Gov. Bill Lee (R) announced the return to normal Tuesday, signing an executive order that removes the local authority for county mayors in 85 of the state's 95 counties to require face coverings. The governor has requested that the remaining counties with independent health departments lift their business restrictions and mask requirements by no later than May 30.
"COVID-19 is now a managed public health issue in Tennessee and no longer a statewide public health emergency," Lee said in a statement. "As Tennesseans continue to get vaccinated, it's time to lift remaining local restrictions, focus on economic recovery and get back to business in Tennessee."

Psaki: White House ‘Respectfully Disagrees’ With Catholic Church Position That It’s Wrong To Use Aborted Babies For Research
- White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that the White House “respectfully disagrees” with the Catholic Church on the use of aborted fetal tissue for research.

Death due to COVID-19 parties could lead to manslaughter charges, experts warn | Globalnews.ca
- People who break health rules by holding parties that lead to death from COVID-19 should heed the warning from a British Columbia judge about facing a manslaughter charge, legal experts say.
- Provincial court Judge Ellen Gordon chastised Mohammad Movassaghi this week as she sentenced him to one day in jail, a $5,000 fine and 18 months’ probation. ...The court heard he held a party for 78 people in a penthouse condominium that was about 165 square metres in size that police described as a makeshift nightclub.
- Gordon called the event “a crime, not a party,” adding that it was something attended by people “foolish enough” to put their own and their grandmothers’ health at risk.
- “If someone who had been at your party was infected and died, as far as I’m concerned, you’re guilty of manslaughter,” she said. “If someone who had been at your party was infected and passed it on to grandma, as far as I’m concerned, you’re guilty of manslaughter.”...Read all.

Paul detailed the fallout from questioning the "antiracist" education lessons that his school was forcing him to teach, why he decided to go public, and how Bari Weiss helped him. He also described how George Davison, the head of the school, admitted he thinks the school's curriculum is "demonizing" white students "for being born" and making white kids "feel less than, for nothing that they are personally responsible for." Davison denied these claims, saying Rossi "misquoted" him, but an audio recording of the conversation tells a different story.

Internal Records: DHS Knew 'Sanctuary' Orders Would Free Criminal Aliens:
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was fully aware that their “sanctuary country” orders would likely free criminal illegal aliens into the United States but issued the orders anyway, new internal records detail.
The records, obtained by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) thanks to his and Montana’s lawsuit against the Biden administration, reveal top DHS officials understood criminal illegal aliens would likely secure release into the U.S. if they implemented the orders.

2020 was the deadliest year for law enforcement officers in decades - CNN
"A report released Monday by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) found that 264 federal, state, military, tribal and local law enforcement officers to date died in the line of duty last year -- the highest since 1974.
The reason that number is so high: Covid-19.
Law enforcement officers died last year of numerous causes, among them vehicle crashes, heart attacks and gun shots.
But more officers died of Covid-19 than all other causes combined, with 145 out of the 264 deaths attributed to the virus...Read all.

A Record 34% Of All Household Income In The US Now Comes From The Government
The next time one of your progressive friends starts prattling on about sustainability, show them this:
We are referring, of course, to Personal Current Transfer payments which are essentially government sourced income such as unemployment benefits, welfare checks, and so on. In March, this number exploded to a mindblowing $8.1 trillion annualized, which was not only double the $4.1 trillion from February, but was also $5 trillion above the pre-Covid trend where transfer receipts were approximately $3.2 trillion.
We’ve been spending our way into oblivion for a long time — Wuhan Flu and Presidentish Biden are just speeding things up.
Really, we care very deeply about the coming fiscal panic/crash/worse… but if Washington doesn’t, why should we?"

Here’s Fudge’s rationale for her decision:
"...HUD Won’t Protect Women in Shelters:
...Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge...withdrew a proposed rule put forth by her predecessor, Dr. Ben Carson, that would have protected the right of shelters to define “sex” as they choose, thus protecting them against transgender legal assaults.
“Access to safe, stable housing-and shelter-is a basic necessity. Unfortunately, transgender and gender non-conforming people report more instances of housing instability and homelessness than cis-gender people.“Today, we are taking a critical step in affirming HUD’s commitment that no person be denied access to housing or other critical services because of their gender identity. HUD is open for business for all.”
What Fudge’s decision means in practice is that no shelter can turn away a transgender man or a man who claims to identify as a woman, no matter if there are concerns about the safety of the women residents, meaning no protection can be afforded for the latter...Read all.

Lack of tanker truck drivers could lead to gas shortages this summer | KETK.com | FOX51.com
"(WJW) — With gas prices already surging this year, another fuel problem may soon be on the horizon.
Some in the industry are now predicting a fuel shortage come summer.
And it’s not due to a supply issue, but rather not enough tank truck drivers to move the fuel to gas stations.
CNN reported that industry group National Tank Truck Carriers said nearly 20% to $25% of tank trucks aren’t being used right now as there are not enough qualified drivers available.
...“I’ve talked to retailers, they say there could be places where there are brief outages,” Jeff Lenard, spokesman at the National Association of Convenience Stores, told CNN.
“If they have no fuel, they have no business. People aren’t going to stop in for a sandwich if you don’t have fuel.”

Border Patrol chief bucks Biden effort to scrub 'alien,' 'illegal': 'Further erode public trust' - TheBlaze:
The Biden administration last week ordered Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to abandon words like "alien," "illegal," and "assimilation" when talking about migrants or immigration.
Instead, officials were directed to use words like "noncitizen or migrant," "undocumented," and "integration." CBP top official Troy Miller said the lexical changes are necessary to protect the dignity of immigrants.
