President Joe Biden’s administration announced Wednesday a new program to deliver free masks to Americans in communities around the country. “While masks are widely available in many different shapes and sizes, many low-income Americans still lack affordable access to this basic protection,” Biden’s Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients told reporters during a press briefing. The Biden administration will spend $86 million to send more than 25 million masks to community health centers, food pantries, and soup kitchens to encourage more Americans to wear masks to help stop the coronavirus pandemic. Zients said the program would target low-income communities. “We really believe that this policy makes a lot of sense in that it allows people who are not able to find or afford masks,” he said. The masks will be made of cloth and will be made in America, Zients confirmed. “Not all Americans are wearing masks regularly not all Americas have access and not all masks … [Read more...] about Joe Biden Administration Will Spend $86M to Deliver Free Masks for ‘Racial Equity’

The Biden administration has moved to withdraw federal support for a lawsuit against the state of Connecticut seeking to prohibit it from letting transgender athletes compete in girls' sports at the high school level, the Associated Press reported Wednesday. The Justice Department's withdrawal came ahead of a Friday hearing in the case over the state's motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The families of three high school girls sued Connecticut officials in 2020 , arguing that allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls' sports forced athletes "to compete against boys." “Forcing them to compete against boys isn’t fair, shatters their dreams, and destroys their athletic opportunities,” an attorney for the plaintiffs, Christiana Holcomb, said last year. “Having separate boys’ and girls’ sports has always been based on biological differences, not what people believe about their gender, because those differences matter for fair competition."

Wednesday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends First,” Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) warned of the danger posed by President Joe Biden cutting back former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. According to Hagerty, that move endangers communities across the country. He argued there would be a “tremendous increase” in drug trafficking and human trafficking. “[Y]ou think about it — my home state of Tennessee — we have got 30,000 migrants at the border right now. That’s more than that the population of Bristol, Tennessee. It’s going to be easier now to get across the border from Mexico into the United States than it is to get a beer at a honky-tonk in downtown Nashville,” Hagerty lamented. “They’re inviting these immigrants to come in. We are going to see a tremendous increase in drug trafficking, we are going to see an increase in human trafficking, and we are going to see these people caught and released into our communities here in the United States. How are they going to ensure … [Read more...] about Hagerty Warns Against Biden Cutting ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy — ‘Tremendous Increase’ in Drug Trafficking, Human Trafficking
