New in PJ Media:
You knew this would happen. A federal judge struck down Biden’s handlers’ mask mandate, and now the true mask believers are sure that we are all doomed, doomed, I tell you. The sky is falling because they’re not wearing masks on airplanes, and civilization as we know it, such as it is, is coming to a rapid end, not that we will see its end because we will all be dead.
Republican operative Jake Schneider tweeted: “Delta just announced on my flight masks are now OPTIONAL!! I’m going to DC, so I was the only one clapping.” And indeed, numerous Leftists were enraged. Oni Blackstock, the founder and executive director of something called HealthJustice, fumed: “The swiftness w/ which these various companies, agencies, etc have dropped m*sk mandates…makes you wonder if they really care about their workers or customers. ‘Face masks are now optional for Uber and Lyft riders and drivers in the United States.’ I will not be getting into a car with a maskless driver, for one.” That’s fine. Don’t. But those who wish to breathe freely now have the option to do so, and it is actually an indication that Uber and Lyft actually do care about their customers that they have lifted the mask requirement. But for Leftists, if you’re not being coerced, you’re not being loved.
The farther-Left-than-Chairman-Mao Occupy Democrats were thrilled that Old Joe Biden was continuing to coerce people in his corner of the airborne world: “BREAKING: Once again demonstrating leadership by example, President Biden decides to continue requiring masks aboard Air Force One in accordance with the CDC after a Trump judge struck down the lifesaving national mask mandate for flying. RT TO THANK BIDEN FOR LEADING BY EXAMPLE!” Even Old Joe won’t appeal the decision to set aside the mask mandate, which is a tacit admission that he and his handlers know it’s nonsense, more superstition and the illusion of protection than anything else, but hey, trust the science, or whatever.
Another fan of coercion was Massachusetts State Representative Lindsay Sabadosa, who calls herself a “Progressive Democrat,” as if just one or the other weren’t bad enough. Sabadosa demonstrated that she has no business being in state government because she has no idea how the American government works. “Today,” she tweeted Monday, a federal judge called it overreach for US health officials to require masks on airplanes & other public transit, and no matter how you feel about masks, you should be really, really concerned that the Courts are effectively taking away power from the federal government.” Well, you see, Ms. Sabadosa, there’s this court ruling from 1803 called Marbury vs. Madison, establishing the principle of judicial review, that is, the power of the courts to strike down laws that they found to be unconstitutional.
There is more. Read the rest here.

that is a fact we are ALL going to die the guarantee in America taxes and Death. sooner or later PS then you wear a mask we don’t care

Show me one major study that shows cloth face masks stop people getting covid 19. I can show plenty of studies that show they do virtually nothing to stop it. The virus is too small, it passes straight through the stupid masks!
Example, Denmark study 1.8% mask wearers infected, 2.1% non mask wearers infected. Statistically insignificant.

Seconded. The entire mask crap has been as bogus as the lockdowns and social distancing. Even the Covid vaccines aren’t really vaccines but therapeutics (and we still don’t know what their long-term effects will be). Covid-19 has been the most mismanaged disease in American history—and I hold doofuses and liars like Fauci and Walensky directly responsible for this.
Walter Sieruk says
Hurrah, no more mandate wearing of those useless placebo masks.
Furthermore, there’s is a very fitting Dr. Seuss type poem.
“I will not wear the stupid mask. I will not wear it here or there; I will not wear it anywhere. I will not wear it in a plane, I will not wear it in a train. I will not wear it on my ear. I will not wear it out of fear. I will not wear that stupid mask, so don’t even bother to ask.”

Time to attack the seat belt laws yet? My stomach is aching and I can’t adjust my seat belt to fit. I want the freedom to have a comfortable stomach.
How woke is that?
wpm says
Do you wear a seatbelt at the dinner table? While in a chair watching TV? The mask people wore did nothing to protect them from the virus .Masking up preschoolers the whole thing was one long joke. Seatbelts in cars do work that is a tested fact ,but if you want to wear a mask everyday everywhere you go for the rest of your life feel free to do so if it makes you happy. The virus will.be around forever .The common flu killed thousand of people every year who had many other health problems not related to the flu .I was fully vax(over 60 years old by the way) in June 2021 and got the china virus in Dec.2021 masking in public areas in NYC and vaxing did nothing to protect me.

Although it’s not very common people have died because they were wearing seat belts.
Nevertheless, how inconvenient is it really to wear a mask on a plane when people who support masks have absolutely no way to avoid you? I suppose it’s simply a matter of being considerate of others in the new reality we live in. Courtesy. It’s just not that big a deal.
However, since the mask’s utility is mostly for the wearer, outside of airplanes anyone worried about catching COVID from others can easily avoid non-mask wearers even although it may be inconvenient to do so.
A little sanity, a little courtesy plus a little give-and-take would go a long way to make any debate on the issue mute.

The chances of a mask keeping out any pathogens of Covid-19 is about as high as a chain-linked fence around your property keeping out the mosquitoes

Wehn it was first coming here…that dreaded and very deadly virus from china…where the citizens were being locked up, dragged out of their homes, followed by drones and told to go home….fauci …the child, dog and monkey torturer…told us all to “leave the masks for the healthcare workers.” we didn’t know how to wear a mask, now did we? that’s what he said…leave them for those who “need” them and know how to properly wear them.
STso, we followed that command. stay home, we were told. close your business. if we must go out, stay fhree feet…no six feet away from the next person in line. Doctors wouldn’t see patients for things they normally did…to listen to hearts, to examine eyes, etc.
then, lo and behold…we all had to wear masks…inside and outside and upside down…and some paid $50 for masks that were guaranteed….and yet, as someone noted above…masks don’t work to keep out viruses.
and masks restrict breathing. the masks of school children in Florida were tested at UF medical labs and found to be full of all kinds of harmful bacteria…and the kids were wearing them 8 hours a day, breathing in toxins.
If a person wants to wear a mask, then okay, they can wear one. But for the person who sees the danger in wearing them and no benefit to wearing them, that person should be free to breathe. If the mask wearers are so afraid of getting sick being close to a non-mask wearing person, they should be considering that as an indication that they don’t really believe the masks work. Because if they **worked*** the non-wearer would be no danger to them whatsoever.
the jabs are not working to keep people well and have been found to contain all manner of bad stuff. If the makers weren’t afraid of the public finding out what is in their vials, they would ask for FDA approval, and yet, they don’t because if approved, instead of just authorized for emergency use, they would have to include a paper listing all of the ingredients. They don’t want to do that.
And this mask thing from biden and his henchmen is just a weapon of fear so people will still believe it is necessary and a beneficial thing, to get jabbed. The next booster…making five shots so far…is coming in the fall.

Sorry for the typos. My computer has a mind of its own, I’m afraid and puts in and takes out letters and words that I don’t see until after submitting and the font is darker.

The Mask Mandate Is Over, and Some Leftists Are Sure We’re All Gonna Die
……………
Still lots of local mandates in blue areas:
“S.F. Muni, Caltrain still requiring passengers to wear masks as Bay Area transit agencies relax mandates”

James Lincoln says
So, according to the feature article:
“The Mask Mandate Is Over, and Some Leftists Are Sure We’re All Gonna Die”
I would think that the “triple-masked” Leftists would be *glad* that the “careless maskless conservatives” will now succumb to Covid…
