On Frontpage, Jack Kerwick reports on The Mask Empire:
Specifically, we spoke about the
rise of Mask
Empire.
I tried explaining that world
renowned scientists—as opposed to career bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci—have
demonstrated repeatedly that masks, particularly the kinds of cloth and
surgical masks that have become a daily feature of the general public, are
ineffective in preventing people from getting infected with COVID-19.
Masks can even be dangerous, both vis-à-vis COVID, as well as with
respect to the exacerbation of other health issues.
In fact, even some of these bureaucrats
have, at one time, conceded the truth of the science behind COVID and masks.
. . .
Anthony Fauci himself
remarked in March,
on the eve of the peak of The Virus:
“There’s
no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of
an outbreak wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it
might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection
people think that it is.”
. . .
Face masks can pose health risks.
. . .
The bottom line is this:
The science, as the left likes to
say, is settled. Masks, particularly of the kind that are in vogue among
the public, are theater. For the elites that mandate their use, they are
a means to augment their power and exert control over the masses.

Headline at PJ Media:
Who Could Blame It: Biden 'Build Back Better' Sign
Commits Suicide
During Rare Campaign Appearance
Almost buried amidst all the post-debate commentary was one
short video of Joe Biden making a speech earlier today in Cleveland. As if to serve as a metaphor, his “Build Back
Better” sign fell off the lectern. The big drop happens at :27 or so. (The
video is not coming up in any searches, so click here and scroll down.

Most of us will be watching this evening's debate on TV or on livestream . . . assuming the debate actually takes place. Good news, though. You don't have to watch it, since Mr. Vodkapundit will be live drunkblogging it. Here's his announcement from PJ Media:
Programming note: Come back to the PJ Media homepage tonight at about 8:45pm Eastern/5:45pm Pacific for the Official VodkaPundit Debate Drunkblog.

Andrew J. Tobias reports at cleveland.com:
A group of voting-rights activists
has suffered a legal defeat
in their attempt to challenge Ohio's system of
verifying signatures
on absentee ballot applications.
A federal judge has ruled Ohio’s
system of verifying signatures on absentee ballot applications is not
burdensome enough to be struck down as illegal, rejecting arguments made by a
coalition of voting-rights groups that sued the state.
U.S. District Judge Michael Watson
wrote that while Ohio’s signature-matching requirements impose a
“moderate" burden on voters, they have other options to cast a ballot if
their vote is improperly rejected, including casting a provisional ballot on
Election Day. He agreed with Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose that the
state has a legitimate interest in promoting an orderly and secure election,
justifying that burden.
. . .
Watson’s ruling is technically just
an early loss for the voting-rights groups, which could continue to seek a trial
or appeal to a higher court. But it makes it significantly less likely their
case will succeed, especially given that the election is only 37 days away.
