California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Monday his state’s plan to lift the mask mandate for vaccinated people on Feb. 15. The move comes just days after Newsom went maskless at a sports event where masks were mandatory.
The mask mandate was brought back in mid-December to curb the spread of Omicron and was extended through Feb. 15. California surpassed 80,000 deaths from the pandemic and confirmed 8 million cases of the virus. However, new cases, hospitalizations and ICU admissions are on the wane as of Monday and are projected to decline further. The state will end its indoor masking requirement next week, but the rules will remain in place for school children, state officials said. After Feb. 15, unvaccinated people will still be required to mask indoors, and everyone, vaccinated or not, will still be required to wear masks in higher-risk areas like public transit and nursing homes and other living facilities intended for the elderly.
Local governments will be permitted to continue their own indoor masking requirements, and last week Los Angeles County’s health officials stated their intent to keep the requirements in place even after the state lifts the mandate. Additionally, indoor “mega events” with more than 1,000 people will require vaccinations and/or negative tests for attendees, and those who did not take the jab will have to wear a mask. For outdoor events with more than 10,000 people, there is no vaccination requirement, but masks and negative tests are recommended, but not required.
As detailed by health officials, thresholds will increase from the current limit of 500 attendees for indoor and 5,000 attendees for outdoor events to 1,000 and 10,000 respectively. The threshold comes after Sunday’s Super Bowl is expected to draw as many as 100,000 football fans in Los Angeles.
Furthermore, California will also lift its requirement for […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
