The authoritarian left has complete control over Oregon. Of course that's been clear since Antifa made themselves permanent and beloved citizens there, free to loot, pillage and bludgeon people as they pleased. Now it’s become even more apparent due to the fact that the state government is now mandating the worst COVID restrictions in the country.

On Morning Joe, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, who had obtained a temporary restraining order, blocking Gov. Greg Abbott's order prohibiting schools from mandating masks says, "I had someone tell me yesterday that their seven-year-old daughter cried when she heard the ruling because she felt like finally somebody was caring about them and their health."

As part of a segment critical of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, CNN Newsroom guest host Erica Hill and The Atlantic's Ron Brownstein included mention of Paul's one week suspension for YouTube where he questioned the effectiveness of cloth masks. Lost on the two was that former Biden advisor Dr. Michael Osterholm said the exact same thing on CNN the previous week.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says parents who send their children to school without wearing masks because they believe "Jesus" will protect them are members of a "death cult."

Morning Joe on Tuesday ripped into Ron DeSantis for perceived Covid sins. Washington Post editor and MSNBC analyst Eugene Robinson said Republican Florida Governor DeSantis' prohibition of localities mandating masks, and talk of withholding the pay of school officials who try to mandate them, was "criminal." Mike Barnicle passionately agreed, saying that…

After prolonged exposure to Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski has come down with a bad case of the Scarborough sickness: that of endlessly repeating a phrase. We've seen multiple flare-ups of poor Joe's affliction. With Joe away,  Mika jumped on his repetition hobby horse on today's Morning Joe. Her phrase: "death cult." In the opening segment, she used "death cult" no fewer than eight times to…

Forget New York's Andrew Cuomo with his nursing home and sexual harassment scandals. According to CNN's Don Lemon and Matthew Dowd, Texas' Greg Abbott "is in a race to be the worst possible governor" with Florida's Ron DeSantis. Dowd said "Greg Abbott is the Dr. Evil of Texas government. Everything he does is cruel and craven." 

On CNN's New Day, Democrat strategist Michael Starr Hopkins accused Republicans of "basically wanting to turn Florida into a morgue." The irony is that Hopkins was invited on to represent centrist Democrats. He praised Rep. Hakeem Jeffries's criticism of the party's extreme left, and said that Squad member Cori Bush's defense of having private security while calling for the police to be…

The media's obsession with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis continued on Tuesday as Katy Tur Reports guest host Geoff Bennett let Agriculture Commissioner and gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried spread multiple untruths about DeSantis' pandemic response. That Fried was allowed to spread such claims was not surprising as Bennett's questioning relied on similarly false premises.

Was Joe Scarborough ever a good ol' Southern boy, as he still likes to portray himself? In any case, that persona has definitively disappeared. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough exposed himself as the worst kind of condescending Upper West Side snob. The show devoted much of its opening segment to attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his Covid stance. At one point, after playing a…

With Joe Scarborough leading the charge, Morning Joe absolutely tore into the New York teachers union today for its rejection of a vaccine mandate for teachers. Scarborough called the union's position "ridiculous," and accused the unions of "whining" for months that they couldn't return to classrooms until there was a vaccine, but now that vaccines are available, rejecting the mandate.

Morning Joe regular Dave Aronberg, the Palm Beach County State Attorney, twice claimed today that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's stance on Covid constitutes—of all things—"socialism." 

It is obvious that the media view Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a 2024 threat; hence every discussion about COVID and the Delta variant must include an implication that Florida is a uniquely dire situation. On his Friday show, Cuomo blamed Florida for the CDC's revised mask guidelines, saying the country was being "held hostage" because of DeSantis' anti-science governance. 

Appearing on Wednesday's Katy Tur Reports on MSNBC, PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor declared that "white male conservative voters" and former President Trump are to blame for the CDC's flip-flopping on their latest guidelines that says vaccinated people should be wearing masks, but the facts said otherwise.
