The left’s continuing support for masking up and shutting down is being opposed with renewed vigor by many Republican governors. These good men and women are happy to read the science — genuinely follow the science — and resist the Twitter mob’s latest narratives, in the process taking on the combined power of the Biden administration, the legacy press and cancel-culture agents of all stripes and sizes.

Mike Weinberger: Today, when I hear a government representative tell me something, my default position is to assume that he is wrong. He could be intentionally lying because he craves more power, which is a rush for many liberals who work for the government, or he may simply be incompetent. Nowadays I assume that “government information” is usually disinformation.

Biden promised that everyone who was vaccinated would be safe from Covid-19 and could thus resume normal life. Those who refused vaccinations were almost immediately labeled by the media as Trump supporters, reviving the left’s narrative of uneducated, idiotic and white resistance to government. The truth was that, apart from Asian-Americans, whites were the most highly vaccinated of the population.

Ben Shapiro: Our public health “experts” continue to promote outrageous restrictions. This week, NIH Director Francis Collins went so far as to recommend that vaccinated parents mask up in their own homes around their own children. There is no limiting principle to this. There is only a bureaucratic and political elite unwilling to treat citizens as adults, recognize their own limitations and leave us all the h*** alone.

Alaska’s Murkowski has established herself as a moderate willing to work with both sides. But in the post-Trump era, we need conservatives in Congress willing to fight tooth and nail against the progressive agenda. Palin would bring principled leadership to the table, along with the energy needed to match the current political climate.

U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, the man Democrats paraded out in front of the country for their Jan. 6 commission farce on Tuesday, is more than a law enforcement officer — he’s also a raging leftist. Dunn sat in front of lawmakers for Pelosi’s “Select Committee on the January 6th Insurrection” and lied about the death of one of his own colleagues, late Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick.

After nearly eight months of questions surrounding the events of Jan. 6, the question remains: Who killed Ashli Babbitt? Michelle Witthoeft, Babbitt’s mother, says Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is responsible for her daughter’s death. “My daughter was a California constituent, and Nancy Pelosi not only, I feel like, orchestrated the death of my daughter.”

A recent survey shows that a random sample of 100 conservative adults will raise 208 children. One hundred liberal adults will raise only 147 kids, according to Fatherly. That gap means that conservatives could hold a political edge, as the size of liberal families continues to dwindle.

Mike Huckabee: The Biden administration has been all over the map with its chaotic messaging about COVID, stoking fear of the delta variant to try to goose lagging vaccination numbers. This fear and confusion have spooked the market due to worries that the government might impose another pointless economic lockdown.

Imagine Cuba or Venezuela trying this.

Michael Flynn: What is America’s foundation? She was a new creation preordained by God yet made by man. Through prayer, toil, hardship, sacrifice, then resilience and determination, America was founded so future generations could shine, reflecting the greatness of him.

According to a Pew Research study, 60 percent of white people who call themselves “very liberal” or “liberal” have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, compared to 26 percent of conservatives and 20 percent of moderates.

For many fans at the UFC fight Saturday in Las Vegas, there was only one big winner, regardless of what happened inside the caged octagon. Former President Trump drew a hero’s welcome from fans who had come to see the fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.

Anyone who doesn’t see a connection between cutting police budgets and rising crime is smoking dope, which, by the way, is becoming legal in more states. At least 14 cities have cut police budgets — cities all run by Democrats.

For some left-leaning moderates, the love motif may have reminded them of “hope and change,” that equally vapid but effective slogan so brilliantly employed by Obama. Six months into the Biden administration, we now have a much better feel for what love actually means for America. Love means inaccurate reporting on Donald J. Trump is forever sentenced to the memory hole of “whatever it takes.”

It’s a pity really that Vogue ignored Melania Trump because she was, without question, the most beautiful, stylish and elegant first lady ever to occupy the White House.

Anthem-protesting Olympian Gwen Berry might be a star throwing a hammer in track and field, but it took Dan Crenshaw to hit the nail on the head — so hard it hurts. “We don’t need any more activist athletes,” Crenshaw said on “Fox & Friends” Monday.. “She should be removed from the team. The entire point of the Olympic team is to represent the United States of America. It’s the entire point.”

Many people stormed the Capitol building to express their distrust with election results. However, Pelosi claimed the actual causes of the incursion included “white supremacy, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.” This is an attempt from the left to demonize every American who supported Trump. The implication from Pelosi was that Trump supporters embody all of those evil things

Don Lemon, White supremacist? That would be difficult to buy, given that Lemon is black. However, there’s something in his kitchen that would end the career of any conservative, no matter their race. Tucker Carlson noted the irony that Lemon — recently seen saying America is a racist country — has a cookie jar of a “mammy” caricature in his multimillion-dollar house.

Thanks to one federal judge in Florida, Friday brought a huge victory for those of us hoping to preserve some semblance of American liberty. Judge Steven Merryday of the Middle District of Florida sided with the state of Florida in a ruling against the CDC’s “sailing orders” that were severely hampering Florida’s cruise industry.

The law-abiding residents of Portland, Oregon, are now at the mercy of leftist demonstrators after the city went after a police officer for doing his job this week — and that led the city’s team of anti-riot cops to resign and disband.

Ben Shapiro: At some point, there will be no more Walgreens in San Francisco. Then we will undoubtedly hear about how this is the product of systemic racism and white privilege; we will hear tell of the brutality of American capitalism. The truth is far simpler: Where leftist governance reigns, criminality thrives. And where criminality thrives, Americans flee.

The Democrat-controlled city of Los Angeles has devolved into a squalid cesspool of rampant crime, uncontrolled homelessness and filthy streets littered with trash, drug paraphernalia and human waste. That’s the observation of numerous Californians, including award-winning actor James Woods.

The U.S. President should be able to strike fear into the hearts of anyone threatening freedom, democracy, or U.S. interest. Our current president can’t behave decently for the queen of our closest ally or convey any sense of strength and efficiency. If Trump was an embarrassment to the United States, then Biden is a complete and utter disgrace.
