Yet you had a problem with lockdown protestors, who did so peacefully.

Smells like hypocrisy.

There is a lot of that on the Left. It's what they survive on.

Firstly I'm not in either side, secondly he's wrong, I think only an idiot with such a low capacity to understand simple concepts would protest a virus, I'm not against it i just think it's moronic.

Then again that poster did go patrol the southern border to keep Mexicans out so hed likely believe all sorts of messed up stuff.

You should reevaluate your choice of words when you have a better understanding of the facts. Nobody is protesting a virus, they're protesting whimsical and nonsensical executive orders. As I've asked you a dozen times, show me where the Bill of Rights has a virus exception and I'll concede the point.

Again, a significant oversimplification and misrepresentation of the facts.

Get a grip.

That simply means you don't undersand the consequences of a virus running rampant, it's not a difficult concept to grasp unless your capacity to understand simple concepts is non existent.

The bill of rights is not something to use when there's a full blown pandemic spreading through the populace, I would argue a little common sense is needed.

As far as governors overstepping their boundaries o don't doubt it, people are infallible.

What the U.S needed was a federal mandated plan of action but your potus is incapable so you now have the fall out, my advice would be choose more competent leadership.

Oh and as far as my comment about you patrolling the border, you're right I don't know your motivations, you're quite the character, on one hand you do weird stuff like that on the other you donate things to people in need, you're somewhat of an enigma.

I like to keep myself guessing

FWIW, we didn't "stop" anybody from entering the country whether legal or not. We provided medical aid, water and food and mylar blankets since it gets fairly cold in the desert at night. We also offered armed escort and rides on UTVs to US Border Patrol. Nobody was forced to go there. If anybody wanted to walk off in another direction that was on them, but we did warn of human traffickers/sex traffickers and explained that they would be processed and released and basically be given a date to appear before the immigration court to plead their case (or asylum request). We didn't care about any of that though. Just wanted to make sure everybody got where they wanted to go safely. Unfortunately we didn't have the resources to accompany each group or individual too far past our area of operations, but we did our best to give good directions and encouraged people to do it the right way by going to the CBP post.

Regardless of their response, we had trained EMTs in our group to provide essential medical care and truckloads of water and other supplies. 90% of people in our group were former/current law enforcement and other first responders. All very good people who just wanted to help. Help our country and help those coming across. We were armed to the 9's. But everyone was carefully screened prior to getting on the plane, and anyone with a hint of "loose cannon" was told the event was canceled. We also wore body worn cameras the entire time. Morning to night.

We primarily used drones and other surveillance devices to relay statistical information to the border patrol. They have their own drones, but not nearly enough and routinely requested our drones out to certain locations for imaging missions

Sounds like it would have been quite the adventure and I had it wrong I thought you had other motivations for going there. So I guess keep up the good work, I hope you guys had a couple cold bevies at the end of the day to relax too.

We sure did man Heres one for you too

The desert is not a very good place to be for any period of time for anybody.. our SW it is mostly rocks and dirt compared to the sand youd expect

Rattlesnakes and coyotes! They didnt bother me too much thankfully, fires tended to keep those types away. Thing is going for shady spots, animals (including the dangerous ones) tended to go there too during the day

The thing that got to me was my feet, just ached after walking over a never ending supply of sharp rocks and dried brush

Maybe this has something to do with Gretchen's recent attitude adjustment?

DOJ says Whitmer's orders impose 'arbitrary' and 'irrational' business restrictions.

This isn’t about some baby men. Scared of masks.

I'm not afraid of masks - I;m simply not afraid of a silly virus, and I don't care enough about your fear of a silly virus to placate your fear by wearing a mask that is unhealthy for me.

You take care of yourself and yours. I'll take care of myself and mine.
