While California Aims to Reestablish COVID Policies, Texas Outlaws Masks, Lockdowns and Vaccine Mandates

California’s government has updated its Covid safety website with protocols that set the stage for pandemic-era restrictions on daily life. The website advised that “California’s COVID-19 State of Emergency is over, but COVID-19 has not gone away,” and admonished that we need to keep taking steps to prevent the spread. The document promotes self-isolation, mask-wearing, digital vaccine records, and more. The federal government took steps to enact Covid lockdowns that were to begin with incremental restrictions next month, but it has retreated due to push back.

Texas: On September 1, local governments will be prohibited from requiring COVID-related masks, vaccines, or business shutdowns. However, Senate Bill 29 does not restrict private entities from enforcing their own rules.

Police Video Shows School Board Officials Calling Police on Citizens Who Look “Trumpish”

New Jersey: On August 8, 2023, James O’Keefe attended a public Livingston school board meeting and asked Dr. Matthew Block, the superintendent of schools, for details about support for equity, inclusion and diversity, why the board hired AtoZ Equity Coaching, why there is a “focus on global citizenship” in teaching, and why the district plans an “equity audit”. O’Keefe was told to stop recording, even though the meeting was being recorded on Zoom. O’Keefe is an advocate for parental rights and he said that he was going to train parents how to covertly record meetings to document the school board’s actions. School board members called the police. O’Keefe obtained the police bodycam recording through a FOIA request. A school board official, describing the attendees at the meeting, told the police officer, “They’re different looking. Um, they look Trumpish. They look a little scary.” O’Keefe said, “The police colluded with school officials to scan license plates of school board meeting attendees who looked different.”

Protests Erupt in London as Mayor Sadiq Khan Expands Carbon Tax Green Zone

London: Mayor Sadiq Khan announced the expansion of a “green” zone that will tax drivers based on vehicle emissions. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) charges drivers in vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons £12.50 daily for driving within the zone, which has now expanded to include all of greater London, which will bring 5 million more Londoners into the tax zone. Protesters demanded Mayor Khan resign and the ULEZ project be dismantled. The UK is one of the European countries that’s committed to the World Health Organization and World Economic Forum‘s goal of “Net Zero” emissions by 2050.
