When it really happens: SHTF...

This is when you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that something is purely political.

Governor restricts crowd sizes at sporting events which has crushed commercial events and really harmed the mental health of school age children who while they may compete, can have not spectators including their family members watch them.

The State Congress passes a law nullifying the governor's dictate, he refuses to sign it. The State Congress holds a vote to over ride the veto and enough members of the governor's party change their votes to no which results in the over ride failing.

The Governor is sued to declare his dictate UN-Constitutional. It goes to the State Supreme Court which has a majority of the Governor's party sitting on it. They decline to overturn his dictates.

The Governor is sued in Federal court and the judge declares his mandate unconstitutional.

The Governor requests a stay from the judge until he can appeal. He is denied.

The Governor court shops and finds a Federal Court that will grant him a stay.

So the Governor's mandate prohibiting gatherings for sporting events is put back in place after being gone for two weeks. The Friday it is put back into place is largely ignored by every high school in the state as they already handed out tickets to parents and families.

Sunday, two days after the Governor got his wish to have his dictates put back in place, he reverses himself and allows sporting events to be held based on their capacity. Which is EXACTLY what the judge had ordered, the Legislature had passed and what the schools and commercial venues were doing in the first place.

It's enough to drive you nuts.

And last evening, I got to watch our transgender Health Secretary tell us all how wonderful Pennsylvania did their job compared to Florida and Texas. Neither of those two states fully shut down and both opened back up fairly early. We are still shut down in many areas, entertainment, restaurants, bars, etc. Florida did recently surpass us in death rates, Texas is still below us. But that is with they up and running at near normal. Neither sent covid patients into their nursing homes.


Now the Governor of neighboring New York has once again stripped the Mayor of New York City of his ability to regulate Covid restrictions. They both plan to restrict religious groups under threat of arrest and the takeover of their places of worship along with closing schools in certain neighborhoods.
