Texas Governor Gregg Abbott just issued an executive order lifting the mask mandate in Texas and allowing every business and facility to open at 100% of capacity.  The Mississippi Governor just announced a similar order. The Dam is breaking, and the flood waters of freedom are on the way. Except here in California, where Governor Newsom put on a photo op in a restaurant in Fresno, closed because of COVID. He says he did not eat there but was seen standing next to a table full of food and drinks. Comedian George Lopez joined Newsom and posted a video endorsing the restaurants food. At best, this was beyond dumb.

Now Newsom is calling the decision by Governor Abbott absolutely reckless. So, while the eyes of Texas are peering out over mask free faces, California is deciding whether we are in the  purple, red, orange, or green tier. In the meantime, the state is trying to micromanage when and where children can return to school and who knows when restaurants and, gasp, churches can reopen. This would be great, if these idiotic methods worked, but they don’t.  Dr. Fauci today said he is worried about two states, California and New York. But places like Florida, Texas and South Dakota are doing at least as well as California, without the nonsense. So, while we will soon see people laughing and socializing with each other in Texas, without masks, Governor Newsom will lecture us solemnly on why we must socially distance, wash our hands and always, always, always wear a mask. In the meantime, politicians in California are desperately praying, to the God they don’t believe in, that Texas will become a super spreader site. Because if that does not happen, California moves into the certifiably insane tier.

My guess is that Texas will do just fine and the CDC and the MSM will lie in a failed attempt to pretend this is horrible without regard to the actual results. But it won’t work anymore. Too many people have vaccines and the ability to destroy our freedoms because of irrational fear is disappearing at the speed of light.

The good news is that soon and very soon every state will be re-opened, without regard to the best laid plans of mice, and men and Democratic Governors of either sex. Something else will happen. A lot of people are going to finally start demanding answers about why this was all necessary in the first place. Governor Cuomo is on life support. This is so bad that his own brother has tried, and failed, to distance himself. Now, thanks to this brilliant photo op, the odds of Governor Newsom being recalled just went from orange to purple without even bothering to stop on red.

We have been living in an insane asylum for nearly a year. This time, having the inmates run the institution is a significant improvement.
