    Radio personality David Harris Jr.'s site offers up a totally unsurprising example of government versus little people, taken from a Breitbart item on the same topic (link in this story).

    D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s (D) most recent mask mandate, which orders three-year-olds to cover their faces, exempts lawmakers and government employees while they are “on duty.”

    Bowser issued the order Wednesday, mandating everyone over the age of two wear a mask in both indoor and outdoor settings.

    While masking mandates across the nation, and in D.C., typically contain several exceptions — exempting the disabled, those who are actively eating, drinking, and people who are “vigorously” exercising — a closer look at Bowser’s executive action shows that the order does not apply to lawmakers, judges, or government employees while they are “on duty.”

    No surprise here, in the land of the free and home of the brave.

    Mask mandates demonstrate again how the rule of law is dead in this country, and this case is a perfect example.

    Such silliness encourages civil disobedience. Unrespectable laws will get no respect.

    She must believe the virus is a hoax. Clearly, she's making it conditional by not being a part of the political elite. So, is she just providing cover to the President who doesn't wear a mask? So many questions....

    Doc, Bowser's a Democrat. Doubtful she'd run cover for Trump unless it was on his way to Air Force One and the big Nixon "V" before abdication.
