It's weird how reality changes when the media's favorite presidential candidate takes office. The Democrats and media "forget" that the $600 checks were approved under President Donald Trump's administration. They "forget" that President Joe Biden promised $2,000 checks on the campaign trail. But since $1400 + $600 = $2000 the leftists are willing to "forget" that little detail.

To the shock of no one, President Joe Biden and the CDC skirted around his declaration of requiring masks on planes, trains, and federal property. Another order quietly came about on January 28th, which mentioned compliance "consistent with CDC guidelines and applicable law." So those who thought Biden would go farther were right. He just did it through the CDC, which requires masks in all modes of transportation. It went into effect this week.

Yes, you read the headline correctly. The city of San Francisco is suing its own school district for not having a "meaningful plan for how or when in-person" teaching will begin. Teachers and students have not been in the classroom since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Also, I think this is the fourth #headdesk story I've written related to San Francisco schools.

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) called for a two-day break after officials pulled off one agreement. Students K-8th grade have not attended in-person class since March 2020 due to COVID-19. CPS wanted to open schools in January, but the union has made it difficult by insisting officials have not met any demands.

The talks between Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Chicago Public Schools (CPS), and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) fell apart on Sunday, leaving the kids without a deal and sets up a potential teacher strike and lockout. Students have not been in the classroom since March 2020 when everything shut down due to COVID-19.

Top-notch and trustworthy MSNBC "journalist" Brian Williams claimed he had an exclusive video of President Donald Trump meeting House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. It was a clip from Jerry Maguire where Jerry told Dorothy she completes him. She responded, "You had me at hello."
