THE RETURN OF MASK MANDATES? "[T]he only logic that justifies the reimposition of mask mandates seems to be the psychological comfort it affords the already vaccinated."

The only reason for mask mandates is to shield the virtue-signaling nanny ninnies from being laughed at.

POWERLINE: Magic buses aren't.

BIDEN ON CUBA: Communism is ‘a failed system.’

The 'Squad' disapproves.

SUPER SPREADERS: Pelosi’s office blames Texas Democrats for COVID outbreak.

I'm beginning to like those Texas 'fleebaggers' -- we need more superspreaders on Capitol Hill.

HOMELESS ASSAULTS RAMP UP, Leftist mayor offers idiotic solution.

Well, Leftists are idiots, so it's no surprise.

THREE TEXAS DEMOCRATS who fled to D.C. test positive for COVID-19. One says it's worth it.

He probably thought the BLM riots were 'worth it' as well.

ABOUT TIME. Police deliver a bruising lesson to Antifa when they get violent.

A REVERSE CUBAN BOATLIFT: Real Americans are doing what Biden won't (and is trying to prohibit).

HIGHER EDUCATION UPDATE: Rules are racist.

Translation: Rules are for thee, not for me.

WANT TO SAVE AMERICA? Don't act like a conservative. Here's a short excerpt:

Dear Members of Congress: Mothers are not “birthing people,” and to call us that is a disgrace. To refuse to call us mothers is an abomination, too. Sex-based rights are not yours to give away.

And if Republicans can’t say that, they should pack up their things; at least they won’t be in the way. The last thing America needs right now is more wallpaper over cracks. Time to toss out the “Aw Shucks Conservatism” of navy blazers and boat shoes, the sort that believes matching jammies on Christmas suffices to save a country on the brink. That approach may have excelled when churches and civil society were strong and conservatives needed only to get married, raise a family, and perform the simple heroism of showing up. Today, it’s a loser.

Its mistake is not in any of the hand-written niceties it revels in, which make life orderly, cozy—even lovely. Its mistake is that it treats Leftist ideologues like quirky out-of-town guests arriving for brunch. It assumes we all want the same things and are equally devoted to the perpetuation of bedrock American commitments: free speech, free exercise of faith, equal protection, rule of law.

But the Woke are not zany guests. They are home-invasion robbers.

Read the whole post. It's that important.
