There are plenty of people who believe that the Blue State governors are purposely delaying the reopening of their States  to tank the economy, thus forcing Congress to bail them out for past mismanagement, and of course, to defeat President Trump. While I have no doubt that the Blue State Govs are bent on defeating Trump, I’m not convinced there’s a leftist conspiracy afoot.  Their actions, or inactions, may bring about the result they all crave, the end of Trump, but that’s not what’s going on.  Let’s face it, these governors (Cuomo, Murphy, Pritzker, Whitmer, Newsome, Kate Brown in Oregon, etc.) aren’t bright enough to run a conspiracy.  They can’t even run their own States. In March, there was a lot we didn’t know about the Wuhan virus.  The one thing we knew for certain though, was that it was particularly deadly for the elderly and those with co-morbidities (underlying health risks).  Despite this, Blue State geniuses Cuomo, Murphy and Whitmer, ordered infected Wuhan patients sent to nursing homes; facilities filled 100% with elderly people with co-morbidities.  These governors had access to thousands of hospital beds at  field hospitals supplied by Trump.  These facilities were barely used.  The result?  NY and NJ each have had some 6,000 deaths in nursing homes and other extended care facilities.  In NJ, 1 of every 13 people in such facilities died.  Michigan, so far, has refused to report their numbers.  The Blue State governors kept everybody locked up, although 66% of new cases affected people locked up at home.  They locked up people of all ages, although we now know that more people over age 100 died, than those under 45.  In March, the lock downs were reasonable.  All we had were Chinese lies, and the (consistently wrong) experts said the death rate was 3-4%.  We now know that the death rate is closer to 0.2%, and wouldn’t be that high had governors not infected the nursing homes, which account for some 50% of the deaths.  The hospital crisis has passed, and new case numbers are down.  So given that it’s almost June, why are we still locked up?  Why is the media still preaching doom?  Why are we wearing masks?  And when are we going to take the advice of Fox’s Dan Bongino,  “Get your ass up, go to work”?  Because Blue State governors won’t release us.  When Georgia and Florida opened up, they compared it to a human sacrifice, and predicted outbreaks.  They were wrong.  Meanwhile, Oregon Governor Brown, in a State with almost no Wuhan cases, has extended stay at home orders into July.  It’s not just incompetence or mindless fear.  Under pressure, leftists expose their true nature. They’re fascists.  Remember the principles of fascism: everything in the State; nothing outside the State; and nothing against the State.  Do what you’re told, or else.  They want to transform a land of  free citizens into a land of compliant subjects.  Don’t doubt me.  Leftists like Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsome and  major “stunod,” Joe Biden, have called the pandemic a perfect excuse for the government to nationalize healthcare, cure climate change, and impose the entire leftist agenda.  It’s an all-out assault on our constitutional rights.  Not convinced?  Harvard Law School Professor Adrian Vermeule suggests using the pandemic as an excuse to establish a new interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, implementing policies that do away with concepts such as “free speech ideology” (1st Amendment) and “property rights” (5th Amendment, and 1,000 years of English common law), the U.S. constitution having “now outlived its utility.”  Instead of individual rights, the nutty professor supports “common good constitutionalism.”  Individual rights are “selfish.”  We should promote “good rule.”  In other words, fascism.  The governors are off to a flying start.  The first part of the 1st Amendment guarantees religious freedom, but that didn’t stop governors from closing churches.  The first couple of weeks, maybe it was justified.  But now?  “Well, follow the science.”  What science?  The science from Fauci that said, the virus isn’t a threat, and we should go on a cruise?  The science that said 2 million would die?  The science that said the virus lived on surfaces for days, last weeks’ science that said it doesn’t, or this weeks’ science that says yes it does?  The infringement of constitutional rights requires the State to meet a high standard.  The Minnesota Catholic Archdiocese understands this.  “We are blessed to live in a nation that guarantees the free exercise of religion.  This right can only be abridged for a compelling governmental interest, and only in a way that is narrowly tailored to be the least restrictive means of achieving the desired end.”  According to Justice Scalia, “narrow tailoring” must be like the tailoring of Versace, not Omar the Tentmaker.  Many of the State restrictions can’t meet this test.  Many are not even rational.  Last week 3,500 people lined up at a Brooklyn church to get food.  They’re allowed to stand in the breadline, but are not allowed to pray.  In Michigan, Governor Whitmer arbitrarily decided what was “essential” and what was “non-essential.”  Food is essential, but you can’t buy seeds or plants to grow your own food.  You can buy marijuana and liquor, but not paint.  All the governors have made like decisions without any apparent authority to do so.  In California, you can walk on the beach, but can’t you sit on it.  Big stores with hundreds of customers are essential and open.  Small businesses selling the same goods are non-essential and closed.  Today, people convicted of crimes are being released, and people who are just trying to work are being jailed.  Why?  Because the fascists said so.  Same for the mask crap.  Fauci, (the science) told us not to wear masks one day, and to wear them the next.  They never said what changed.  Nothing changed.  The masks engender and perpetuate fear, and people who are desperate and afraid are more likely to submit.  Judges have reversed some orders.  One of the most eloquent is Illinois Judge Michael McHaney, “When laws do not apply to those who make them, people are not being governed, they are being ruled.  Make no mistake, these executive orders are not laws.  They are royal decrees.  Illinois citizens are not being governed, they are being ruled.  The last time I checked Illinois citizens are also Americans and Americans don’t get ruled.  The last time a monarch tried to rule Americans, a shot was fired that was heard around the world.  That day led to the birth of a nation consensually governed based upon a document which ensures that on this day in this, any American courtroom tyrannical despotism will always lose and liberty, freedom and the constitution will always win.”  Bravo.  A government’s legitimacy derives from the consent of the governed.  I don’t consent.   Thomas Jefferson advised that “a little rebellion now and then is a good thing.”  It’s now or never.
