FAUCI FLIP-FLOPS AGAIN! Doctor says he expects new mask guidelines soon.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says the US government will soon update guidance on wearing face masks in public, and that relaxing some rules is ‘common sense.’
The nation’s top infectious disease expert said that the Centers for Disease Control will update its guidance.
‘I mean, if you are a vaccinated person, wearing a mask outdoors, I mean, obviously, the risk is minuscule.’
‘Obviously the risk is really very low, particularly if you’re vaccinated,’ Fauci said of people conducting outdoor activities during ABC’s This Week.
When asked if the country was ‘heading towards normal,’ Fauci said that ‘in some respects, we are.’
Fauci added: ‘It really is a challenge. We have vaccines now.
Which is bad news for Fauci, who likely senses that his 15 minutes are coming to end: The mask is slipping, Dr Fauci…He’s a cable-news star first and a scientist second.

PRETTY SURE THEY FAILED: “Hollywood wanted the producers of the telecast to pull off an almost-impossible hat trick. First and foremost, they were asked to design a show that prevented the TV ratings from plunging to an alarming low — while celebrating movies that, for the most part, have not connected widely with audiences.”
UPDATE: The reviews are coming in: Oscars 2021 tortured viewers for more than 3 unbearable hours. “The night was nearly non-stop drudgery, zero humor and a format that tried even the most resolute of attention spans.”

EVERYTHING IS RACIST: So now cops are racist even when they save a black person’s life? “Perversely, even when it became widely known that Bryant was armed and seemed ready to use her weapon against another young black woman, some in the woke lobby doubled down on their fact-lite BLM-style blather. Valerie Jarrett – who had been a senior adviser, no less, to Barack Obama when he was president – said: ‘A Black teenage girl named Ma’Khia Bryant was killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight… #BlackLivesMatter.’ Not an iota of empathy for a cop who found himself in a very difficult situation. Not an ounce of appreciation for the fact that his actions helped to save a black life.”
Saved lives can’t be used as the Left’s political props.
SALENA ZITO: Ancient and lonely urban monuments evoke today’s political division.
Earlier this month, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said in an interview, “There is racism physically built into some of our highways.” But the problem is that when you make everything about race, you are often unable to reach people who would normally be sympathetic to your cause.
There is a fair enough argument to make that it is also elitism that is physically built into some of our highways, that dismissive contempt for working-class and low-income families of every color has always played a decisive role in infrastructure development and city planning. Because of that contempt, they could not stop the demolition of their communities, and lord knows they tried.
There is also an argument to be made that the seeds of our resentment we hold toward those cultural curators, such as the planning commissions that demolished the heartbeats of these neighborhoods, began when our parents and grandparents fought and lost the hard battles to save their communities. The division between insiders and outsiders continues to divide the nation.
Yes.
WHY DOES BIDEN MASK AFTER BEING VACCINATED: Good question and one highlighted by the fact during last week’s climate summit, Joe Biden was the only world leader wearing a mask during the video session. Issues & Insights thinks this tells us something important about when Biden will declare victory against Covid.
TO BE FAIR, THAT’S ITS GOAL: Joel Kotkin: The Green New Deal Will Impoverish America.
HELEN TRIES IT: Last night, I finally got the time to read Howard McEwen’s awesome book Daddy Issues: A Hard Man Novel (The Hard Man Series). His books take a look at men who have led tough lives and in this one, it was so refreshing to hear from a guy’s perspective how he felt about coming home to a dismissive wife and disrespectful teenage daughter. Everyone tells you men are the problem in our society these days but missing from that woke stereotype is the voice of men who have real feelings and real reasons to be upset.
The protagonist in the story is a guy named Wag who runs a successful car repair shop and he has numerous reasons to be unhappy. No one much cares though as the women in his life seem out of touch and distant. His mother leaves him when he is 12 and his wife and daughter are self-centered and out for themselves. The book should have been titled “Mommy issues” because Wag’s desperate need for loving looks from women leads him to do stupid and dangerous things. I will leave it at that but buy the book and the others in the series, they are worth staying up late for. (Bumped)
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Mainstream Media Poll Dances to Pretend Biden Is Doing Well. “That’s right, the drooling puppet president who has been perma-fluffed by the mainstream media is beating the guys the MSM hated but not anyone else. How awful do you have to be to not get a better boost from the media lust than Grandpa Gropes has gotten?”

ABOUT THAT ALABAMA AMAZON VOTE: And speaking of CRC, the mainstream media hasn’t given it much coverage, but the anti-unionization vote last week by workers at an Alabama Amazon facility is hugely important. This is especially so, according to CRC’s Michael Watson, given the Democrats’ PRO Act proposal now before the Senate.
WHO IS HANS WYSS? If the name doesn’t instantly ring a bell like that of George Soros, don’t feel bad because Hans Wyss, a Swiss billionaire with a checkered record of involvement in the medical research and liberal political donor fields, is not well-known. Thanks to Capital Research Center’s Hayden Ludwig, however, that should be about to change.
