You may have read that the tide is turning. I wrote that just the other day and was pleased so many of y'all wrote me to cheer about it.
When do we know that COVID hysteria has become so yesterday? Maybe when establishment media begin to say so, too. In Thursday's Wall Street Journal, columnist Daniel Henninger shouted it:
Today, it's fair to say that no one but the hopelessly credulous believe much of anything Mr. Biden, Jen Psaki, Anthony Fauci or Rochelle Walensky says about Covid and Omicron. The list of doubted authorities worldwide could extend to the horizon.
When it's obvious enough that mainstream media recognize it, it's probably actually arrived. If you're marking your calendars, mark this day or week or month as 1 A.C. (for After COVID). A new era has arrived.
Here's what it means: when the government isn't trusted, people stop believing it. When people stop believing government, they stop obeying it. When they stop obeying it, government becomes at best an annoyance, like your wacky old uncle that no one pays attention to. Like Joe Biden.
Although President Slow Joe has been wacky for at least an entire year, it seems that most of America is only recently finally acknowledging the fact. Better late than never. Doesn't that feel wonderful?
If the Wall Street Journal's editorial page is any measure, Biden has succeeded, although not in the way he hoped to. He has succeeded in getting people to stop obsessing about COVID.
Henninger's column sums up the issue: "People are flying the pandemic white flag: They've stopped caring what the government, the politicians or 'science' is telling them about Covid."

How much longer can it last? It ends when WE end it. You can’t comply your way out of tyranny.
This has been true since the beginning of the fear-porn. Bears repeating.
How long? Until the next crisis. War with Russia perhaps?
There is a significant portion of the population that embraces the fear porn. They are convinced that they should never be harmed, never get sick, and government should protect them from these things.
Stupid, stupid, people.
And, if you’re a Christian, you’re suppose to love them. Tough times.
My Covid cloth masked Karen spouse is so conflicted. Now that CDC finally states that cloth and paper masks are worthless,(as i have told her from the beginning), she and my M-I-L have tried to wear N95 masks
“But I can’t breathe!”, each said. I finally replied “ As white women of privilege, you can’t say that. That’s racist. You’re not George Floyd”.
Had to leave the room, so much sputtering and spit flying!
(Their answer is to go nowhere. Let me ‘do’ all the errands and grocery shopping).
Come back with man food.
Meat chips and beer
LOL!
Disagree with one important point. When people stop obeying government, governments become dangerous and irrational.
Liberals think they can control the weather.
Liberals think they can control the virus.
Liberals think they can control the economy.
Liberals think they can control the citizenry.
Liberals fail at everything they try to control and react to their failures with more attempts at control.
Liberals are like an unthinking pack of dangerous wild dogs destroying everything in their path and must be removed from power.

More like the mafia. It isn't trusted but it is obeyed.
On Free Republic it may last forever. That’s what many care about
The worst part is that we are stuck with these election thieves and criminals 3 more years.
What they can’t get done in front of you they will do behind your back and the GOP is too crooked and stupid to see that and stand up. Keep that in mind.

Yes it is organized crime, but it is Organized. With some sense of order, however limited.
“How much longer can it last?”
It ended last year down here.
Wishful thinking. I see people lined up three hundred or more every day at one place to get Covid tested. They are waiting in line for a full day. This has been going on for two weeks and I don’t see it stopping for at least a whole nother week. They will be having tests all day Monday even though it is a holiday for most of the people doing the testing. Too many people have invested too much in the Covid to let it go and that reluctance will keep it going well into April.
Even in California people are getting sick of it. I live in Riverside County and even though these indoor mask mandates are a statewide thing, I haven’t worn a mask once inside any store I’ve entered in Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. The signs are up on the windows to wear masks, but so far nobody has enforced it.
Still COVID hysteria among SC justices evidently.
