Joe Biden's mask mandate firewall is crumbling

 Apparently, governors in 4 blue states see the red wave handwriting on the wall. That's why they're heading for the hills on Joe Biden's mask mandate hills. The science hasn't changed on whether masks work. The right types of masks in the right situation part of the time. The vast majority of the time, masks do more harm than good.

Democrat governors in New Jersey, Oregon, Delaware and Connecticut announced plans to eliminate their states' statewide mask mandates in the near future. The science hasn't changed. What's changed is that political reality has shifted in the Republicans favor in a major way. What's changed is how Democrats are now talking like Republicans.

I'm betting that that's proof that Democrats are worried that they're losing bigtime on this issue. If there's anything that's verifiable, it's that Democrats recite their talking points flawlessly time-after-time. BTW, if you get Democrats off their talking points, they're usually worthless.

TRENTON, New Jersey (AP) — The governors of four states in the US announced plans Monday to lift statewide mask requirements in schools by the end of February or March, citing the rapid easing of COVID-19′s omicron surge.

The decisions in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and Oregon were announced as state and local governments grapple with which virus restrictions to jettison and which ones to keep in place. The changes also come amid a growing sense that the virus is never going to go away and Americans need to find a way to coexist with it.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy called the move "a huge step back to normalcy for our kids" and said individual school districts will be free to continue requiring masks after the state mandate ends March 7.

The caveat in NJ is that Gov. Murphy is still letting school districts make the final decision on masking. That's an excemption big enough to drive the entire Freedom Convoy through. Parents won't get fooled by that stunt. If anything, it'll piss them off that Gov. Murphy and the Democrats tried pulling that stunt.

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont recommended ending the statewide mandate in schools and child care centers on February 28. Delaware Governor John Carney said his state's school mask mandate will run through March.
This is a hoax. These governors want the headline more than they want the mask mandate to end. Either way, the Biden administration isn't quick enough on its feet to navigate its way through this minefield.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
