Drawing a Line in the Sand ~ Ep. 1293 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show’s description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the growing tyranny of face mask mandates. These mandates treat us all as children, incapable of making responsible decisions. I also address the explosion of cancel culture and it’s growing impact on liberals too.

After seeing the great Episode 1293, it took me a little while to get to writing this blog. I got sidetracked a little. In a weird way, I think I am able to segue into this episode by mentioning something I talked about yesterday.  It is all about what American citizens do when the government mandates our shift in behavior, such as banning fireworks, and wearing face bras…umm, I mean, masks, in order to stop the spread of the Wuhan Flu.

Well, for sure, Dan was fired up today, being that Martin County in Southern Florida had voted to mandate the wearing of masks.  There are exceptions to it, but still, I think it was the fact that the County officers perceived their powers to be necessary because we dumb hicks out here just can’t figure it out on our own.  It is an attack on our liberty, as I think Dan was saying.  And yes, he’s totally right.  I remember when here in Iowa, they decided that business owners weren’t free to decide if they would allow cigarette smoking in bars and restaurants, and many other places. I knew it would happen, too, they soon added many other locations, even outside, where smoking wouldn’t be allowed.  Those mandates always seem to keep creeping more and more into our freedom.   Once we’re on that slippery slope toward tyranny, it’s hard to get back up the incline.  Ever notice that?

So, in the case of the Martin County mask mandate, there are ways to fight back, as Dan explains in the first segment of the show.  He can just not wear the mask, and pay the fine.  And, as he says, he can get people to run for those offices in the County government, and create some real headaches for the incumbents, such as being primaried.  Well, here in Iowa, they made it much more difficult to be rebellious against the cigarette bans.  They made it so that the business owner, such as a bar owner or employee, would be the one that would pay the fine if anyone was caught having a cigarette with their beer.  The only other option would be to have outside areas at bars and restaurants where people could drink and smoke; but then, that has a cost, too.

Don’t worry, that wasn’t all Dan talked about today.  The World Health Organization, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, his brother Chris Cuomo at CNN, and others, did not escape Dan’s not-so-mellow scrutiny, which I enjoy seeing.  So, feel free to see this episode all the way through, our skip through it if needed for your time, but watch this one.  And by the way, I’ve added Bonus Video for you today, from the story about the fireworks (literally) in Los Angeles.  See you all tomorrow!

BONUS VIDEO:
Insane Fireworks over Los Angeles

(This scene would probably be much like it was here in Cedar Rapids, where fireworks are banned, too.  I would have done a video of it here, but that DroneX I ordered and paid for is delayed somewhere in China.  I may never receive it!)
