, CHD, Brand, Dr. Mercola, and many more!:)

What I learned from this? Among other things, the NYT readership is a lock step echo chamber that has sacrificed its right to think to leftist ideology. And people actually think that what happened in Germany last century could never happen here, as long as they suspend our right of speech and other inconvenient rights to their “enlightened” rule.

Any attorney, judge, or legal scholar who wasn't horrified at the widespread and criminal insult to human rights and Constitutionally guaranteed individual freedoms that constituted the official response to the pandemic is either a fascist, a collaborator, or brain-dead.

Gorsuch is incorrect that they "threatened violators not just with civil penalties but with criminal sanctions too." They weren't mere "threats." Maryland actually put a man in jail for over a year for having parties at his own home.

New York Times readership is disabled, unfortunately. And they read to solely confirm their disability.

Again, this is why we should never, ever forget - or forgive - what they did. They show no remorse and would "reoffend" at the drop of a hat.

I live in NY. Two weeks before that dumb fuck Cuomo initiated the lockdown, hospitalizations from COVID dropped dramatically. Two weeks after the lockdown, hospitalizations rose dramatically. This actually surprised him, didn't see it coming. See, that's what happens when you force people to stay in the same house together for extended periods of time, it spreads faster! Instead of admitting he fucked up, like most blue state governors wouldn't, he blamed the people in his state. Word of advice to people, STOP ELECTING DEMOCRATS!! INTELLIGENCE IS NOT THEIR STRONGEST CHARACTER TRAIT!!

Meanwhile Trump just watched. And we still don't have an apology or acknowledgement of any errors.

The sadness about the whole affair is that the actual denial of "Constitutional Rights" is really lost on the majority, not only the LEFT, nut so many of the middle and Right. Fear made cowards of them all. The politics involved was allowed to hide behind "The Greater Good" while secretly gloating over the childish mantra, Ha, Ha, I made you do it while trying to garner more power. The next time we may have a "King" for life if we allow a next time. "All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. “ (Edmound Burke)
