The COVID-19 rules are changing so fast these days that the people in charge of this country don’t even know what to do. The CDC’s new indoor mask guidelines sparked confusion Tuesday as Vice President Kamala Harris almost immediately put on a face covering and forced reporters and guests at the White House to join her — despite there being no local mask mandate in DC. Harris aides claimed the DC government had just imposed a new indoor mask rule — despite the city falling below the CDC’s new indoor mask threshold with only a “moderate” rate of transmission as...

Gov. Gavin Newsom has pulled his children out of a summer camp after photos surfaced of his son sitting without a mask with other maskless children, a spokeswoman for his office said. The photo began circulating on social Monday and quickly drew criticism from parents who oppose the state’s requirement that children wear masks in schools. Under the state’s guidelines, children’s camps must follow the same rules as schools. Newsom has drawn criticism this month for releasing a policy requiring kids to wear masks in schools even if they are vaccinated, an issue Republican candidates trying to replace him in...

Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration is not considering reinstating a statewide mandate for mask wearing in K-12 schools despite Tuesday’s updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommending everyone in schools wear masks regardless of their vaccination status, according to a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Education. However, department spokeswoman Kendall Alexander said the administration is recommending Pennsylvanians including schools follow that guidance. “Further, businesses, and local governments may adopt stricter COVID prevention strategies, including mask requirements,” Alexander said. “The administration continues to encourage all eligible individuals to get fully vaccinated to protect themselves and their loved...

Folks, we really can’t make this stuff up. Sometimes reality truly is much stranger than fiction. Let me ask you a question: How do you think the Democrats and media would respond if President Trump interrupted a female reporter? Better yet, how do you think they would react if President Trump called that female reporter “such a pain in the neck”? I think we all know the answer! They would call him a sexist. They would call him a pig. And of course, they would accuse him of attacking the free press. So… That raises the question: If that’s how...

Okay, perhaps there are a few audio engineers out there or Sherlock Holmes types that can solve the mystery of WHY when the (unseen) Capitol Police in the video below are shouting into their communications devices we can hear NO background noise at all despite the fact they were supposedly in the middle of a riot?VIDEO

The United States government is not planning to remove the current entry bn for travelers from the 26 Schengen Area Member States, Ireland, the UK, China, India, South Africa, Iran and Brazil, at least for now. Sources within the White House have confirmed for Reuters that “at this point”, the US authorities do not intend to lift any of the entry restrictions for arrivals from the abovementioned due to the concerns raised from the spread of the Delta variant in these countries. Less than a week ago, SchengenVisaInfo.com reported that the US President Joe Biden said during a news conference...

Conservatives Shocked Without Proof About Jan. 6 Are Naive and Inviting Manipulation. Across my street in a poorly lit space, I watched a nearly invisible, shadowy figure, suddenly disappear into complete darkness. (It's something that shouldn't be going on when people who live here are behaving honestly.) If I don't really want to know what's going on, I can use the image of "nothing there" as an excuse to turn away, close the door, and pretend that everything is just fine. The shadow in the Jan. 6 picture is that, if Conservatives can be counted on to be shocked by...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—After seeing Olympic gymnast Simone Biles's inspiring decision to quit the Olympics right before the finals, President Biden has announced that he too will be resigning from the presidency to focus on his own mental health. "That pretty little gymnast girl quit the Olympics, and that's just inspiring folks," said Biden. "I wanted to be President for myself, but after a while, I started to realize I was still doing this for other people. I need to take this time away to focus on my own personal issues instead of always trying to please others. Self-care, folks! Gotta do...

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police responded to the Burger King in the Pittsburgh’s South Side Sunday night, saying workers allegedly walked out on the job. Police responded to the restaurant on East Carson Street and discovered it was unlocked with no employees inside. A city spokesperson says it appears the employees walked off the job. Police stayed until they could get ahold of someone to secure the building. However, Burger King employees reported that they were just too short staffed to operate so the manager closed up early... And forgot to lock the door behind him.

Fear is contagious. It’s almost as bad as the Delta variant. Again, is the new variant more transmissible? Yes. Is it deadlier? No. Does it make you sicker? No. Are those being impacted primarily the unvaccinated? Most definitely. So, when you want to increase vaccination rates, the government did what it did best: screw things up. Fully vaccinated people now must wear masks again in high-case areas. What constitutes a highly infectious area? Well, that’s not clear yet, but I’m sure the CDC and Dr. Anthony Fauci will make up some science fiction to justify this new mask mandate. The...

The White House and Centers for Disease Control is desperately trying to get more Americans vaccinated. At the same time, they're undermining vaccine efficacy by issuing new guidance for vaccinated individuals to wear masks indoors. The White House Press Corps is pressuring the administration to implement a vaccine mandate for all federal government workers after Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough announced Monday that VA workers are required to get the jab if they want to keep their jobs. Shortly after the CDC announced new masking guidelines Tuesday afternoon, President Joe Biden was asked, again, about whether he will require mandatory...
