D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser will lift the District’s indoor mask mandate on Monday, she said during a briefing on Tuesday.
The city will shift to risk-based guidance from D.C. Health based on current health metrics and a person’s vaccination status.“Now, I want to be very clear,” Bowser said. “This does not mean that … everyone needs to stop wearing their mask, but it does mean that we’re shifting the government’s response to providing you this risk-based information and recommending layering strategies as the best way to protect yourself and the community.”

A recently introduced Oklahoma Senate bill may allow employees of government and private entities to file lawsuits against their employers for as much as $1 million over health problems associated with vaccines or other forms of medical treatment.
State Sen. Rob Standridge, a Republican, said in a statement that Oklahoma employees would be able to sue their employers over medical issues connected to operations or treatment as a condition for employment.
“If an employee is required to receive the vaccine or some other medical treatment as a condition of employment and it causes that person harm, our citizens need to know they’ll have some recourse that will provide them with meaningful relief,”

Somewhere in the upper northeast there must be an economic school or think-tank where leftist graduate students are taught how to verbalize cognitive dissonance using the same 300 words and emojis in a sequential pattern. Two of the most visible alma maters’ of this school are Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and a fellow named Brian Deese, who is now the White House National Economic Council director.
In his latest exhibition of post-graduate cognitive dissonance, Deese nuts, the primary architect of the JoeBama economic program, appears on NBC to proclaim that massive U.S. inflation is somehow connected to the fact that 5 to 11-year-old children are not yet vaccinated.

Smart people want to know: Why do so many people still buy into the patently unscientific and false narrative of the Covid regime? A Belgian psychologist, Mattias Desmet, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Ghent University, has proposed that what we’re witnessing is a phenomenon that he refers to as “Mass Formation”. What he’s describing with this somewhat opaque term (in English) is a type of mass social hypnosis in which the mass of the population seems to share a “collective unconsciousness”—an obliviousness to reality and even a collective hostility to attempts to introduce them back into a relation to the real world. There’s an interview with Desmet on Youtube in

Wisconsin’s former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court on Monday against the Wisconsin Elections Commission for breaking state laws in the 2020 cycle.
In her lawsuit, Kleefisch, a Republican running for governor next year, asked the court to declare that the elections commission’s guidance is against state law and enjoin the commission to carry out a lawful election in 2022. She requested that the Supreme Court take up jurisdiction so the lawsuit doesn’t get tangled up in the lower courts and stalled during next year’s election.
“We need to make sure that the law-breaking we saw happen in 2020 never happens again in Wisconsin,”

Former president Donald Trump’s real estate company plans to sell the federal lease to its luxury D.C. hotel to Miami-based CGI Merchant Group, according to a report Sunday in the Wall Street Journal.
The Trump Organization, which leased the Old Post Office property beginning in 2013, has been in discussions with CGI Merchant about selling the lease, according to two people who spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the discussions. CGI Merchant signed a contract to buy the lease for $375 million, according to the Journal, citing anonymous sources.

The Left is addicted to projection—the psycho-political syndrome of attributing all of one’s own sins to one’s opponents. The woke apparently do this out of some Freudian effort to square the circle of their own guilt or sense of privilege, by fobbing off their own fearful realities onto others. It is the atheist version of confession or medieval penance. In addition, in the spirit of “always being on the offense,” wokists know that those who slander do so most successfully when they lodge exactly those charges most familiar and applicable to themselves.
Take for example, the worn-out charge of “privilege,” (snip) This trope originates exclusively from the Left.

The wife of Radosław Sikorski, a former foreign minister of Poland who is now a member of the European Union parliament, made an impassioned plea to send U.S. troops to Europe again to battle a tyrant.
(OK, we do have troops over there. I was one of them almost a half-century ago. But she means half our Army.) (snip) Yes, the world is worse off today than it was 30 years ago because Reagan's Shining City on the Hill is tarnished by corruption that was briefly interrupted by President Trump.

The other day, I received the following email from Lisa Murkowski, currently Republican senator from Alaska:
“Fellow Conservative,
“Today I announced my campaign for re-election to continue representing the great state of Alaska. (snip) Fellow Conservative? (How many questions marks can I put after that without seeming illiterate?) Murkowski is about as conservative as Nancy Pelosi on one of her middling days. I was going to write AOC, but that would have been unfair—a tad anyway.
In 2013 the National Journal ranked Murkowski the 56th most liberal and 44th most conservative member of the Senate and it has only gotten worse since.

In Saule Omarova’s world, America only really needs one bank—the Federal Reserve. Omarova, President Joe Biden’s nominee to be one of the top banking regulators, has proposed such drastic expansion of government control over finance that it’s leaving some experts scratching their heads over whether the administration is serious about her nomination.
A descendant of Kazakh intellectuals who were persecuted by the Soviet regime, Omarova saw firsthand the effects of a tyrannical state. However, that doesn’t appear to have tempered her vision of expanding the power of the state in America.
It would be best, (snip), to virtually abolish private banking. Every American would have a bank account set up at the

A major tax break for local media outlets tucked away in Biden’s massive $1.85 trillion infrastructure bill has the potential to basically turn them into leftist propaganda purveyors for the Democratic Party, according to critics.
Dan Gainor, who is the vice president for Free Speech America and Business at the Media Research Center, told Fox Business (snip)
“This is insanity. I understand why some on the right support this. The decline of local journalism can hurt communities. But putting it on the federal payroll will only make it worse. Don’t expect reporters to criticize politicians who fund them. And do expect them to write stories that please those politicians,”

“Scary” U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly is allegedly all talk, although reportedly not much of it, and no action when it comes to public safety, particularly border security, as the mass influx of illegal immigrants entering America seems to show no sign of abating.
That is the general assessment of the politician, who is up for reelection in 2022, by National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd and Arizona Police Association President Justin Harris.
The two lawmen implied that the retired astronaut and Navy captain is just a go-along-to-get-along, soft-on-crime Democrat.
