House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said in a Friday interview that the only reason the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eased its masking rules for vaccinated Americans was to distract people from the skyrocketing gas prices.The rising gas prices were in response to high fuel demand following the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline Company.Colonial Pipeline Company operates the largest fuel pipeline in the United States — providing roughly half of all diesel and gasoline on the East Coast — and became aware of a cyberattack from hackers linked to a group called DarkSide last Friday,

Somebody ask Wacky Psaki and her North Star why the holy mask rules and vaccination proof were never and are not now required of people coming in to our country illegally. Seems like they're not very good at anything like an Honor System.

Might also ask the CDC why, if their very mission is "disease control", they go along with the unrestricted transport of unmasked and unvaccinated illegal aliens into all areas of our country. It's literally like turning loose known vectors of disease indiscriminately into our towns and villages. They have statistics already that show their rates of infection are higher than our native population. Doesn't sound very much like controlling disease. More like purposely spreading it.

Manufactured oil crisis and the manufactured virus panic. It's all about control.

Perfect questions above. Why doesn't Biden answer questions? I notice he walks off. Running away is not acceptable behavior from a real CIC.

Because (#4), the real CIC is not at 1600.
But you know that. I was just pointing that out in case a troll was visiting us today, or we have brand spanking new visitors who need help getting up to speed.

Captain Obvious speaks. We get it Kevin. In fact we were expecting something to come along and change the narrative. Democrats must feel they are really in trouble if they feel the need to do something positive for the American people. Usually, it is some kind of a false flag. I am sure that is just waiting to be unleashed when they feel they need to use it in the future.
Let me be clear, Kev. Your only hope to save this nation is to get behind President Trumps’s policies. You have proof they work and are effective. All you have to do is get your men and women together and execute a strategy that will remind the American people that President Trump’s policies work for all Americans. Not too difficult but may take developing a little thicker skin that is comfortable. However, the American people will reward you. By the way, Americans know the election was illegitimate and it is not over. The doubt will remain until it is addressed. The American people have lost faith in the ability of this country to have honest elections. Whether when the truth is revealed anything Constitutionally can be changed or if we just have to grind through the next three years, it is imperative that the truth will out. Democrats must pay a heavy price for their treasonous act. Nullifying 75+ million votes is no small thing. Determine in your heart to get to the truth. That is all the American people want and when you say the election was legitimate and it’s over, you have failed to honor your oath of office because you have ignored the proof already out there in the public domain. Great leaders are made when nothing can deter them when they are in pursuit of justice and truth. The country needs leaders with courage and a singleminded focus to find out the truth. Be that leader.

Some enterprising reporter should ask Psaki why the government keeps demanding that people keep wearing masks, when masks have been proven to be ineffective against a virus- of any kind!

What so disgusting about this 180 degree turn on masks is that Biden and the CDC are pretending that they are doing something wonderful for the American people. The fact is that this should have been done months ago. If it was not for the desire of the Biden administration to distract people from its total mismanagement, we would still be require to wear masks a year from now.

I'm going to continue to wear my mask even though I've had my shots. Maybe people will think I haven't been vaxed and stay away from me.

Yeah smoke and mirrors is an art form. You politicians excel at the deviousness of it. We just watched you with the elevation of Sefanik. A solid north eastern liberal republican instead of a conservative.

So will our leftist masters now tell the "news" folks that they can stop the unrelenting covid panic stories?

Deception can be an effective weapon to control a populace and keep them in fear if it is believable, consistent and scary. Unfortuntely for the Biden clown show they are not very good at it, obvious in their inconsistencies and not very likable. We are on to them and have been from the beginning. They stole the government and now do not know what to do with it. It needs to be taken out of their hands before somebody gets hurt.

#6, there is probably nothing in the Constitution which mentions it, but I think that, when the truth is finally unequivocally revealed, the US Marshalls should be sent to the White House and the entire Xiden cabal, including Jill, should be arrested and tried for treason.
#9, you shouldn’t bother. If you keep wearing your mask, you’ll just look like a far left loon who slurped up all of the fear porn which the government and the media (but I repeat myself) have fed to you. Take the mask off and be a free American!
FWIW, I was at a huge fundraiser last night for a local charity. There were 600 or so people in a conference center ballroom and only one person was wearing a mask. It was SRO and there was a dance floor which was jammed with people. I figure the guy with the mask, who was maybe in his late 30’s, must have some medical problem.

Leader McCarthy, so this totally inane narrative should hopefully last one day through the news cycle. Perhaps try reading Alinsky's book. Or perhaps there is a class you can take called Setting the Narrative 101. Next class should be How to Define a Political Enemy Before it Defines You 102. Or better yet, a third class in How to Neuter an Msm Reporter in Three Easy Steps 103. Meanwhile, why don't you try something unusual and smack around the 100 rino pubbies who babbled this form-a new-party crap upside the head and have Lizzie wash her mouth out with soap.

No. Biden was being ridiculed for looking like a baby with his binkie. That's why the rule change.

With Cheney out of the leadership, House GOP can begin concentrating on the real problem. Biden and Democrats. Doing so is new and difficult for McCarthy, but he’s trying. Of course, his efforts will only last until the winds blow in another direction.

There are many reasons for changing the subject this week. One of them is what is being revealed about Fauci and his involvement with gain of function.
The big one is Fuel prices and the lack of fuel. This hits folks quicker and harder than anything else. Young folks don't remember the 70's, They don't remember Inflation. We are headed for tough times, though short lived. The Lord has our back and we will come out of this ordeal victorious and saving our country.
When that happens, the most important thing we must do is clean up the education system that now exists.

Since there is really no such thing as a coincidence it is a safe bet that Biden’s White House handlers got spooked by reports of gasoline, where available, was being sold for over $7.00 a gallon along the East Coast and needed a quick distraction.
Can you imagine the political result if the foreign hackers did their thing about a week or ten days before future elections shutting down a critical infrastructure? A political like Biden, or his spokesperson, claiming that the entity effected, like a private utility company, and so that such an international hacking attack on an American utility company has nothing to with the White House, a fraudulent position that would go over like a lead balloon with the American people.

In a logical world the President is given data which can show trends. Why then a week or 2 earlier he calls Texas Neanderthals for lifting a mask mandate and now its ok for everyone? Did the trend suddenly change in 2 weeks?
Only a political reason is the answer.

Yes, this is likely true. So McCarthy gets a small gold star. I still don't trust him very much at all.

Smart citizens in my area as still dutifully sporting masks. They probably think someone's trying to trick them into getting covid. At least, xiden's duplicity means those who don't wear masks can point to the idiot fake when accosted by crazies.

Cheney should have been a one day story - out the door and forgotten.
McCarthy's real nemesis remains Nancy Pelosi - a target so big and prominent that Ray Charles could hit it from 100 yds.
Frank Luntz's flatmate should be deviling her at every turn. She's old, she's confused and more addled than even Jumbled Joe at this point. She has a razor-thin margin in the House with many in her caucus sick of her antics, her arm-twisting, her ego, and yes, her hard-left agenda. She's had an easy ride repeating leftist lies about Trump and didn't contribute one constructive thing to the covid battle even if the covid battle was artifice.

I think McCarthy is just stating the obvious for all the dullard sheeple who listen to the MSM for their information. You know, people who can't think for themselves... It's kind of weird here in California. It's not clear if you can really go maskless -- There are some stores who still have their signs up and a lot of people are still wearing them. My partner went to Safeway without his but he got vaccinated. He had no problems. The cashier even laughed when he offered to show his card. But I am not getting vaxxed and I don't trust it. I just don't want to hear "Papers please!" from the local KGB either.
