Lincoln, Nebraska locals are heated over Power-drunk government officials that are ruining lives and livelihoods in the name of COVID-19 safety, according to the Western Journal.
Daniel Lawrence Whitney said, “I normally stay out of all this stuff. My goal in life is to make people laugh and happy, and that’s what I like to do.”
“When they started deeming people nonessential workers, I thought it was an insult.”
“Because nobody in this country is nonessential. Everyone has a part to play,” Whitney said.
“It’s always crazy to me,” he went on, “that all the people that force other people out of business and having them have a hard time to make a living, I’ve noticed that every one of them are getting paychecks.”
“I’m a comedian, I’m not a politician, but I’m a human being and I see things happening that just aren’t fair.”
“You guys live in a great city. It’s a shame to see it get destroyed, and that’s what’s happening. People are at each other’s throats and they’re mad at each other, and you don’t wear a mask and somebody wants to beat you up.”
“It’s almost like we’re losing all kind of individual rights, and it just sucks. It’s not about personal things, it’s about business things, about how a city is run.”
Whitney urges the people to elect someone who “actually thinks about all of Lincoln and not just the friends of the people that agree with the mayor on things that she wants to do.”
“If you don’t speak out, people will do anything they want to you unless people say something, so you gotta say something.”
What this country needs right now is little more blue-collar wisdom from Larry the Cable Guy.
From the Western Journal:
Although he was speaking about the situation in Lincoln, his objections make sense in any just about any Democrat-run state or locality.
In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing his own possible recall after issuing strict lockdown orders that have forced many businesses to move out of the state or to close permanently.
Making it worse, while he barred restaurants from serving patrons indoors, the governor himself dined at a tony Napa Valley establishment with a large group.
Meanwhile, Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer closed schools, canceled youth sports and banned indoor dining while business owners across the state shut their doors for good.
On the East Coast, over a quarter of New York and New Jersey small businesses have closed due to endless coronavirus restrictions in those states.
