This pleases me because I don't want foreign tourists to visit the U.S. if they won't respect our laws, rules, and regulations

I don't think international tourist who "won't respect our laws, rules, and regulations" would fit well or last long in MouseLand or MouseWorld.

That's been the long game for a while, IMHO.

Curious if this law would apply to verses in the Quran that some interpret as antisemetic, or if Farrakhan would get arrested up there for some of his speeches and comments.  Or does it just apply to Christians calling sins sins, like homosexuality?

"I don't know anything about that," says Donald J. Trump,

whenever he's trying to back away from some failed plan. Now, he "doesn't know anything about Indiana," because that trick didn't work.

Feh!

She read the new restrictions (fascist demands) of the government, said to me this morning that she will never, ever go to a country with those conditions.

OCC Fingers Big Banks That De-Banked ‘Controversial’ Businesses Like Gun Makers, Retailers

“It is unfortunate that the nation’s largest banks thought these harmful debanking policies were an appropriate use of their government-granted charter and market power. While many of these policies were undertaken in plain sight and even announced publicly, certain banks have continued to insist that they did not engage in debanking,” Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould said in a statement.

“Going forward, the OCC will hold banks accountable for these actions and ensure unlawful debanking does not continue,” Gould said.

The agency said its review remains ongoing and that it plans to hold the banks “accountable,” including potential referrals to the Justice Department.

Since banks have the means to fight in court, this could drag out for years.

I may be weird, but I suspect that crime is a greater tourism deterrent for major US cities like NYC, Chicago, the Land of LA, Baltimore, Philadelphia, ... . I know companies started yanking conventions out of SF due to crime and the Sacred Homeless a decade or more ago. The current advice (for about a decade!) for SF residents and visitors parking cars is to leave nothing visible in the seats or floor of cars, else a smash-and-grab thief will smash a window and steal the whatever.

I'm so old I remember Canuckians and Brits mocking the US for having a constitution that specifies key rights.

Thats nice.

Anyway...

Me? I'm sick of the attacks on men and masculinity by those that men and masculinity have benevolently made so comfortable, that they feel entitled to attack their own benefactors.

Show some gratitude.

Man, are you a glutton for punishment.

I don't look for gratitude from the Dim'Rats and DUmp'Rats living off of my [OUR] largess, not just because I don't expect it from these mouth breathers but because I despise being lied to. If these clowns thought to express gratitude for anything, they wouldn't mean it if they did say it.

Restrictions, you say? Be specific on what exactly is fascist.

Chicago Suburbs to Face Tighter Rules to Stop COVID-19: Pritzker

Gov. J.B. Pritzker imposed tighter restrictions designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus in suburban Chicago amid a sustained surge in COVID-19 cases that has shown no sign of slowing down.

The strict rules will take effect Wednesday in Regions 5, 7 and 8, which include Will, Kankakee, Kane and DuPage counties as well as the far southern tip of the state, Pritzker said Monday.

The coronavirus pandemic has continued to rage in those parts of the state during the past two weeks, when Pritzker imposed the first level of restrictions, which included a ban on indoor dining.

“The virus is winning the war,” Pritzker said.

Pritzker blamed the worsening state of the pandemic on residents who are not wearing masks, washing their hands and keeping 6 feet of distance from those who are not members of their households.

The governor also called on local officials to enforce the rules — calling it “good politics” while acknowledging that it would incense a vocal minority.

Not in the mood to look up the draconian arbitrary rules further by the deep Blue Democrat states during the height of the Chinese Wuhan Red Death, but I think y'all get my point.

I would say the DUmmies see this move as "safety"
