| Tennessee Govenor EXEC Order Authorizes Natl Guard, Quarantines, Involuntary Commitment for ‘Certain Healthcare' Operations |
| 2021-08-09 |
| [Ted Starnes] There is growing concern among Tennesseans after Gov. Bill Lee quietly issued an Executive Order on Friday giving the state permission to call up the National Guard and State Guard “in connection with certain health care and emergency services operations.” Tennessee Stands, an influential statewide conservative coalition, said they found some of the governor’s orders “exceptionally concerning.” One section of Executive Order 83 would permit the construction of “temporary quarantine and isolation facilities.” “Telephone assessments for involuntary commitment cases are permitted,” the executive order also states.

| #9 Let's all hope and pray it doesn't come to that, but Bobby Lee turned down command of the entire Union Army for much the same reason. |

| #8 Yeah, if he thinks the Tenn Guards is going to be rounding up and sticking their families in camps, cause he said so, he's got a sad day coming. The western part of the state is one thing, but Appalachia is another. |

| #6 ...The 'betters' have no understanding how it all works. No one is old enough to grasp that Central Planning didn't work and Adam Smith's invisible hand of the marketplace is superior. The system is so complex and intertwined that decrees and orders cause the entire system to implode. |

| #3 Why that last bulk ammo purchase you made is beginning to make perfect sense. |

| #2 This event is a crossing of the Rubicon moment. We're generally a live and let live bunch ...until you threaten our family and try to force us to leave our homes. Are they prepared for a certain amount of losses when the stormtroopers try and round us up? |
