The advice comes a day before the Administration’s new, stricter travel restrictions take effect.
The “black man reacts to white friend’s traffic stop” is a video that shows the reaction of a black man, who was pulled over by a white police officer. The video went viral and has created controversy.
To Democrats, President Biden’s pollster says, “Lift Mask Restrictions or Risk Losing the Election.”

For a year, I’ve written that the choice on’returning to normal,’ which includes sunsetting the transportation mask requirement, which requires masks to be worn at airports and on aircraft, will be a political one. The mandate would expire by the end of the summer, allowing the President to claim triumph over the epidemic before of the midterm elections. Control of the House of Representatives and the Senate is in jeopardy.
The betting markets have now agreed with me, although not as much as I had anticipated. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Polymarket is no longer available to Americans.
This same advice is currently being given to Democrats by President Biden’s pollster’s business. “Democratic campaign experts…see catastrophe in November unless the party develops a stronger messaging on Covid,” writes Daniel. The strategy memo is attached.
The following is the first paragraph of their memo:
- “Nearly every American now has the skills to defend themselves from this illness, after two years of lockdowns, travel restrictions, school closures, mask regulations, and nearly a million fatalities.” It’s past time for Democrats to claim responsibility for ending the COVID crisis phase of the war, to point to major accomplishments like vaccine distribution and economic stability for Americans, and to fully engage the post-war reconstruction phase.”
The following are the bullet points:
-
- — “Declare COVID’s crisis period to be finished, and encourage people to feel and behave more normal.”
— “Recognize that people are ‘worn out,’ and that the years-long limitations are causing them actual pain, and take their side.”
— “Recognize that COVID still exists and will most likely continue to do so for a long time.”
— “Don’t make the winning condition ‘COVID zero.’”
— “Stop talking about limitations and the uncertain future that lies ahead.”
The mask regulation, which is slated to expire on March 18, is being pushed by flight attendant unions, despite the fact that many flight attendants oppose it.
We’re at a 7-day moving average number of cases in the United States that we haven’t seen since July, excluding data anomalies caused by reporting lulls over Thanksgiving. In most cases, hospitals are not on the brink of becoming overburdened. Boosters are inexpensive and efficient. The virus’s dominant version is less dangerous. Treatments are also better and more readily accessible. It seems logical to shift to a paradigm where people may choose to protect themselves with properly-fitting N95 masks rather than being forced to wear (cloth) masks.
Except for Hawaii, all states have stated that their statewide indoor mask regulations would be phased down. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued new masking guidelines that focuses on hospitalizations. The Biden administration may not be ready to declare victory in the State of the Union on March 1 – it’s only a few days away, and they’d no doubt like to see less virus spread before doing so, though perhaps they’d like to balance out the news from Ukraine – but if the mandate is extended beyond March 18th, it will almost certainly be the last time.

The “minneapolis cnn” is a pollster that President Biden’s campaign has hired for the election. The company’s CEO, John Anzalone, said that if the candidate does not win in November, it will be because Democrats did not lift their mask restrictions.
