It has begun.

This isn't federal though.

Why shouldn't a state be allowed to expel residents of any state it wishes?

I think this is ok. In fact, i think governors from all states should hunt down any individual who has paid state taxes within the past 5 or 10 years to New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, Pennsylvania or Massachusetts, seize their assets and send them back to their home state.

I'd have a problem if this were the feds doing this, but states should have the right to determine its borders, including keeping out illegal aliens, including illegal aliens that are residents of a different state.

Your main point is certainly valid and normally I would be in agreement. But these are not "normal" times and if we allow police and military to enter our houses looking for something this time, then they are coming again to get your gun and maybe your gold. It is a very slippery slope and we are right at the top of it now.

BTW, thanks for reading the post. You seem to be the only one.

James K. Polk: an American president from North Carolina or as some poorly-educated people say, Tennessee. Is that what you were going for there? I'm from the eastern part.

I agree. I suppose I'm moderately cynical, displeased and venting.

I can't be sure, but i think it's through special coronavirus federal funding that they've activated the national guard, not through regular state funding.

So really, it is ultimately the feds doing this, just state governors who are henchmen, doing the bidding of the feds. These governors have had years to try to figure out how to slow the influx of The Blue, and nobody cared.

Ultimately, as we progress and move socialist, the people cannot have weapons to defend themselves. There can be only one master. Once you've relinquished your rights, you don't get them back. I'm fairly certain that's where we are.

People seemingly argue whether there was actually 3 percent who wanted the revolution, if the current times are any indicator that seems about right. I've been really dismayed at the levels of socialist idealism and freedom capitulation from random folks I've been hearing out and about dealing with all this lockdown stuff.

Yesterday I just slightly pushed back on the owner of a gas station yesterday on the idea of locking everyone down, he looked appalled and i know if it were a very soon to be time, he would phone the police on me as i walked out with my purchase.

It's hard for me to believe that's where we are is all. But this is the way of all societies in history. And as Tolkien wrote, "that is not for your to decide, all you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you"

It's hard for me to believe that's where we are is all.

That is where I was about 2003, asking myself if people in my own government and another government in the ME could hsve carried out that horrible act two years before. I read more and finally had the answer: yes they could, and did. If they did 9/11 they are not human, they are psychopathic and totally amoral demons. Those same people could easily carry out this hoax pandemic and the power and money grab that goes with it because they are surrounded by the light of the morning star, lucifer. They are satanists who want money, power, and blood. Once we realize that, everything becomes clear.

My favorite passage from Tolkien is from his poem Roads Go Ever On:

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with weary feet,

Until it joins some larger way,

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.
