So why was he fined $1,000? The school district said he violated his contract. I guess you can no longer quit even if the school district turns to sh*t. That is what happens when you elect communists and fascists to every controlling position in local government. As Dorothy would say, "We are no longer in Kansas".

I hope rough places are made smooth. Perhaps it will encourage people to stand up.
I have suggested to FenSpouse that we go to a super market further away which has no "Mask Up" signs. The one we normally go to just put up official signs saying "According to CDC guidelines masks must be worn in this store." The other store must have decided they'd get more customers if they took down the mask up signs, or the owners are just sick of the entire thing.

On masking and vaxing, this is the key for them to submission. The Left is acting like a big, awkward nerd asking the hottest cheerleader to the prom.
On governance, they screw up everything. When your policies are alined with reality, you cut through problems like a sharp ax cutting branches. The Left takes the same ax, turns it sideways, and fails to cut -- just making problems worse.

But Marvel's Mystery Oil (stop laughing) contains peopermint oil. It has a function, it's actually a synthetic wintergreen oil that is incorporated as a very effective penetrating oil. It has a strong odor, could try wiping down metal and plastic parts with a generous thin coat, it will look spiffy, at the very least!
I've read enough horror stories about mice and wiring harness damage, I leave the hoods up on cars and trucks in the garage. On late model stuff, it can damn near total it.

Yup. The reason for the BLM protests was to give them control of the streets so the Right would be afraid to protest.

It is a welcomed catastrophe. Biden's illegitimate administration cultivated it, wants it, perpetuates it, encourages it.
Want it to stop? At the very least, turn off the taxpayer's purse, deny them the ability to get US jobs. They'd leave on their own. But Hiden doesn't want that. It's as plain as day.

The I-25 internal border checkpoint in New Mexico is wide open right now and has been since shortly after Biden got a hold of the presidency. That checkpoint used to catch all kinds of illegal smuggling. This is not the only checkpoint in New Mexico that is wide open right now.
I would be curious to know if this is an isolated case or if this is common now. It begs the question if they've took them down so the buses of illegals being shipped around the country don't get snagged at an internal border checkpoint.

Or, it's a bunch of citizens advocated for the policies they want. I've had this argument before. A religiously based policy preference is not a second class preference that needs to get to the back of the bus when the seculars come along. At least not in this country.
This is where I always segue into my argument that it's not the power of government that bothers me, it's the reach. If the voters of my county supported laws that totally harshed my mellow, I should be able to move to one more in tune with my desires. But if a state or national government is imposing one-size-fits-all laws, where am I to go?

Started on stage with Ziegfeld Follies (became the star), most widely read newspaper columnist, number one radio star and movie star in 1935, and generally most well-known and beloved American celebrity. More people turned out for his funeral than any other figure at the time.

Booze is only one thing, when I was growing up in my home county it was totally dry. And no store could be open on Sunday. It wasn't until all 4 major churches in town were without a pastor that the county became wet, but still no alcohol sales on Sunday and all major stores had to be closed on Sunday. Even now in the county I am living in no major stores can be open on Sunday until after 2 pm.

Decades ago when I lived in West Virginia you couldn't buy booze on Sundays. I believe at one point the law was modified in our county to allow beer and wine sales after 1PM which I assume was to allow folks to get out of church.
Interestingly, beer was sold most everywhere but any wine in a glass bottle was only sold in a liquor store. Much confusion with the local politicians about how wine coolers were to be addressed. Eventually they treated them as beer.

Never supported any of this, because anyone who has been even a casual observer of history over the last 60 years could have seen this coming.

My theory, since proven correct, was that when absolutely NOTHING was glowing (with a white hot heat) in the entire Middle East on 9/12/2001, we had been sold out by the Bush cartel and no future administration would ever get it right!

Interestingly, beer was sold most everywhere but any wine in a glass bottle was only sold in a liquor store. Much confusion with the local politicians about how wine coolers were to be addressed. Eventually they treated them as beer.

As late as about 1971 here in Da Swamp, grocery stores were closed on Sundays, as were hardware stores. The liquor section of grocery stores (yes, you can buy booze right there in the grocery, no separate stores) would be roped off on election days.

Couple of thing..
Yes, this is a "good thing" that we are getting out.
No, we should have never been there in the first place.
Fun Fact:
The GDP of Afghanistan is 20 billion dollars, if we simply paid off every man women and child every year, instead of trying to bring the "Jeffersonian Democracy," to 7th century barbaric goat herders, we would have been ahead of the game.

Even now, one guy Bannon had on thought Taliban would be smart enough to "not poke the bear" by trying to take Americans hostage before the withdrawal. (I guess we are leaving the Taliban so much of our weaponry so they can fight China when they come in? Or to keep war going so the MIC can have another war to enrich themselves? sheesh ... )

I worked across the highway from that ABC Store and would watch the ATF agents sit in our parking lot waiting to see who left and drove into the next county, which was dry. They'd bust the perps, confiscate the booze and take said booze back to the ABC Store for resale. What a nice little racket they had going, all perfectly legal.

Nephew's oldest daughter and husband bought a 5th wheel and we let them park it on our property. He just got out of the army after 7 years. His right knee was crushed during his 3rd deployment. Two of those were in Afghanistan. Seems to be a great kid. He borrowed the Mule yesterday and spent most of the day by himself up in the hills. His wife said he's struggling to grasp what the hell just happened. Going to try and take the kid shooting across the street today. No talk, just put some holes in the silhouettes and ring some steel.

Sure you can, and I am not insulting him.
You have a societal hypothesis at the ready find a film that tangentially touched on anything that can be twisted into a metaphor for said hypotheses and watch the fun begin.
A practical understanding of the artistic tradecraft allows the usage of the actual mechanics of making the medium to be a further commentary.
"The shadowy composure of the filming belies the ethereal metamorphosis of the pair into eldritch cyphers like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to Hamlet"....
anyone can do it when they put their mind to it.

I ignore such signs, and always have. No one has ever challenged me. At Kohl's, they had someone stationed at a table to offer masks to entering customers. I always smiled and said "No thanks!" and continue into the store. If anyone had ever insisted, I would leave and take my money with me.
There was only one time I complied, and that was when I was in a five and dime, and had been shopping for 15 minutes, having filled my basket with some hard-to-find items. I was already invested (and trying to avoid Amazon). The manager was apologetic, but said it was a city ordinance. So I put on my fake mask to complete my shopping, which lasted another 5 minutes. I think that was the only time I wore a mask in any but a medical setting.
