The Department of Health of the Pennsylvania Soviet Socialist Republic has issued yet another draconian decree:
▪️ Strengthening masking order. Masks are still required. Indoors: masks now required anytime you’re with people outside of your household, even if you’re socially distant. Applies to all indoor facilities + if you have people in your home not part of your household

Did you catch that. Secretary of Health Dr Richard Levine[1]Dr Levine is a male who is so delusional that he thinks he is female, and goes by the name ‘Rachel.’ In its continuing mission to normalize transgenderism, the credentialed media always … Continue reading is ordering Pennsylvanians that they must wear face masks in their own homes if anyone who does not live there enters the residence.
One has to ask: just how do Governor Tom Wolf (D-PA) and Secretary Levine plan to enforce this order? Will the Philadelphia Police knock on row house doors if an officer spots an unfamiliar vehicle parked out front, just to make certain everyone inside is masked up? Will the police in Harrisburg conduct random checks, especially on Thanksgiving day, ready to confiscate drumsticks and arrest the entire family?
Pennsylvania has made violation of Dr Levine’s orders a criminal offense:
Note: a criminal trial is not required, but a “summary proceeding” is sufficient to fine you or lock you up!Administrative Code of 1929, 71 P. S. § 1409, states that:
Every person who violates any order or regulation of the Department of Health, or who resists or interferes with any officer or agent thereof in the performance of his duties in accordance with the regulations and orders of the Department of Health, shall, upon conviction thereof in a summary proceeding before a justice of the peace, alderman, or magistrate of the county wherein such violation or offense is committed, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than ten ($10.00) dollars and costs nor more than fifty ($50.00) dollars and costs, such fine to be paid to the county in which the violation or offense is committed. In default of payment of such fine and costs the offender shall be sentenced to be confined in the proper county jail for a period of thirty days.
The Pennsylvania Disease Prevention and Control Law of 1955 35 P.S. § 521.20(a):
Any person who violates any of the provisions of this act or any regulation shall, for each offense, upon conviction thereof in a summary proceeding before any magistrate, alderman or justice of the peace in the county wherein the offense was committed, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25) and not more than three hundred dollars ($300), together with costs, and in default of payment of the fine and costs, to be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days.
27 Pa. Code § 27.8(a):
A person who violates any provision of the [Disease Prevention and Control Act of 1955] shall, for each offense, upon conviction thereof in a summary proceeding before a district justice in the county wherein the offense was committed, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $25 and not more than $300, together with costs, and in default of payment of the fine and costs, shall be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not to exceed 30 days.
Will the Secretary send you to Lubyanka prison? A summary proceeding, meaning that there is no trial by jury, and you can be locked up for up to a month? Not just no, but Hell no!
I no longer live in the Keystone State. Were I subject to Pennsylvania state laws, I would be in violation, this weekend as my daughter will be visiting the farm from her house in Lexington, and again on Thanksgiving day, when we will be having dinner at her house. We will not be in violation of Kentucky’s indoor gatherings restrictions, in that there will be only two households present and fewer than eight people there, and the mandatory mask order does not apply in individual homes. I’d like to say that I’d be in violation of it, but I won’t.
