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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
