Demonstrators in Boston Flock to State House in Protest of Governor’s Orders
2:49
Protesters on Monday flocked to the Massachusetts State House in Boston, calling on Gov. Charlie Baker (R) to reopen the state’s economy.
Photos and videos show protesters taking to the streets in Boston for the “Liberty Rally,” holding signs reading “End shutdown” and “Tyranny is not leadership,” according to WCVB:

“Americans are suffering due to the unprecedented economic shutdown imposed by the government as a response to COVID-19,” the rally’s website reads.
It continues:
The politicians, bureaucrats, and media remain gainfully employed while they callously dismiss concerns about the impact their decisions have upon our jobs, wages, and well-being. Massachusetts is the cradle of liberty where America’s revolt against tyrannical government began. America’s mighty economic engine is ready to deliver solutions but none of this can happen while we are ordered to stay home. We are calling upon the citizens of our state to come out in force on May 4th to demand that the Governor and his minions let the people get back to work. It’s time to re-open Massachusetts and restore liberty.
Baker announced last week the extension of the state’s stay-at-home order, effectively prohibiting the opening of businesses deemed nonessential through May 18. He has said that the decision is based on guidance from experts.
He said:
We do believe and buy into the guidance that we’ve gotten from experts in the field that you need to see downward trends in a number of key indices associated with this virus for some period of time before you can actually reopen, and that’s the reason why we created the reopening task force, and it’s why we’ve spent so much time working with our colleagues in the health care community to develop a set of indices that we report on every single day. And as I said in my remarks, you know, after a really long time of not seeing much positive traction at all with regard to those measures, in the course of the past few days, we’ve actually started to see some positive downward trends.
Baker added that his Reopening Advisory Board is speaking with industry leaders and experts and will issue guidance by May 18 on reopening the state.
“The only sectors of the economy that can implement the appropriate health guidance will be opening in the first phase,” Baker said. “There won’t be anyone firing a starting gun on May 18.”
The news follows the governor’s decision to sign an order requiring residents to wear a face covering in public places like grocery stores, retail stores, and pharmacies. The order goes into effect on Wednesday.
The Bay State had 69,087 confirmed cases of the virus as of Monday evening, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
In a state like Florida, where immigrants make up about 25.4 percent of the labor force, American workers have their weekly wages reduced by about 12.5 percent. In California, where immigrants make up 34 percent of the labor force, American workers’ weekly wages are reduced by potentially 17 percent.
While Dr. Fauci and
Pelosi is a ghastly creature. She and her ilk – Feinstein, Boxer, Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom – have effectively destroyed California and they did it on purpose. They strive to import as many illegal migrants as possible; they've created and fostered the homelessness and let it fester. California is now a socialist disaster and the further destruction of the economy is just what they've wanted. PATRICIA McCARTHY
The Real Resistance Rises
The Real Resistance Rises
As California’s reactionary Governor cracks down.
Last Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom told reporters he was “weeks not months” from any “modification” of his lockdown order, and the California Highway Patrol was barring any protest at the state Capitol. On Thursday, Newsom shut down state beaches and parks, and on Friday May 1, Californians hit the streets by the thousands, blocking a mile of Pacific Coast Highway down in Orange County, and as Fox News reported, staging protests in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
In the state capital of Sacramento, as Katy Grimes of the California Globe noted, “Thousands of flag-waving Californians descended upon the State Capitol Friday for a protest of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s statewide stay-at-home lockdown order, which has caused millions of residents to lose their jobs and businesses.”
The protesters, organized by “Re-Open California,” were not pleading for handouts from the government. For the most part, they were working people who wanted to get their jobs and lives back.
“Reach out to the government and make their concerns, worries, fears, anger, frustration known,” protester Erik Leisten told KCRA News. “Exercise their freedom of speech and right to peacefully assemble and let him know that he’s destroying the state economically, but more importantly our freedoms.”
California Highway Patrol officers in full riot gear formed a line and pushed people off the Capitol grounds. Police arrested 32 demonstrators for disobeying a lawful order, demonstrating without a permit and resisting or delaying a police officer. As Katy Grimes recalled, “police were far less aggressive and few arrests were ever made at Black Lives Matter rallies, which were destructive and violent.”
After the police shooting of Stephon Clark in March of 2018, Black Lives Matter disrupted a Sacramento City Council meeting, blocked fans from entering a Sacramento Kings game, and shut down traffic in both directions on Interstate 5, California’s major north-south artery. A racist mob essentially took over downtown Sacramento, terrorized innocent citizens, and violated laws, but as KCRA reported, police made “no arrests,” during the protest.
By contrast when embattled workers show up at the state Capitol on May 1 to protest their losses, police make 32 arrests. With Gavin Newsom in office, that should come as no surprise.
Last June, Newsom told Politico that Republicans were destined for the “waste bin of history.” So Gov. Newsom is not likely to find their job losses, bankruptcies, foreclosures and such a matter of great concern. Indeed, the progressive governor, a former mayor of San Francisco, could see the current miserable conditions as a fulfillment of his prophecy.
During the 2018 campaign Newsom failed to tour the far reaches of the state, and shortly after election as governor he travelled to El Salvador. The governor supports sanctuary laws that protect Central American and Mexican illegals, even the violent criminals among them. When false-documented illegals get driver’s licenses, the state DMV automatically registers them to vote. This imported electorate gives Newsom more reason to disregard legitimate citizens who vote in ways Democrats might not like.
Gov. Newsom vetoes more than $2 million for a new courthouse in El Dorado County, yet he budgets nearly $100 million to pay the health care of foreign nationals illegally present in the United States, with zero compensation from the illegals’ own countries. During the pandemic, Newsom wants $125 million for illegals’ health care, with $75 million coming from American taxpayers. The governor is also active on the job front, but not for American workers.
With the state economy in freefall, Newsom struck a $1 billion deal with the Chinese company BYD for more than 200 million masks, in a state of 40 million people. Newsom hid details of the deal, even from fellow Democrats who gave him extraordinary powers during the pandemic. Long before the coronavirus showed up from China, state Democrats were making it hard for California workers to earn a living.
Last year, Gov. Newsom signed California Assembly Bill 5, a virtual declaration of war against independent contractors, including those in the medical field. AB-5 is the first measure openly to oppose the professions Californians choose for themselves, the first measure to deny Californians their rights of free association, and the first measure to limit workers’ ability to earn a living. Newsom has refused to suspend the measure, even as the pandemic punishes the workers.
Gov. Newsom openly violates federal immigration law but puts the state Capitol off-limits to American workers who only want their jobs and lives back. When more than 1,000 peaceful protesters show up, his black-clad staatspolizei arrest them by the dozens. Even so, they will keep taking it to the streets, all across the Golden State.
Californians boast a long tradition of public protest, with a sound track laid down in the sixties. They have been crushed by the tumbling tide, as the Chambers Brothers put it, so the time has come today, and “there are things to realize.” Once again, as the Buffalo Springfield said, there’s a thousand people in the street, singing songs and carrying signs.
In a state like Florida, where immigrants make up about 25.4 percent of the labor force, American workers have their weekly wages reduced by about 12.5 percent. In California, where immigrants make up 34 percent of the labor force, American workers’ weekly wages are reduced by potentially 17 percent.
The Internal Battle for America
America! “I want you to get up right now and go to the window...open it and stick your head out and yell, “I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!” That is from the 1976 movie, Network. It is the appropriate response to totalitarian governors, hellbent on keeping their constituents in lock-down bondage to further their anti-Trump agenda.
Folks, I am sick of seeing Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx promise that if we are good, they will feed us teaspoons of our constitutional freedoms at their discretion. I am sick of TV commercials designed to frighten and shame us into obeying tyrannical governors. I am sick of TV images of exhausted health workers to sell the lie that hospitals are overwhelmed with coronavirus patients. I am sick of well-meaning people ending conversations with “Stay safe” as if a unique monster is lurking outside. I am sick of pundits saying we need to reopen America safely and responsibly as if going back to normal life is unthinkable and dangerous. Dr. Ben Carson announced that 98% of people who get coronavirus recover.
Despite all our social distancing, research shows far more people were infected than officially confirmed. This means coronavirus is no way near as lethal as we were told. Health experts say herd immunity is the best way to fight the virus. And yet, stating this scientific truth will get you branded a dangerous nutcase by the media. God designed us to deal with viruses. As usual, arrogant men (typically leftist) believe they know better than God. Meanwhile, doctors are ordered to lie about the numbers by labeling practically all deaths coronavirus. This will keep federal funding coming and Americans panicked.
Evidence confirms that the coronavirus lockdown is a political weapon for Democrats to defeat Trump in November. Fear of this flu virus also gifts them an opportunity to behave like totalitarians, freely implementing their communist agenda.
To end this insane lockdown which is crushing lives and our economy we must push back with protests, protests, and more protests.
That sound of roaring thunder you hear is the resurgence of the Tea Party. Facebook boldly announced that they will shut down pages which promote protests against the lockdown. We beat fake news media in the past and we will beat them again. Despite a media blackout in 2010, the Tea Party drew 1.7 million Americans to Washington D.C. to oppose ObamaCare. We have the power of right on our side and we will not be defeated.
While Dr. Fauci and
Dr. Birx enjoy their
comfortable elitist
lifestyles, I hear
horrific tales of
Americans afraid and
suffering; dying not
from the virus, but the
related stress. Corona-madness has caused
suicides to skyrocket. A Maryland friend said 20 cars were broken into in her middle-class neighborhood. People are becoming desperate. The irresponsible promotion of fear has neighbors feuding; mask wearers vs non mask wearers. Neighbors are ratting on those who do not obey social distancing. Are we all experiencing an episode of the “Twilight Zone” in which Nazi tyrants have taken over our country?
The American people are good, decent, and fair-minded. They consented to sheltering-in-place because we were told two million Americans would die if we did not. Now that health experts and researchers have ripped the mask off the fake news-media-created coronavirus crisis, Americans are demanding their constitutional freedoms back. They want to return to their normal lives. Their desire is neither stupid, irresponsible, or crazy.
As we rebel against this strategic, evil lockdown, please keep our president in your prayers. His heart's desire is to reopen America asap. Democrats and fake news media behaviorally say, “Screw the American people!” We will demand that the country remain locked down to election day. We will say everything Trump does regarding coronavirus is wrong, crazy, incompetent, and deadly. Democrat and fake news media are pure evil domestic terrorists.
Coronavirus has given Democrats a taste of unbridled power. They ain't gonna give that up. This is why We the People must unite and engage in a nationwide revolt. We must take back our country!
Democrats and fake news media routinely launch a false narrative and bully us into surrendering to it. Their latest unscientifically proven narrative says social distancing is the responsible way to deal with coronavirus. Health experts and scientists who dare to disagree are severely bludgeoned 24/7; bloodied by TV talking heads and social and legacy media. Then, they are dragged into the high-tech public square to be humiliated and seared with a hot branding iron, marked for life as stupid, a hater, and dangerous. We have repeatedly seen them implement this brutal tactic.
To shame us into not protesting their lockdown, Democrats and fake news media say we are racist wackos who reject science. Can you say pot calling the kettle black, boys and girls? Democrats and fake news media viciously demand that we reject science.
For example: Science says “sex change” is biologically impossible. Stating this scientific fact will get you crucified by Democrats and fake news media. Scientists whose research contradict Democrats and fake news medias' narrative of man-made climate change are threatened with jail time.
Democrats can hardly contain their joy over the power coronavirus has given them to finally implement Obama's failed “transformation of America” into a socialist/communist country. It is our sacred and patriotic duty to forcibly push the break peddle; fight to defend our Constitution and make America great again. In the words of our 9/11 hero, Todd Beamer, “Let's roll!”
