Denver, CO – Governor Jared Polis pounded on his podium and demanded you wear a homemade cloth mask anytime you leave your home for “essential” activities.
It was somewhat comical, with Polis attempting to make his demand “fun” with jokes and a demonstration. We aren’t laughing.
It is unclear if Polis’ latest demand is enforceable or not. Polis even promoted using the likely Chinese spy application Tik Tok to show off your new face mask.
Now, if you want to wear a mask, go for it! However, Polis’ theatrical demands are becoming a little too oppressive. Well, they were already too oppressive.
Our concern is that like the draconian “Stay at Home” order, this will eventually become the rule of law. One city in Texas already has up to a $1,000 fine for not wearing a mask in certain locations.
During the press conference, Polis also announced that Coloradans should expect an extension of his draconian “Stay at Home” order past April 11, 2020.
So, let’s sum things up. Colorado’s economy is still in deep trouble, and Polis is still telling you how to live your life.
We are not telling you to spread any sickness you might have around to others. Be safe, stay home when you can, and do not incur unnecessary fines on yourself just to prove a point.
However, we do want our readers to recognize the gravity of the demands and orders being given under the Polis regime. He has assumed an unprecedented amount of government control since the COVID-19 crisis began. He is putting people out of work, and businesses are being forced to shut down permanently.
It will be a long road to economic recovery.
Watch Polis demand that you wear masks below – or don’t.

The Govenor did not “demand” people wear masks. He advised them to wear them. #knowthefacts
I might consider the demand if Polis agrees to wear a gag the rest of his term.
Zinger. Every government official can do us all a favor, and stay at home forever.
Kaiser Permanent 2 weeks ago; If you wear a mask you will be fired. Kaiser Permanente last week; Wear a mask or be fired. The old switcheroo I suppose.
You can bet your bottom dollar we will not be accepting any sort of mandatory vaccinations.
Nice answer
a masked bandit out to rob every one, burn our Constitution, especially our Bill of Rights, nero want the state to burn, wonder if this comment pass muster, before being deleted
WHO, controlled by China. First CDC; No mask necessary. Then CDC; Mask necessary.
Anyone even bothering to take these people seriously should be committed.
The CDC’s only job is to prevent this sort of thing. They should be disbanded and we’re better off without them.
Perhaps 70 additional vaccinations before the age of 6 years old might solve this in the future…
Which state is not trying to restrict liberties of American citizens?
