Maybe yours, but most saw that govt cops were willing to do whatever politicians and bureaucrats ordered them to do during unlawful covid lockdowns.
Typically they enforce whatever they're told and the overwhelming majority aren't willing to let your freedoms get in the way of their paycheck and benefits.

55 mph speed limits, freeze in winter, sweat in summer, travel at night: it's all there. These people love telling us what to do and this is a chance too good too miss.

The ghost of Jimmy Carter has come back to haunt us. Those of you who weren't around in the 70's, you're getting a living history lesson.

The administration is already embracing the most odious regimes in the world to get us oil. Now it it telling us to change ourselves, eagerly inserting itself in our daily lives.

All because it won't get oil from the cheapest, most reliable, environmentally friendliest place in the world: America.
So it wasn't the Energy Department it was the International Energy Agency......

Not the same thing.

Should some political body, bureaucracy, advisory board or committee, foreign or national, dictate the travel habits of US citizens?

Our sheriff would not enforce it. He has already said he could not enforce any new gun laws because he swore to uphold the Constitution.

Hang on --- is it a political body, bureaucracy.
It's a random international group with no affiliation to any political party.

You can't all of a sudden make it into some kind of political agency because you didn't read the article and didn't notice it has nothing to do with the USA, the administration the White House or the Democrat party.

Right -- your sheriff won't and can't enforce a policy recommended by an international agency and that has nothing to do with the USA govt.

That makes sense.

Thx for the correction...the IEA is even further alt-left than the DOE, so double triple cancel them too.

I bet the sheriff enforces drug laws though? LOL What hypocrite, he is doing nothing but picking and choosing what he wants to enforce, based on his PERSONAL opinions. What a joke.
