An Oregon school superintendent is telling parents they can get their children out of wearing masks by citing federal disability law. A pastor at a California megachurch is offering religious exemptions for anyone morally conflicted over vaccine requirements.
And Louisiana’s attorney general has posted sample letters on his office’s Facebook page for those seeking to get around the governor’s mask rules.
Across the US, religious figures, doctors, public officials and other community leaders are trying to help people circumvent COVID-19 precautions.
While proponents of these workarounds say they are looking out for children’s health and parents’ rights, others say such stratagems are dishonest and irresponsible

Our Empathizer-in-Chief has no clothes. The crisis in Afghanistan, mushrooming with the force and immensity of a nuclear bomb, is clearly a huge nuisance for President Biden. His demeanor this week is that of a sullen 12-year-old boy whose summer vacation has been cut short.
He had to be dragged from Camp David to address the nation last Monday, and as the week went on he couldn’t believe this was still a thing. Irritation is his current mood.
Not even gentle questioning from friendly Democrat George Stephanopoulos could elicit sympathy from Joe.

In his sonnet "Ozymandias," poet Percy Bysshe Shelley tells of a traveler who comes upon a desert ruin that was once an ancient empire. All that is left of it are "two vast and trunkless legs of stone" and a sneering imperial stone "visage" half-buried in the sand. Etched on a pedestal are the words: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair."
Joe Biden is a latter-day Ozymandias, with a tremendous thirst for power and a misplaced sense of invulnerability. But unlike the ancient royal ruler, it will not take eons for Biden's power to erode.

After four years of President Trump putting America first and gaining respect on the world stage, the American position abroad has crumbled. The Biden administration has wrought so much destruction that it is difficult not to despair about what the future holds. In no place is despair more warranted than in Afghanistan, a country being subjugated by the Taliban now that Biden has ended the American occupation. Women and girls who thought they had a chance for a brighter life are being thrust back to the Dark Ages and sexual slavery.
And yet, even in this horrific time, there are heroes among us rising to the occasion.

If you ever doubted that the country was in the hands of some very stupid and corrupt people, this week should have thoroughly disabused you of that fantasy. In one fell swoop, the administration left billions of dollars of military equipment in the hands of the barbarous anti-American Taliban; broke the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance by bugging out without warning to its members who were in Afghanistan in support of our mission there; left as many as 50,000 Americans and tens of thousands more of our Afghan allies to the not so tender mercies of the enemy; and on Friday Biden lied about it all.

Dear President Biden,
I’m not a supporter, not even a fan. But this is not about that or the short temper you show off anytime someone dares push back against your assertions in an interview (or the insecurities and shortcomings that trait helps to mask), this is about what to do in Afghanistan.
I wouldn’t normally write. Watching your policy agenda fail is something I enjoy, but this isn’t policy, this is lives. I don’t want to see people die in order to have more people realize how in over your head you are in this job.

Call this suicide by Democrat.
We have suicide bombers in the White House. We have suicide bombers in our governor's mansions. Worst of all, we have suicide bombers directing the U.S. economy.
This is the Titanic. This is the Hindenburg. We are headed for disaster.
New York City now demands vaccine passports to go into any restaurant, bar, nightclub, gym -- even retail store. Los Angeles followed suit. So did San Francisco and New Orleans. How many more will follow?
Las Vegas, my home, the entertainment capital of the world, isn't far behind. You now need proof of vaccination to enter concerts, conventions, even Allegiant Stadium, the home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders.

President Donald Trump held a rally in Cullman, Alabama, Saturday night.
It was just packed beyond belief, with tens of thousands, with some estimates in the neighborhood of 40,000. [Tweets]
Trump, of course, read the crowd and before he came on, had them play a little bit of the Gen. Patton speech, as delivered by George C. Scott. [Tweet]
Trump followed that up by saying he wasn’t a fan of ‘woke’ generals but that he didn’t think that Patton was very woke. “You know what woke means?” Trump said. “It means you’re a loser….Everything woke turns to sh**.”

It would be a huge laughfest, if it wasn’t so tragic. British journalist and author Douglas Murray calls out the legacy media for aiding and abetting the installation of this feckless failure of a U.S. president:
The world appears to have woken up to an important truth this week: which is that Joe Biden is a truly terrible president. It is a shame that it took America gifting Afghanistan back to the Taliban for so many people to realise this.
To be charitable, there were perhaps two reasons why this had not become more obvious before.

A Colorado Springs father’s speech against critical race theory at a school district’s board meeting is taking the internet by storm.
The black man was clear that America is not a racist nation and that racism would “by and large be dead” if not for liberal institutions “keeping it on life support.” Turns out, his opinion appears to have helped persuade the board to vote to ban CRT.
“I am a direct descendant of the North American slave trade. Both my parents are black. All four of my grandparents are black, all eight of my great-great-grandparents, and all 16 of my great greats.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that he had spoken with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier in the week as Afghanistan fell back into Taliban hands amid an ill-planned pull-out of American military and diplomatic personnel.
Meanwhile, White House officials confirmed on Thursday as well that as events were unfolding in the southwest Asian nation where U.S. and NATO forces have been deployed for 20 years, President Joe Biden did not take any calls from nor did he contact key world leaders who grew increasingly concerned as the situation worsened and Taliban fighters erected a perimeter around Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.

With the Biden administration refusing to commit to rescuing all U.S. citizens from Afghanistan, at least two other nations — Qatar and the United Kingdom — have reportedly taken up the challenging but doable task themselves.
This stunning finding was revealed by retired Marine and former Trump-era Deputy National Advisor Matt Pottinger during an appearance Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow.”
According to Pottinger, the Qataris have for their part been using their “lines of communication to the Taliban” to arrange transportation for Americans.
“They have in some cases — at the risk of the lives of their own diplomats — have been arranging for Americans and students, journalists,
