You had me thinking of the Whisky rebellion at first, but that happened during Washington’s Presidency, and wouldn’t be 255 years old.

I hope this portends that Trump carries PA again.

When I scanned the headline quickly I thought it said: Rebellion against PA Governor Wolf's tranny grows in Pennsylvania ... which is funny as hell because it would actually be MORE accurate than the real headline. LOL.

GO Franklin County! When will York County “leaders” get some backbone? But Exalted Ruler Tom Wolf is a York Countian, and probably has them buffaloed. Long time ago, used to hunt whitetails in Franklin County, in the Tuskarorah State Forest out beyond McConnelsburg. Big fat deer, fed off the area farms.

When will York County “leaders” get some backbone?

York County District Attorney Dave Sunday released a letter on Friday stating that his office "will not prosecute any criminal citations for alleged violation of the [Governor and Secretary’s] orders and regulations...concerning the operation of non-life sustaining business”.

He has further directed law enforcement not to issue any citiation.

For the benefit of those who don't know Pennsylvania's political geography:

Franklin County is on the Maryland border--the farthest west of all the counties in the big red zone.

With the addition of Franklin the rebel alliance will be eight strong: Adams, Beaver, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lebanon, Perry, and York are the others.

I'm in Washington Co., a couple counties west.

I consider myself fairly well read in local history but don't remember this.

More power to those rebelling against Tommie the Commie and his freal Sec. of Health.

Richard...er...I mean Rachel is in charge of the Wuhan Flu response but can't figure out which bathroom to use.

Doesn't inspire confidence.

“Richard...er...I mean Rachel is in charge of the Wuhan Flu response but can’t figure out which bathroom to use.”

IrishBrigade posted this tribute a couple of weeks ago:

while a young kid Richie could then see
his dickie would cause him great frenzy
so he took a huge axe
gave his penis some whacks
and became a grim bigwig in Pennsy.

He's a poet

But he don't know it

But his feet sure do show it

'Cause they're Longfellows!

The article explains it. During the period of 1765-1769, Franklin County settlers took part in the first armed resistance to British rule, known as the “Black Boys Rebellion”. It was the topic of a 1939 movie called “Allegheny Uprising” starring John Wayne and Claire Trevor.
