Pandemic journal: It\u2019s Not Really About Masks<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are fully vaccinated people treated the same as the unvaccinated?\u201d wonders Peter Van Buren at The American Conservative<\/a>. E.g.: All air travel<\/a>ers must mask. \u201cThe answer is at the heart of whether public policy in America will shift and allow us to crawl back into our lives.\u201d Because it \u201cwas never just a mask, it has always been a way of thinking.\u201d Every state and business has different rules, a \u201cleadership void\u201d into which \u201centers superstition, pseudoscience<\/a>, politics, voodoo, and most of all, fear.\u201d The idea \u201cYou can\u2019t be too careful\u201d only works if \u201cCOVID restrictions have no secondary or tertiary effects.\u201d But they do: \u201cEconomies have been devastated. Education has disapp<\/a>eared for large numbers of kids.\u201d And with teen suicides up, we\u2019re \u201ckilling children to save them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Media<\/a> watch: Times in \u2018Echo Chamber\u2019 Again<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson Richman at Mediaite slams a New York Times \u201cnews\u201d story <\/a>that claims \u201cboth sides have much to lose\u201d if the United States and Iran don\u2019t restore the 2015 nuclear deal and notes getting it \u201cback on track is a top goal\u201d for President Biden, \u201cin hopes of containing, once more, a nuclear program that has resumed with a vengeance three years after [President Donald] Trump withdrew from it.\u201d Yet Iran\u2019s nuke program \u201chasn\u2019t \u2018resumed with a vengeance,\u2019\u200a\u201d as the deal never stopped it: It\u2019s continuing its \u201cmission to produce a bomb.\u201d Worse, the piece only quotes those who back the 2015 accord. \u201cReported articles should strive for objectivity, balance and . . . truth. The Times failed in each category, falling once again victim to the Iran echo chamber.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conservative: Superspreader Event That Wasn\u2019t<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite predictions it would surely be a coronavirus \u201csuperspreader,\u201d more than 380,000 attended Chicago\u2019s four-day Lollapalooza festival through Aug. 1, notes National Review\u2019s Jim Geraghty<\/a>. Eight days later, the city has seen \u201cno surge in hospitalizations . . . and no surge in deaths.\u201d \u201cThe upshot is that gatherings of vaccinated people and those with a recent negative COVID test are relatively safe,\u201d though \u201cmany people feel as if they ought to denounce large gatherings.\u201d Singer Demi Lovato even fumed about the Chicago fest . . . then went on stage Sunday \u201cin Anaheim, Calif., before an audience of 9,000 people, at a concert festival that did not require proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test.\u201d<\/p>\n

Politics beat: Dem Leaders Appease Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf Biden Democrats run Washington, why are Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer (literally) embracing one of the party\u2019s most outspoken advocates for defunding the police?\u201d asks National Journal\u2019s Josh Kraushaar<\/a> of party leaders\u2019 kow-tow to Squad member Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) on extending the national ban on evictions. Bush then \u201creturned the favor by telling CBS News<\/a> that she needs private security for her own safety but doesn\u2019t support funding the police to protect less-advantaged Americans.\u201d Moderates are routinely beating progressives from the Bush-AOC wing in primaries this year, so \u201cthe Squad\u2019s message isn\u2019t just fodder for Republicans; it\u2019s out of sync with a majority of Democratic voters.\u201d But leaders appease the radicals for fear \u201ctheir own base won\u2019t show up otherwise for next year\u2019s midterm elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Law prof: Joe\u2019s Extraconstitutional \u2018Leadership\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Biden last year \u201ctold voters that the choice between him and Donald Trump was between the lawful and the lawless,\u201d recalls law prof Jonathan Turley at The Hill<\/a>. Yet now, \u201cBiden is openly flouting the Constitution with a knowingly invalid extension of the eviction moratorium.\u201d The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are claiming \u201cbreathtaking authority\u201d in issuing the ban after the Supreme Court recently ruled only Congress could extend it. Biden himself \u201cacknowledged the obvious\u201d but went ahead anyway. The left \u201chailed\u201d the prez for his \u201cextraconstitutional commitment to social justice\u201d; one liberal declared that \u201cwith one small action, Biden reveals himself as a better leader than Trump.\u201d \u201cThat \u2018small action\u2019 was violating the Constitution \u2014 the document he swore to uphold.\u201d<\/p>\n
