masks to wear while eating

Researchers in Mexico have sniffed out a new COVID-19 mask designed for people to wear only over their schnozes while they eat, according to a report Wednesday.The nose masks — worn under a full mask with similar behind-the-ears straps — were unveiled in a demonstration video where a man and woman sit down for lunch, according to Reuters.In the video, the pair takes off their normal masks to reveal their nose-only gear before chowing down at an outdoor table.Some observers cheered the idea on Twitter, saying it would “reduce transmission” while others poked fun of its goofy look.

Social Media For Being Open To Taxing
Motorists Per Mile 13 replies
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg was ridiculed on social media on Friday for expressing openness to a policy that would pay for President Joe Biden’s massive infrastructure budget by taxing motorists for each mile they drive. “So, I think that shows a lot promise,” Buttigieg said regarding a mileage-based tax during an interview with CNBC. “If we believe in that so-called ‘user-pays principle,’ the idea that part of how we pay for roads is you pay based on how much you drive. The gas tax used to be the obvious way to do that; it’s not anymore.”

Joe Biden on Thursday was asked by a reporter if he agreed with Obama that the filibuster is a ‘relic of the Jim Crow era.’Biden replied, “Yes.” The filibuster requires 60 votes to pass most legislation in the Senate. Getting rid of the filibuster would allow the Democrats to ram through far-left, extreme measures with a simple majority. Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have embraced the filibuster as Senators, but all of a sudden it’s racist.Fox News reporter Peter Doocy called out Joe Biden’s hypocrisy during a press briefing on Friday and Jen Psaki twisted herself into a pretzel trying to
The former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes the virus that causes COVID-19 escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China, according to a new interview.Robert Redfield told CNN on Friday that it was his “opinion” that SARS-CoV-2 — the new coronavirus responsible for killing 2.7 million people globally — did not evolve naturally.“I’m of the point of view that I still think the most likely etiology of this pathology in Wuhan was from a laboratory — escaped,” said Redfield, who led the CDC during the height of the pandemic. “Other people don’t believe that. That’s fine. Science will eventually figure it out.”
“Michael Flynn’s brother and sister-in-law have sued CNN for $75 million, according to documents filed in New York federal court,” reports the far-left Daily Beast. According to the suit, the Flynn family says CNNLOL — an extremist, far-left Blue Anon outlet that spreads conspiracy theories, fake news, and promotes blacklists and violence against Trump supporters — lied about them being followers of QAnon.In early February, CNNLOL did a segment called “CNN[LOL] Goes Inside A Gathering Of QANON Followers” that included a video from Ret. Gen. Flynn’s Twitter account of a 4th of July get-together with his family. The video was of Flynn’s extended family, including his brother and sister-in-law,

At the Thursday Press Conference, a reporter asked Biden about his relationship with China now that he “has been in office for a few months. Biden answered by discussing his relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping: I’ve known Xi Jinping for a long time. Allegedly, by the time I left office of the vice president, I had spent more time with Xi Jinping than any other world leader had because President [Barack] Obama and the Chinese President Hu [Jintao] decided we should get to know one another

Democrats keep insisting that the majority of mass shooters are violent, white males but photo collages from 2019 and 2020 do not seem to support that assertion and in fact, show a diverse mix of faces that are guilty of going on shooting sprees.The Post Millennial’s Editor-at-Large Andy Ngo tweeted out collages that appear to contradict the media’s claims concerning race when it comes to mass shooters. Those on Twitter were quick to ask the source of the information which at least partially comes from a wiki seemingly dedicated to recording who comprises the list of mass shooters in the U.S. Specifically in this case, 2019. But there are

'The United States now ranks 13th globally in infrastructure quality, down from 5th place in 2002,' one bullet point reads. Despite having the cheat cards, Biden was forced to correct himself after mistakenly saying the US ranked 85th in the world in infrastructure, according to the New York Post.

Civil rights leader and MSNBC host Al Sharpton threatened to accuse Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona of "supporting racism" over their approval of the Senate filibuster.

"Why would they be wedded to something that has those results? Their voters need to know that." Sharpton is part of a larger push from the left to eliminate the filibuster in order to pass Democrats' election and voting

'We made a total mistake with the New York Post, we corrected that within 24 hours,' Dorsey told House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, who had asked about that example. 'It was not to do with the content, it had to do with a hacked materials policy, we had an incorrect interpretation,' Dorsey added.
A vehicle mileage tax could be on the table in talks about how to finance the White House’s expected multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure proposal, according to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg, who spoke with CNBC’s Kayla Tausche on Friday, also contended that President Joe Biden’s forthcoming plans to rebuild the nation’s roads, bridges and waterways would lead to a net gain for the U.S. taxpayer and not a net outlay. “When you think about infrastructure, it’s a classic example of the kind of investment that has a return on that investment,” he said.(Snip) “I’m hearing a lot of appetite to make sure
