Just a reminder that this COVID-19 panic and the un-Constitutional shutdown we have been suffering through is being brought to us by appointed Government bureaucrats. They are not practicing health care experts or scientists. Some of the scientists may be professionals but they are funded by the federal government so their managers have a conflict of interest. There are no studies proving that wearing face masks alone will protects you from a virus no how many times you hear that there is on the TV news. I ate lunch in a small south Texas town yesterday and NOBODY was fearing masks just like I expected. People are getting real tired of wearing masks. Michelle Malkin just put this short 8 min video together about wearing face masks:

I like wearing a mask so that I can blow kisses and give some tongue action to all the fatties in Walmart, without the usual face slap responses.

Blessing in disguise, this govt overreach is.

Very interesting and thanks for posting. I really am getting sick of this B.S.

Lots & lots of idiots think that the masks are all that is saving them from death.................and they like them because of that.

Meant to say fu^cking idiots.

MM

At a Wendy’s right now. Sign on door says “Masks required per health code requirement”. There is zero requirement t here from any health department. Of course nobody in here has a mask. Same as half the people at Walmart. We all just give a nod at our fellow rebels...

My wife made the comment, last year you'd get arrested, For, wearing a mask here.

How the fug do you go into an eating establishment and eat anything with a mask on?

Based on the micron size of mask pours and the micron size of the virus in sneezed particulate wearing a mask is about as effective as wearing a stocking for a condom.

Barry, it's ridiculous. Here, you're required to walk to your table wearing a mask. Then, you can take it off while seated. If you need to use a restroom, you have to put the mask back on or Schumer's storm troopers are quacking at you.

Needless to say, I'm not frequenting many restaurants right now. It's a shame because those workers are some of the most hurt by the virus lies.

But, the dhimicrat elites don't care. We're all in this together, my ass.

Louisiana has a law against wearing masks in public. My bank requires you not to wear one.

I ate lunch at my favorite Mexican food place last week and there were at least 20 people sitting right next to each other at the bar that's 15' from the waiting area by the front door. You're still required to wear a mask when you come in and wear it until your seated at a table or you go the bar. Thanks Gov. Abbott.

Went to Lucas Speedway at Wheatland Mo last night to watch the ASCS races. There were probably 3,000 or more spectators there. I could come close to counting on one hand all of the people wearing a mask. No one was loosing their schitt if you got to close, you were still able to grab your own burger from the warmer and add your own condiments,draw your own coffee and get your own soda.

I've found that from Socorro on south, nobody in New Mexico bothers with the damned things. Anecdotally, lots of Trump signs showing up on the Navajo Nation...I think Governor Karen redpilled much of the state. Don't be surprised if the state flips for Trump.

People out in small towns don’t wear masks much

Mask wearing is theater for the slow.

I've actually been seeing MORE people wearing the stupid things as time goes on. It's not very encouraging.

I wear one at Wmart to keep me from breathing part of the bad stuff from others. A question for you guys. Why are the photos of the Chinese in their cities showing lots of folks with masks on? Not just since the Wuhan showed up. Be Well, RZ.

Less here, a lot under the nose.

Wrong.

The mask stops water droplets when you sneeze.

The virus particles are in the droplets, not the air.

IndyCA35 that's what I have thought for a long time. Be Well, RZ.

I'm trying to look at the mask thing this way...........I believe in private property rights, and if the owner of a business that is private property says that a mask is required on their property, then that's their right, By the same token, it's my right to go somewhere else if I don't like, or put on a mask and comply with them if I do step foot in there.

I do have a problem with government trying to control every aspect of our lives, which includes the mask mandate. They are always overstepping their bounds on everything.

My bank here does require them before entering. Hancock/ Whitney.

But......no hoodies or sunglasses.

Go figger, Brother.

What I’ve seen in some small bull_hit towns in Illinois Is that the owners aren’t pushing the masks but the liberal butttards in these communities turn in the businesses if they see someone without a mask which has resulted in some fines up to $2k. So the ownerS are asking people to wear to stop the fines.
What a crock of crap. People complain in these little towns that we have to support the locals then s9me locals do this crap

Went to a bike shop last Monday a week. They insisted on a mask just to enter the store and didn’t allow browsing. I was gonna buy some little bits and pieces. Maybe a new set of mountain bike grips. They would bring stuff over for me to look at. They said not to blame them because the governor has mandated this. About 3-4 miles down the road there is another bike shop that doesn’t require patrons to wear the darned things. Same governor same mandates and you get to enter the store and browse like a customer should.

There is a second shop in northern KY that insists on the same “we will bring it out to you”. I told the first shop that I wouldn’t do business that way. Only one of the three will get my future business or I’ll drive 15 extra miles to a shop in a suburb of Cincinnati. Stores that take the mandates to the extra level perpetuate the panic and don’t deserve my business. They contribute to the harm being caused to our country.

Past week at hockey practice, which the queen of MI says you have to mask up for, my kid looked at me with her mouth guard in hand that was attached to her cage on the helmet and just said "really". Can't wear an attached mouth piece with a mask. Coach said to ditch the masks.

State owns and runs ALL liquor stores in Virginia.

Got in a mask conflict a 3 months back...

They told me I had to leave or face a trespassing arrest.

"Fine... I'll make my own liquor."

"You can't... that's illegal."

Sure

Chinese are communist and live with no freedoms. They do what the government says. Mask do not work.

Actually there has been a study done I believe it was done in 2010 and it found that wearing face masks provided NO protection from the flue or other viruses.

Most do not have a legitimate reason for not wearing a mask, as usual the masses will pay.

FIFY

I have yet to wear a mask. And I won’t. We have our share of rules, virtue signaling warriors and wokescolds. So far, I have been able to withstand them.

Do they have the right ta make you recite the koran whilst shopping?

Or by a qweer decorated cake?

Admit that Black Leeches Matter?

Good compilation by M.M.
Bad lie by Redfield or whoever his name is.
He, fausey and the overall established medical industry prove that they are into medicine for the $, certainly not for helping patients and the love of mankind. For loving our neighbors as we love ourselves we have to talk with Christians and christian physicians who are obedient to God.

I'm not arguing your point, but rather making us all aware of the propaganda concerning proper authorities. I've read the constitution.
The mask muzzling authoritarian tyrants have been controlling the argument. They are the ones who have set the false standard that,
"practicing health care experts or scientists" have ANY valid authority over others. In a medical dictatorship they do this without question. In a Constitutional Republican government as the states are supposed to be, this should be disregarded as much as if the chinese embassador was our boss.

I think that you believe that too. I just want us to be aware of who has been controlling the arguments on both sides. They are quite clever you know.

THIS

I think those that wear a mask religiously are doing so to keep their shiet for brains from falling out their mouth.

You don't need a mask to cover a sneeze. The mask just keeps yer bad breath to yerself.

MM

If someone criticizes me for not wearing a mask, I tell him/her, "Back off. Don't hassle me or I'll sneeze on you."

The mask Nazi skedaddles pretty quick."

L.W.

It is important to remind the herd that their opinions and fears are utterly irrelevant.

Simply start coughing. You don’t have to say a word.

Typical azzhole reply.. What part of private property rights do you not understand?

James got up on the wrong side of the bed

Good post... Maybe 20-30% of people wear 'em around this area.. I don't. I won't. Not now - not ever...

At this point, there is one reason for any of this...to justify voting by mail.

I stopped at a German restaurant in a small town about an hour from home, I was at the end of a 400 mile motorcycle ride Saturday and I was hungry. The sign said wait to be seated and I was in full armor with my helmet and tank bag in my hands. The hostess asked me if I had a mask and I said no but I would wear my helmet to be seated and she said no, pointing to the sign and saying you have to wear a mask.

There were picnic tables setup end to end, row by row and packed with people as old or older than me sitting shoulder to shoulder.

The entire pandemic is stupid, the rules are beyond stupid...seriously, a mask is required to walk through a restaurant to be seated where a mask is not required. Where the fk' do these people think the air we exhale is going?

Fk'em...I walked out without a confrontation and fk'd them on FB.

I know the majority here despise FB but it has it's benefits, businesses hate bad reviews.

Communist propaganda ....Do you feel like a useful idiot now or is it just while you shop in the Chinese store?

^^^ This ^^^

From what I'm seeing here around my area (other than those who actually have preexisting health issues that could be complicated if they contracted covid-19 virus, flu virus, etc.), the most adamant about wearing face masks in public settings are largely hard-core Democrats who push it as a political statement, not because they honestly believe masks to be effective preventative / protective aides.

He is using cases that have came to light. Remember the private property owners who refused to make a gay wedding cake being sued into non existence... If that was fair why shouldn't it be fair for folks to sue business owners for making people wear masks in their business?

I think most women are more attractive with a mask on. Maybe it is because they aren't talking as much. Maybe the uglier part of the face is the bottom half.

what part of the fact that business owners have NO property rights you do not understand ? can they put up a sign no blacks allowed or no homos or jews allowed?

Reading comprehension Okie. Water droplets are caught by the mask. The virus is in the water droplet. The mask catches it. When I go around people like the folks at walmart i want protection from the virus spreading people of walmart like you. Name calling is a bit childish. Cashisking you can make up to 500 gallons of your own liquor each year. You just can't legally sell it without being taxed and regulated. But you can give it away to any person you wish. 500 gallons is a lot for one man. Suit yourself. Please don't get caught selling illegal booze. I have it on good authority that Leavenworth is a bad place to live. Be Well, RZ.

recently, I was entering the local branch of a chain liquor store. The black employee inside told me I had to wear a mask. I told him I had a medical exemption, and did not have to wear one. He countered by saying it had nothing to do with local law and exemptions, but it was company policy. My riposte was 'well, if corporate came out with a policy that banned black folks, would you be ok with that. Doing so would contravene law but hey, if it's company policy, it's ok?"
While he tried to figure that out, I went ahead and bought the Bulleitt Rye whiskey I wanted, paid and left. On the way out, he walked over and said "what you said was uncalled for". I told him to just think about it.
I am SO over virtue signaling and wokescolds.

I figure a lot of the reason for the Chinese wearing masks is because of the horrendous air pollution over there. As in India they probably burn everything they can for fuel. Like tires, plastic, used oil. We don't much do that, at least not on the scale they do.

Got escorted out of Sam's club in Macon by security for not wearing a mask. There's nothing you can really do about it besides leave the store. I had 45 rounds of 9mm and 5 rounds of 22 mag and a good right hand at my disposal, but using any of them didn't seem like the right thing to do.

How about “No Smoking “ signs on private business property?

As usual, you don’t know what you’re talking about. You just blather.

As did the sock puppet.

I don't like wearing a damn mask, but I'm not going to make a big deal out of it either. I figure the business that has that "you have to wear a mask in here" sign up has a legitimate right to do so. Some of you just don't like being told you have to do something you don't want to do, that's all this boils down to. Just go shop somewhere else, or go home.

Having said that, I suspect that if, given a choice, most businesses will tell you that they'd rather be open and requite a mask to be worn, than shut down like so many were earlier this year. No doubt, there was a huge overreaction to the so called pandemic, as the Democrats and the media knew exactly what they were doing in blowing it up. But, just suck it buttercup, and don't act like wearing a mask is the end of the world.

Wearing a N95 or KN95 would save 40,000 lives a year if everyone wore them. Masks are

required for the same reason you can not drive 85 MPH in a school zone. The more you wear the

masks the less of a problem it is. N95 masks stop 95% or more of viruses, smoke and other particulates.

They stop viruses down to .007 microns plus almost everything else.

"Wearing a N95 or KN95 would save 40,000 lives a year if everyone wore them."

Source please

Fatties losing weight would save 100,000 lives a year. I don’t see a nationwide plan to fight obesity

Hell no and they won't even mention this lil' tidbit.......only 'co-morbidity' as opposed to 'fat-f**kers' goin die from tha rona

He's full of shat. At best, it would delay their deaths. Keep them alive long enough to suffer from cancer or some other horrible, long term disease. Cause that's compassionate.

So Raeford are you condoning making mask to be require forever? Between the colds and hundreds of flus in the world we could save that many lives forever right. Edk

You are all over the place with your logic. first, you say its the "government" imposing something on you, and not health care experts, then you put a clause on that so that the only valid ones are the ones that agree with you pulled out of your ass opinion. Selfish BS.

Quit being lazy and do some google work and read everything you see just not what you agree with, and ignore what hurts your feelings. Start with this article. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-n...s-contribute-to-who-mask-guidelines.html

If better testing would have happened from the beginning, as well as more consistent mask-wearing we wouldn't have needed such extensive shutdowns. And probably would havethe projected nearly 378,000 American deaths by the next inauguration day.

https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america?view=total-deaths&tab=trend

And tell JagTampax to shove it, he forgot about me in an earlier post.

Actually, Michelle Obama tried to address the issue in schools and you all had kanipotions.

All ready forgot source but the answer was 70,000 lives saved by wearing any

Mask by Dec. 1 st of this year. The worst mask stops about 28% of COVID-19

Or less and the KN95 or N95 stop 95% or more. So the number is probably over a 100,000 lives.

"Wrong.
The mask stops water droplets when you sneeze.
The virus particles are in the droplets, not the air."

Wrong yourself. A virus is spread in vapor not water droplets. A face mask with an N95 rating means it blocks 95% of vapors (and their hard to breath through). The face mask I use for spray painting is rated N100 but it still doesn't filter 100% of vapors (I think it filters 99.6%). The masks and rags that people are wearing would probably rate N00 for blocking vapors. Don't forget your eyes are still exposed.

I didn't "have" a damned thing over it.
As a people, we're fat, no way around it.

Of course you did and BS!!!

Unfortunately I suppose[for those around me] I am anti-mask unless hunting.
IMO-this thing needs to run it's course. The sooner the better!

That .gov[that you clearly love so much] killed off how many by scarfing[pun] up all of the N95's while telling you sheeples they didn't help.

But keep on keeping on as they have your best interests at heart.

I believe in property rights too but it's not the property owner that requires you to wear a mask it's an overreaching government.

The first day that temps don’t get over 30 will show everyone exactly how effective masks are at containing moisture vapor.
