As people in my state (MI) grow increasingly restless while being fed misinformation I have found it useful to get them to reflect on the difference between conservative and liberal responses to mandates.

Conservative: Leave me the hell alone and let me make my own decisions.

Liberal: I don't like something so everyone else has to change their lives to reflect my opinion.

This is probably obvious to most of us, but living in a blue area, we have to start with our acquaintances somewhere and somehow. Keep fighting the good fight pedes, truth shall overcome.

I've seen the memes, and have appreciated them all, but what are the actual Ohio rules that go into effect at 10?

We're waiting in line right now but a lot of folks sporting the American flag (and we all know what that indicates) Atmosphere is a mixture of steely resolve and open excitement for protecting our country.

But this is no excuse VOTE LIKE WE ARE DOWN! God Bless you all

Because if it really was I'd believe that the Michigan governor wouldn't be banning the prescription of HCQ....

I hate her, Michigan pedes please (safely) start talking to your neighbors about her awfulness. Then let's dump Peters and get James in the Senate.

Despite soooooo much of their stock coming from China, they're doing something pretty sweet here. Email from owner/founder:

Help Us Help Your Hospital

Dear Harbor Freight Community,

As we’ve been following the news over the last few days, we’ve heard about the severe shortage of protective gear for hospitals, healthcare workers and first responders as the impact of COVID-19 is being felt across the country. America depends on these heroes every day and in the days ahead we will depend on them even more. At Harbor Freight, we want them to know that they can depend on us too.

So we’ve decided to donate our entire supply of the personal protective equipment items listed below to front line hospitals with 24 hour emergency rooms in the communities served by our stores.

           •  N95 Masks            •  Face Shields            •  5 and 7 mil Nitrile Gloves

If you work at a hospital with a 24 hour emergency room in need of these items, please ask the office in charge of procurement at your hospital to click here so they can provide us with the information we’ll need to determine if we can make a donation. If you’re not with a hospital, but would like to give us the name of a hospital with a 24 hour emergency room in your community that might need our help, please email us at [email protected], identify the hospital’s city and state in the subject line, and our team will follow-up.

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE REQUESTS AT YOUR LOCAL STORE OR OUR CALL CENTER AND PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT HOSPITALS—THEY’RE BUSY HELPING THEIR PATIENTS. 

For hospitals we’re able to help, we’ll email them a voucher when the supplies are available for pick up at their local Harbor Freight Tools store.

Although we certainly won’t have enough of these supplies to fill everyone’s needs, we’re going to donate everything we’ve got. We also recognize that there are so many other critically important people responding to this crisis and that there is need everywhere. We’ve chosen to focus our efforts on hospitals with a 24 hour emergency room with the hope that we can help as many people as possible right now.  

Thank you and God Bless,

Eric Smidt  Owner and Founder Harbor Freight Tool
