South Dakota governor Kristy Noem is a role model for true leadership.

While governors and mayors across the country allowed journalists to bully them into taking away their constituents’ rights and destroying their states’ economy and future, one brave governor remained cool-headed and steadfast. She made strong recommendations, but did not order shutdowns, violate citizens’ civil liberties or send law enforcement after people for living their lives.

The media tried to destroy her. They predicted South Dakota would end up needing over 10,000 beds for Wuhan-Coronavirus patients. That never happened. Predictions are now that the state will need a total of 127 beds at the peak in about a month and South Dakota is now in better shape than most of the U.S.

Politicians everywhere should try to learn from Governor Noem’s example.

Federal judge orders Sanders & other candidates be restored on New York ballots, says primary must proceed in June https://www.rt.com/usa/487866-sanders-new-york-primary-reinstated/

The Asian Flu of 1957 killed over 110,000 Americans when we had less than half of today’s population. But life continued. Nothing was shut down, the media did not hype the fear (instead the virus was occasionally mentioned as a medical issue, combined with calls for good hygiene and staying calm) and governors and mayors did not wreck the economy to hurt Ike.

Maybe we can learn some lessons from our ancestors’ composure.

Michigan Congressman Sues Governor Whitmer Over Emergency Orders, Claiming Violation of Constitutional Rights.

Whitmer has banned people from visiting friends and most relatives, traveling across state lines, seeking medical attention Whitmer does not deem essential, or buying seeds or soil to grow a garden, despite looming food shortages.

She had previously also restricted the prescription of Hydroxychloroquine. However, one of her State Representatives stated publicly, that Hydroxychloroquine saved her life, and that without President Trump publicly discussing the drug, she would never have found out about it.

Despite the curve having successfully flattened and an overrun of hospitals no longer being a concern, Whitmer just extended her draconian shutdown-order. A Michigan Congressman is now suing her.

Some people eagerly reported their neighbors to authorities for trying to survive or exercising their basic civil liberties during the excessive lockdowns. In many cases, this lead to people’s lives getting ruined. Now, some fear the backclash.

As governors and mayors continue to extend shutdown orders, despite the ominous “curve” having long been “flattened” and the initial fearmongering about Covid-19 having been utterly debunked, resistance against these arbitrary measures is growing across the country. Countless businesses are facing bankruptcy as their bills continue to come in, while they are not allowed to earn any revenue and government help does not address their problem (and in many cases still hasn’t been paid out).

Facing the irreversible destruction of everything they built up throughout their lives, many businesses are deciding to defy the arbitrary orders of the ruling mayors and governors and are simply reopening.

Some governors are threatening harsh responses and are using various means of power to crack down on small business owners, but President Trump is showing support for entrepreneurs and citizens and is urging governors to be reasonable.
