With the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) largely backing the CDC’s ridiculous reversal on the mask mandate that demands even the vaccinated to mask up again, and decrying those who would oppose it, the Biden administration was busy bussing and dumping COVID-infected illegal immigrants into American border towns without notifying local officials and without a way to track them.
In place of reporting on President Biden’s COVID-spreading policy, the Wednesday evening newscasts hyped how Biden was contemplating mandating vaccinations for federal workers. ABC’s

Tension showed Wednesday as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) a “moron” for opposing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new recommendations for individuals, even those vaccinated, to mask up in certain settings, while the Biden White House is in shambles over their public failure on addressing the Chinese coronavirus.
Pelosi’s flare-up came in response to a series of tweets from McCarthy, who blasted the new mask mandate as a Pelosi-imposed political tactic. “Make no mistake The threat of bringing masks back is not a decision based on science, but a decision conjured up by liberal government officials who want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state,” McCarthy stated.
Pelosi Shuts Capitol Police Union Out of January 6th Committee

The head of the United States Capitol Police union Gus Papathanasiou on Wednesday urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to allow more officers to testify to the select committee investigating the events of January 6th, arguing the problems that day were actually “years” in the making which could reflect poorly on her leadership as House speaker.
“Poor morale, inequitable pay and conditions, and a leadership that refuses to engage – these are contributing factors to the events of January 6th and they remain factors still, today,” he said in a statement. “The Union asks that the Committee listen to the active-duty police officers who have been chosen by the rank and file to represent them.”

On Tuesday, the American Conservative Union (ACU) held a CPAC Free Cuba demonstration at the U.S. Capitol. It was the first event held there since the removal of the months-long fencing there. The demonstration served to highlight the plight of the Cuban people, so as to let them know they re not alone, while also calling on the Biden administration to do more.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) applauded the incredible heroism and courage displayed in the streets of Havana as we re seeing Cubans standing up, demanding to be free and they re risking their lives. Cruz reminded Cubans we hear you, telling them your courage is inspiring, your courage is powerful, and your voice, liberty will prevail.
