A Tennessee hotel posted a sign that went out of its way to degrade patrons who, for whatever reason, would prefer not to wear a face mask. The location of the Moxy Hotel is currently not under a mask mandate, which means the private business itself is the only enforcer of such requirements for entry or patronage.
This is fine; as conservatives, we support the rights of private businesses to make whatever reasonable rules they want that are within the boundaries of the law. If a business wants to require masks for entry even if government removes such mandates, so be it. However, we do take exception to the way in which this particular business decided to announce their restrictions. The sign wasn’t just stating a policy. It was intended to insult those who would oppose their requirement.
- “Yes, masks are still required!”
- “…but the county mandate has expired.*WE DON’T CARE *
- “…but I’ve already had COVID” *WE DON’T CARE*
- “…but Rona is a hoax” *WE DON’T CARE*
- “…but I’m vaccinated” *WE DON’T CARE*
- IF YOU’RE NOT CONSUMING, YOU’RE MASKING!
One insult in particular, “…but Rona is a hoax,” is a clear embodiment of contempt for those who are skeptical of the narrative surrounding Covid-19. The science backs up this skepticism, of course, as the recovery rate for those infected is higher than the recovery rate for the flu for those under the age of 30. Even those between 30-60 have high recovery rates. It isn’t until the higher age groups that the disease seems to have a significant enough toll to warrant such mass hysteria.

According to BizPacReview:
A sign posted by chic Chattanooga, Tenn. hotel, Moxy, is drawing viral negative reactions online for appearing to demand that all guests wear masks at all times unless they are eating and drinking, no questions asked, and no exceptions – even for people who are vaccinated and despite the expiration of a county mask mandate.
A photo of the sign was posted on Twitter by DC Patriot contributor Matt Couch, who wrote: “Guess who shouldn’t get your business…. Get Woke Go Broke Geniuses like this.”
The hotel bills itself one that is “stylishly chic…that focuses on the less, while offering so much more,” according to an online description. It also appears to cater to younger crowds.
“Made for the young and young at heart, our check-in experience is one of a kind,” the description says. But it was the intolerant tone of the sign that drew the ire of social media users.

“If your service is great, “I don’t care”
If your price is cheaper, “I don’t care”
If the location is good, “I don’t care”
You force me to wear a mask, you won’t get my money!” – John Bryant

The Moxy Hotel didn’t just post a policy. They proudly displayed it as an unambiguous insult against those who have concerns about face masks or who are relieved by the lifted face mask mandates in the area. They don’t deserve our business.
YouTube, Spotify, and other Big Tech platforms are taking Freedom First Network down
It’s no secret we speak our minds and bring on guests who do the same. That’s one of the biggest reasons we put together the Freedom First Network in the first place. There are far too many news outlets, including so-called “conservative” media companies, who are so beholden to Big Tech that they temper their perspectives at best and outright coverup the truth at worst. Many, as you all know, will blatantly lie in order to maintain the narrative that supports the radical agenda taking over much of the United States.
We have had our YouTube channel taken down. Many of our shows have been suppressed or removed by Facebook and Twitter. Spotify banned one of our shows completely from their platform. Google hates us. We’ve even been censored by some of the smaller players like Medium, Transistor, and Captivate. But we stand behind our reporting and perspectives and we refuse to bow down to Big Tech tyranny for the sake of pageviews or video plays.
This isn’t the easiest road to travel, especially for a media company that is so new. We launched Freedom First Network in 2020 to fight against the very censorship that we’re seeing so widespread today. We have found great homes for our content on freer speech platforms like Rumble and we’re putting our best efforts forward into building our presence on Locals. Nevertheless, we cannot do it alone. We need help.
One of the things cofounders Jeff Dornik and JD Rucker agreed to from the start was to never be the pawns of companies that do not embrace our worldview. Finding advertisers and affiliates is easy; we receive requests by companies wanting to be pushed on our shows every day. But it’s important to us that we’re promoting companies, services, and products that are beneficial to maintaining a Freedom First stance in America. As a result, we do not take on sponsors easily. We would rather rely on our own products like Freedom First Coffee and the support of our wonderful viewers, listeners, and readers.
Those who want to support us and help keep the fight for America’s future moving forward can do so by donating through our Locals page. There, you can donate monthly or one-time. Some have told us to use Patreon or GoFundMe, but both of those platforms have demonstrated a hatred for free speech. Locals does not. They embrace it. We encourage everyone to join us on Locals, but donations are greatly appreciated as well. We do not have day jobs. Our fight for freedom is a full-time gig.
Please feel free to reach out to us through our contact form. It goes directly to our founders, so if you’re interested in getting involved, investing, sponsoring, or even bringing a show to our network, let us know. May God Bless the United States of America!
