With hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars being funneled overseas, secret commercial flights ferrying illegal immigrants to swanky hotels across the country, and gender medicine and critical race theory assaulting our kids, it\u2019s understandable that Congress has its attention elsewhere. But Republicans\u2019 long memory for totalitarianism is much more visible on the local level, and it was on full display in a recent local election in my neck of the woods, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetexan.news\/elections\/2024\/hagenbuch-yarbrough-headed-to-runoff-in-texas-senate-district-30-republican-primary\/article_9b947da2-db7a-11ee-8ff9-eb39e5fd661c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas Senate District 30<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our district is a rural North Texas stronghold, comprising cities such as Wichita Falls and Denton, and dominated by an energetic Republican grassroots. Well over a million dollars went into the primary, which featured four candidates. The two winners, <a href=\"https:\/\/jacefortexas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jace Yarbrough<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagenbuchtx.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brent Hagenbuch<\/a>, are headed to a runoff election that will take place May 28.<\/p>\n<p>But the two winners of the primary were not the most interesting takeaway. Much more notable is the main contender, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carriedemoor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Carrie de Moor<\/a>, who lost, coming in over 16 points behind both winners despite ample funding and a whole slew of big-name endorsements. In her own words, she ran on behalf of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/200337544@N05\/53626803257\/\">\u201cHouse of Medicine\u201d<\/a> \u2014 her terminology for Big Health Care and Big Pharma \u2014 and spent the primary attacking the others for their stance on Covid. All the while not once denying any role she had in perpetuating the pandemic. <\/p>\n<p>According to de Moor\u2019s own social media posts, if you didn\u2019t follow the narrative you were <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pGGdbT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">too stupid to be fixed but you could be sedated<\/a>. Masks were promoted as a <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pGwqiF\">fashion statement<\/a>, and vaccines were pushed for <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pGvwPn\">adults<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pGwpwF\">children<\/a> alike. The end of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcdfw.com\/news\/health\/north-texas-medical-providers-prepare-for-end-of-covid-19-reimbursement-programs\/2918880\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">government payments<\/a> for the vaccines was also a disappointment since they couldn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2pGGAzf\">mandate<\/a> them if they didn\u2019t pay for them.

For me, Covid meant leaving behind everything I had ever known by moving halfway across the country. Leaving my job to never again wait in line to enter a grocery store. Leaving my hometown to never again hear about my children being bullied for pulling down their masks in school. Leaving my parents to never again hear my child scream, \u201cMommy, no!\u201d as she was forcibly swabbed to be able to receive a necessary medical treatment. <\/p>\n<p>But distance didn\u2019t equal safety. Three months after settling in my new home in Senate District 30 the vaccine mandates were issued, and I lived in fear of losing my job until my religious exemption was finally approved. The vivid memories of this time are haunting and can never be erased.<\/p>\n<p>So let us not pretend our trials during Covid are suddenly a non-issue. The petty tyrants in our government, our hospitals, our schools, our corporations \u2014 they are still occupying positions of power, biding their time for the next \u201cemergency\u201d that will help them manipulate Americans into giving up our rights. This concern gets straight to the heart of what government is for and how much power we allow elected or appointed officials and unelected bureaucrats to have over our lives, our families, and our communities. Let us always reject tyrants.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not fighting a faceless entity like the \u201cHouse of Medicine\u201d or even a single scapegoat like Anthony Fauci or Deborah Birx. Those of us who faced denigration and ultimatums from small-time medical despots remember their names and faces. Do they really think they can just creep back into power? Much less by running as conservatives in a Republican primary?<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-ee5c400748a998fdff656fc381b0a788 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-ee5c400748a998fdff656fc381b0a788\"><\/div>\n<p>If Covid collaborators can simply blend back in with society, they will bide their time until the next opportunity for tyranny. The \u201cHouse of Medicine\u201d candidate in this hard-fought election pushed and profited from every aspect of the pandemic fraud: shutdowns, masks, arbitrary containment measures, vaccines. She tried to hush up her record and hide it away in this primary, but the evidence of every public statement and social media post never went away. Once Republican voters saw her record, we started having 2020 flashbacks and voted accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>This can be a conservative battle plan. If someone \u2014 whether a politician, pastor, board chair, or any decision-making position \u2014 wants to be in leadership and touts their qualifications or their principles, we must hold them to the same standard: \u201cWhat did you do in our time of crisis?\u201d If a would-be leader spent 2020 and beyond pushing CDC and CCP propaganda, hypochondriac alarmism, and Pfizer money-making schemes, they don\u2019t deserve to be followed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s heartening to see that though four years have passed, Americans haven\u2019t forgotten. Let\u2019s keep that memory alive and remain vigilant against tyrants, both powerful and petty.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-bf118ac903a7aeca05640a63cf795c71 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-bf118ac903a7aeca05640a63cf795c71\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Covid-19 pandemic fades into the past, some believe it&#8217;s time for a &#8220;pandemic amnesty&#8221; for those involved in limiting American freedom.
