Polls show congressional Democrats face an historic drubbing in the 2022 midterm elections as voters inspect the COVID wreckage of the economy and civil society after just a year of Democrat control. So it should be no surprise that Democratic politicians across the nation are discovering the wisdom of ending their wildly unpopular and draconian COVID lockdowns and masking regimes. According to the Washington Examiner, eight very blue states — California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Oregon — have suddenly reversed course

The science has changed, the political science! My rather well fed governor put the French fries down long enough to announce that our mask mandate will end on 28 February. I'm pretty sure I am more indebted to Canadian truckers and all who support them down to the gas can jockeys and Polish sausage slingers than any scientist. He couldn't just lift it now and let us see the connection to the growing restlessness of the natives, oh no, he had to throw a date out there just soon enough to keep us out of our own trucks and off our own horns, yet out there enough to provide some distance and deniability. There is no defined goal or anything that establishes a fundamental change in circumstances between 2/09/22 and 2/28/22 other than the days marked off on the calendar.

Here's a clue. It never has been and never will be about actual science. Science thrives on questioning the evidence. What we have had is political propaganda pushed by democrats who love tyranny and controlling the lives of others.

There are two scary posts on Lucianne "Must Reads" this morning: 1. This one - The Dems are realizing the Covid Conspiracy is beginning to collapse and the truth is beginning to go public. If President Trump does not quickly acknowledge that while his "Operation Warp Speed" intentions were sincere and honorable, and that big pharma, the medical community, CDC, and the "elite" and corporate conspirators all conspired to lie to him on a scale somewhere between sedition and treason...he will risk losing much of the advantage from the Dems despicable Mandate fear-porn campaign. Trump should publicly acknowledge the only two mistakes of his presidency, Warp Speed and not requiring resignation letters from the Obama installed heads of all departments from Justice to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, etc. (As George H. W. Bush did in an effort to quickly destroy the Reagan legacy by accepting or rejecting the resignations as he wished.) Thinking citizens will discount honest mistakes if they believe they are being told the truth. Trump kept his campaign promises better than any president in my lifetime, and I was born before Pearl Harbor. There is no Democrat candidate so far suggested who could be trusted to honestly point straight up! 2. "What Are They Hiding? Democrats Argue Voting Machines Too Fragile to Inspect......" The other thing to fear about the upcoming elections is those D**n voting machines. Even a presidential landslide big enough to power through the corruption might not clear out many local corruptocrats.

# One; The Dems say Republicans are the party of slavery and people believe it. It’s not really a stretch they’ll get away with accusing Republicans of lock-downs, mask mandates, and forced vaccinations.

Actually they are following the science. It is now a scientific fact that Covid virus can be cured with little more than an upcoming elections. Elections, not face diapers, lockdowns vaccines or socialist distancing is the cure. Think of the misery and lives spared if only we had an upcoming election like we do now!

With COVID deaths now topping 910,000, the Biden administration and the rest of the Democratic left are deciding to ease up on their mandate regime. We need to learn to live with COVID, they say – repeating advice President Donald Trump issued back in October 2020. We’re all for ditching the left’s COVID police state, even if Democrats’ reason is political, as we pointed out in this space yesterday. But that leaves us with a question: Was any of it worth it?

Why The Joe Rogan-Spotify Fight Will Define
Free Speech For Us All

Remind us again what it was that Joe Rogan said that got the left so apoplectic. Did he spew hate speech? Call for an insurrection? Say mean things about a protected minority? No? The left wanted him canceled because he supposedly aired misinformation about COVID? Are you kidding? If this is the new standard for censorship, you can kiss free speech goodbye. After all, anything can be labeled “misinformation.” Would you dare to say climate change hysteria is unfounded? Or government-provided daycare is a bad idea? Or Joe Biden’s massive welfare expansion is a bad idea? Election fraud is real? Dogs are better pets than cats? Misinformation!

Spotify just pulled 70 episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience and Joe “My Apologies and Much Love” Rogan has just apologized for unsavory language from his podcast. These two developments are the result of a carefully executed influence campaign, and so I figured now would be a good time to go over how influence campaigns work. (This is what they teach you in a strategic political communications class for an advanced degree. I hope you find it interesting.) Imagine that you are highly motivated to make people believe that the only effective way to beat COVID-19 is to receive the vaccine

ABC has suspended Whoopi Goldberg from “The View” for a scant two weeks for her ignorant, outrageous contention that Nazism wasn’t about race. It would have demanded little more from Whoopi than scanning the CliffsNotes version of “Mein Kampf” before dropping out of Washington Irving High School in Lower Manhattan to have disabused herself of the notion. The future fuhrer’s obscene manifesto mentions race more than 100 times, including his declaration that “The world is not there to be possessed by the faint-hearted races.” Here is another

Allegations that “masks work” and “don’t cause harm” have been enforced by governments and corporations around the world for more than 18 months through arrests, firings, censorship, fines, and denial of access to schools, supermarkets, hospitals, streets, and other public spaces. This has made it virtually impossible for many people to live without complying with mask mandates. In recent weeks, however, more medical scholars and media outlets are coming to grips with facts about masks that Just Facts has been documenting for more than a year

While the big U.S. media mostly pretend Canada’s convoy of truckers disgusted with COVID lockdown culture doesn’t exist, it does. It’s a potent movement that has tapped into a deep vein of cultural anger and resentment over the Canadian government’s authoritarian response to the virus. And guess what? It’s coming here, and soon. As we’ve discovered again in recent years, the left loves civil disobedience, until it’s someone disobeying them. Then it becomes filled with authoritarian busybodies, more than happy to deny you your rights to enforce their vision of the world

Feb. 1 is the Danes’ new independence day. On Tuesday, Denmark rid itself of all of its remaining pandemic restrictions. But liberty in America, the nation that pioneered the guarantee of freedom to its people, is still under assault. Denmark is the first country in Europe to reopen its boxed-in, abused, and drained society. No more indoor mask mandates, or vaccine passports for entry into private establishments. Other European nations have lifted some restrictions, as well, but only Denmark has gone all the way and dropped a self-isolation requirement for those who test positive.

We remember the turbulent ‘60s and how our parents, having grown up in more stable times, could not help but worry that the country was headed toward a disastrous end. But America survived, and eventually became stronger and wiser. At least for a while. Today we see a nation sliding away from the ideals and convictions that set us apart. The U.S. is not perfect. We acknowledge that right now. It’s made up of humans, all of whom are imperfect. We were before the pandemic, and we will be after it’s over. But rather than reveal the best in us,
I&I/TIPP Poll: Trust In Media Collapse

For the major media, 2022 didn’t bring much good news after a rough 2021. Americans’ trust in both the traditional media and alternative media continued to decline in the new year, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The I&I/TIPP Media Trust Indexes show continued weakening in early January in the public’s perception of the media, continuing a disturbing recent trend. The Traditional Media Index, which includes such major legacy media as the Washington Post, New York Times, NPR and CBS, among others, fell to 40.2 in January from 43.3 in the final month of 2021, a 7% decline. January’s reading was the second-lowest since the index was created last March.

It’s a curious thing: Obvious, credible signs about a prominent political family emerge, but federal authorities at the Justice Department and elsewhere do nothing. Meanwhile, leftist media “watchdogs,” in a classic case of gaslighting, pretend that nothing has happened. So it is with Joe Biden and his errant son, Hunter. A new book (“Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win“) by investigative researcher and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer makes a powerful case that the Biden family has profited handsomely from its cozy ties to China’s ruling Communist regime.

A new Morning Consult poll out this week finds that young people are the most worried about getting COVID of any age group — even though their risk from the disease is negligible. At the other end of the spectrum, the elderly are much less worried, even though they are at the highest risk of death. The poll found that 23% of those between ages 18-34 are “very worried

The Biden administration is putting out new details on its effort to create 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations–with new efforts to push out funds to have them line interstates at 50-mile intervals. The administration is awarding $5 billion over five years to states to have them build thousands of electric vehicle charging stations. Another $2.5 billion will go out in grants to be decided later. It all comes from the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan that was enacted late last year and that the administration continues to sell, amid the collapse of Biden's Build Back Better plan. The charging stations would work with all electric vehicles

The ad, which aired Friday morning on Howard University's radio station, says Kaepernick's decision to go "on one knee" during the national anthem "came as a sign of respect to the military" and "changed the world." The commercial also calls Kaepernick a "two-time Super Bowl quarterback," which is false. Kaepernick appeared in one Super Bowl, a 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
