Celebrating One Year Of Rebellion Against Dr. Fauci And The Government’s Arbitrary Tyranny
We've watched as Americans across the country have surrendered their freedoms and informed on their neighbors in exchange for delusions of security. But here in this house, we won't surrender.

“It’s eerie outside,†a friend said over the phone in March 2020, a few days after national lockdowns began. “It feels like an occupied city; like World War II movies about Paris.â€
Just a little over a week before, I’d been with him and two neighbors in Baltimore. Our friends had been comparing notes on what to do with stocks, how to buy ammunition, and where to acquire deep freezers for weeks now, but while the world was closing in, a small group of us toasted a final afternoon in a nearby city.
We visited the Sagamore Spirits Distillery, where over delicious pours, staff and customers discussed word of impending closures. Rumors swirled of imminent travel bans, and tourism had slowed to a trickle while friends and family on the road exchanged updates and hustled home to avoid getting stranded. In Baltimore that Saturday, March 7, 2020, hotel rooms were cheap, upgrades for frequent travelers were easy, and Peter’s Pour House was still serving tall shots and the local lager in frosted mugs.

The move, she insisted, was “largely… an administrative action.†It would, she claimed, simply give her “more authority to implement and fund the measures that we need to monitor and respond to COVID-19 in our community.â€
By the following Monday, March 16, she’d used her newfound authority to force what she deemed “non-essential services†to close.
