Congratulations to Sheriff Jenkins. We need more like him to stand up to these petty tyrants.

So my home town of Naples, FL voted to reopen its beaches...with some bizarre restrictions.

Mon-Fri: Open from sunrise to sunset. Chairs and umbrellas allowed but no tents or coolers.

Sat-Sun: Open from 7-11AM but no chairs, umbrellas, tents or coolers allowed. Reopens from 5-Sunset but only chairs allowed.

So let me get this straight - You can use umbrellas Mon-Fri but not on weekends. Chairs allowed except weekends from 7-11 AM. Coolers prohibited at all times.

Lemme guess....science?

PA Health Secretary Moved Mother Out Of Personal Care Home After Ordering Nursing Homes To Accept COVID Patients



Oh it gets even better!

You know how PA's Assembly has been asking for King Tom Wolf III's special "waiver list" he created that allowed businesses to plead their case as "essential" and keep operating after he basically shut down the entire state on March 19th? They finally had to issue a subpoena to get it and THE NIGHT BEFORE he gives it up, he had his goons start rescinding these waivers to operate, thus they would not show up on the subpoenaed list! This whole thing stinks to high heaven and it's time this out-of-control Governor was removed from office. Mad Mad Mad


I hope Trump calls this dictator out tomorrow when he visits Allentown. Shine a big bright light on this fucking cockroach!

Pa. officials revoked coronavirus shutdown business waivers the night before publishing list of recipients

by Angela Couloumbis of Spotlight PA and Charlotte Keith, Updated: May 13, 2020- 6:30 AM

HARRISBURG — Late last Thursday evening, Tiffany Kuhn was at her home outside Harrisburg reading an e-book on her cell phone when a notification popped up that she had an email from Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration.

When she opened her inbox, Kuhn said, her blood pressure “went through the roof.” The letter from the administration, sent at 9:30 p.m., informed her that the waiver she had received six weeks earlier to operate her mobile notary business during the pandemic had suddenly, and without explanation, been rescinded.

“Imagine my surprise,” said Kuhn, who had taken special precautions, including wearing gloves and a mask when meeting with clients, since she received a waiver on March 23. That was four days after Wolf announced that all but “life-sustaining” businesses had to close because of the coronavirus unless they received an exemption.

“My first thought was, someone turned on me,” said Kuhn, who suspected a competitor might have complained.

Kuhn’s waiver was revoked by the Department of Community and Economic Development, which has overseen the much-criticized process of awarding exemptions to thousands of companies across Pennsylvania that applied for the right to remain open despite Wolf’s business shutdown order.

The timing has raised suspicions among business owners and some GOP lawmakers. Just hours before the administration disclosed the first details about which businesses received waivers, state officials were still revoking exemptions without explanation, according to several interviews with business owners.


As a result, the names of those businesses weren’t on a list of recipients that the administration eventually made public late Friday afternoon, just after the deadline set by Republican lawmakers who had subpoenaed the information. Other businesses said the state revoked their waivers after the list was published, and also without explanation.

In another case, a trucking company that had been denied a waiver weeks earlier was notified just after 9:30 p.m. Thursday that it was suddenly allowed to operate.

“I was like, huh, backpedal a little bit? … Fixing what went wrong?” said Stacy White, who with her husband owns the trucking company, based north of Scranton, that transports logs.

Officials with the Department of Community and Economic Development said the revocations were part of “a quality control review process” that began several weeks ago. In all, 69 businesses had their waivers revoked, spokesperson Casey Smith said, although she was unable to immediately say when they were notified.

“During that process, which is ongoing, we are rescinding waivers that were issued in error or do not meet the appropriate criteria,” Smith said.

The administration’s handling of the waiver process has been fraught from the start. The Department of Community and Economic Development has never detailed the criteria used to consider applications, nor has it made those applications public. It also hasn’t identified which businesses were denied, or those that were approved and then had their waiver revoked.

Businesses have criticized the waiver process, saying the decisions were made in secret and applied unfairly, causing some in the same industry to operate while competitors were forced to remain closed. In some cases, a waiver could mean the difference between a business’ surviving the shutdown or going bankrupt.

An email obtained by Spotlight PA showed that a Central Pennsylvania garden store, like Kuhn, received an email at 9:30 Thursday night informing it that its waiver was being yanked. Others were notified after Wolf’s list was published Friday evening.

That includes Micah Durling, who thought his photography business was in the clear after receiving a waiver on March 25.

The Lancaster County company, which he owns with his wife, specializes in pictures for real estate listings. The couple had adjusted to a new way of working: wearing gloves and masks, wiping down their equipment after shoots, and only taking pictures when no one was home.

Then, on Monday afternoon, they received an email from the state, abruptly revoking the waiver without explanation. The reversal came a few days after a competitor who had not received a waiver began asking about the discrepancy, Durling said.

“It was crushing,” he said. “This frankly blindsided us.”

Given the high stakes, news organizations across the state — including Spotlight PA, The Inquirer, and many others — have for weeks requested documents related to the waiver process, arguing that immediate transparency was necessary given the potential harm that could be caused by a process that was unequal or unfair.

But the Wolf administration put the requests on ice, saying it would make information available eventually but without giving a timeline. Late last month, Republicans in the Senate — some of the loudest critics of the administration’s handling of the pandemic — subpoenaed Wolf for thousands of pages of records related to the waiver process, and set a 4 p.m. deadline last Friday for the governor to respond.

The administration rebuffed the subpoena request and refused to comply, but at the same time published a list of companies that had been approved for exemptions. Officials said they had granted just over 6,100 waivers, though that tally was inconsistent with previous statements about how many exemptions were granted.

In a news release on Friday, the Department of Community and Economic Development said it had approved 6,066 waivers. On its website, it said it had approved 6,104, and within an hour, that number had been updated to 6,123.

But all are fewer than what was reported by the administration at the end of April. At that time, they said they had approved 6,171 exemptions.

Smith, the DCED spokesperson, said the department’s review process is not static, and that if “issues are brought to our attention” they will be reviewed and addressed.

Sharon Hollabaugh, who owns a small dog-grooming business outside Pittsburgh, applied for a waiver in March, but was told by the state she didn’t need one. After receiving an email on Thursday evening reversing that determination, she had to cancel dozens of appointments.

The change will be short-lived: She’ll be able to open again on Friday once Allegheny County moves to the “yellow” phase of Wolf’s tiered reopening plan.

Hollabaugh said she’s not sure why the state told her she could stay open when other dog groomers she knows were not. But she wonders about the timing of the reversal, just a day before the state first made public the list of businesses that had received waivers.

“They knew they were dumping people off that list,” she said.

If the Dems love the concept of impeachment so much, then let Repubs in the various State Legislatures bring Articles of Impeachment against these tyrannical Governors, and they can start in Kentucky first against “Queen Andy”.

That makes perfect sense to me. Northern transplants wanting to make rules. Kind of like parking regulations in Chicago.

I have often said this to leftist regarding the confiscation of guns. Nothing is stopping you, go take some.

No difference here for the little tyrants. You want people to go to jail for not staying home? Don't send the police to do your dirty work. Get out there and start rounding people up. What's the health department waiting for? People are dying! If it only saves one life!

As to Dr. Fauci and his predictions, this isn't his first rodeo. Go back and look at some of his thoughts on HIV/AIDS when it first became an issue.

Fauci is part of the problem and has been since Day 1

whats the point of having an immune system if you're treated like an elderly person on their last legs living in NY City?

The entire country was treated as if we all had the disease, with fake and phony excuses about overwhelming hospitals and running out of respirators

you don't hear much about overwhelming hospitals much now do you...

Hawaii could face civil unrest, rioting if coronavirus reopening doesn't happen quicker, top official says

It's crazy in HI, a friend's husband got stationed in HI and they aren't even allowed to walk their dogs for 14 days. If you move there you have to hire dog walker and order food for first two weeks.

They are different than contiguous states, but people can only watch their lives be destroyed for so long. We can print all the money we want, but if we don't produce stuff, there is no stuff.

I can see all the cops looking at each other, debating who gets to draw the lucky straw to tell the Polynesian family of 24, half of whom weigh-in over 300lbs, a good chunk of them have criminal records and all are diehard separtists-Monarchists, that they can't have any kind of gatherings, and they must leave the beach.

Please, dear God, let us have fall school sports, including football. Our nation needs it. On a personal note, my daughter who will be a senior in high school in the fall just became music captain of her high school marching band. It means so much to her. I so want to have an amazing fall marching band season, for the kids, for the community, for everyone.

I think the closure of the meat processing plants has caused that to hit home for many people. All the money in the world won't put food on the table if there is no food in the stores.

I noted it a while back in this thread. People are 'not' going to put up with this BS much longer. The politicos and 'experts' who think they can lock people away in their homes indefinitely are simply stirring a hornets nest. If these moron governors don't take their foot off the throats of the public, all hell is going to break out.

One of the most asinine aspects of this BS so far. Anyone with a functioning brain stem would have shut down the processing plant(s) for a couple days to disinfect, while simultaneously testing all the employees. Two days later the plant re-opens with everyone who tested negative. Mild interruption but zero long term impacts. There's obviously another agenda at work here. Either that, or these political morons are ever dumber than I give them credit for being.

I'm on several Facebook groups for re-opening Pennsylvania and standing up to Dictator-Governor Wolf and every day there's more posts from fed-up mothers who are going to parks and pulling down yellow tape and moving or bypassing barricades to let their kids have fun on the playgrounds and at parks.

This trickle is starting to speed up, and it will turn into a rushing flood and there's not enough of Wolf's goons to come and lock us all up. My county Sheriff (Berks Co, PA) has already come out publicly and said he took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States and he's NOT going to be this Governor's goon. Bravo for him.

Kids NEED TO BE OUTSIDE PLAYING, enough of this bullshit with closing everything off. ENOUGH! Mad

They closed their biggest money maker, tourism.

Stopped all plane flights of non-HI people from coming in and along with it the money they bring in. Making everyone QT for 14 days.

Pretty much all Hawaii does is tourism and sell shit related to tourism. A couple of military bases with some ship and planes, but they honestly aren't that big from a personnel perspective.
