    --About this covid pandemic and all the face masks and vax controversy -- Biden wants to mandate his rules to everyone -- the state governors want to mandate their rules to everyone -- the city mayors want to mandate their rules to everyone -- the local school boards wants to mandate their rules to everyone. Some mandate a mask and some say a mask is optional. I say let the mayor mandate for the city and the school board mandate for the schools -- both leaders answer to the local citizens. That's where local control should rest.
    --Too much control now comes from D. C. Heck, just this morning I read the Biden Admin is investigating the frequency of break-downs of the ice cream machines at all the McDonald's.

    Guess he's forced to, Pelosi won't set up a "select committee" since she doesn't eat "plebeian" ice cream...:D

    I agree with you here. Governor DeSantos should stay out of local schools policies.

    All public schools should be run locally. Governors can have an opinion just like anyone else, but they should not over ride decisions local officials unless what the locals are doing is against the law. This doesn't mean they can pronounce new "laws" and then override local officials. Local government has the most effect on the lives of local people. It is also the easiest for locals to change.

    So basically, you want to whittle down who makes the decision until you find someone who agrees with you. Interesting.

    I should have asked why you picked on one governor.

    So basically Danny Boy, you need help. I recommend some reading comprehension lessons, maybe grades 1 through 4.

    Bingo

    Maybe they should just poll the guys at the bar and see what they think.

    How about protecting children from the parents of other children, who are idiots?

    Why do you think child A should be free to infect and kill child B as long as the parent of child B was outvoted?

    Let me see, we elect leaders to make the rules, fair enough, but they have to answer to the people, and if we don't like the rules we vote the leaders out. Great plan, fair enough, I can live with that. So now we have liberals telling us it's their bodies and they can abort a baby any time they want meanwhile the same liberals are telling some people you must let the government inject a drug into your body no matter what your moral, health, or religious convictions are. Loony tunes liberals.

    We need to get to the bottom of the McDonald's ice cream machines. Where is Mueller when you really need him? Well, at least Pelosi is on top of it.

    Adam Schiff has proof the Russians are behind the inoperable ice cream machines.

    How about letting the individual citizen make his own mind up as to what clothing items he will wear when leaving the house?

    How about letting the parents decide what clothing and health items their children will practice?

    Is this really the land of the free, or is that just government propaganda?
