We absolutely have to break the cycle of this thing mutating over and over, because it WILL become a much deadlier variety soon enough, if we don't. A mask over our faces, as well as better handwashing, avoiding touching our faces, social distancing, and staying home when sick, will do that! DO IT!

Peggy Placier

Masks have been shown to reduce numbers of cases.

This virus isn't going away for many years. I know people are exhausted but this is just the new world now. Let's protect each other and ourselves to have the best tomorrow we can share. - Mike Bellman

Run. Run, the sky is falling. Biden said so.

This disease is real. It has long term side effects that can be debilitating. We need to do everything we can to keep kids safe and in school.

We've already voted and spoke about this. Move on

The school board decided to drop its mask mandate after threats of legal action from the attorney general. Many parents take issue with mask requirements.

It should be their choice.

95% of new cases are Omicron, and only one death has been reported from the Omicron virus, and that was a person from Houston on December 24, 2021, who had serious underlying issues.

Larry Sabulsky

Mandates need to end. If you want your child to wear a mask, that's your choice. We need to start living life and quit having the government and especially the school board inducing fear. That is how they are going to control the society is by fear. Live life to it's fullest, not in fear.

mask done do anything, only N95 mask work. which they only work for 2 hours most, and you wouldn’t have much fun having to change your mask every 2 hours. the cdc had said that. and not everyone’s kid wants to wear a mask, you can have ur kid wear a mask but don’t make kids who don’t want to do so.

Lisa Gore

Studies show they done work. And it is unconstitutional by the MO & Fed Constitution to force citizens, including kids, into a health care system without their consent. This also means without parental consent. No science doesn’t support them. Hope Eric Schmitt is watching.

Matthew Arthur

Masks are both ineffective at reducing spread of covid and also impair interpersonal relationships.

Kent Airy

Masks are foolish and won't work, they increase your chances of illness, they are nasty. A bacteria laden petri dish on your face!

Children are not the property of the State. Their safety belongs to their loving parents, not to a politician.

This new guideline will only benefit the big insurance companies as they will no longer have to cover the cost of the vaccines.

Of course I am an American. I will always support my country.

Gerald Ashford

This operation is no different than any operation conducted by any president dating back to the Truman administration

VoxLesPaul

Watch the video of rejoicing Venezualans, and the wisdom of this decision is self evident. We saw the same thing when Saddam Hussein was deposed.

Fred

And how did that turn out?

Zaos Gonzolez

All commies deserve the same.

Eric Smith

Absolutely! It's wonderful finally having a president who is trying to do every single thing he promised the American people in the campaign.

Max

Maduro's drug trade, is an "Act of War" against the US. The military strikes and arrest of Maduro, are Self-Defense. There will be more, and more American lives will be saved.

No. It's an act of war.

If you elect a criminal who thumbs his nose at our laws, you can expect him to ignore international law as well. I can't believe in this country elected him the first time. Doing it a second time shows you how ignorant people are in our country. It's embarrassing.

Max

Trump was, and continues to be the best thing that ever happened to our nation. Three more years, hooray.

Peggy Carney

It's a act of war, Trump just wants the oil there. He is the criminal.

Max

Biden put a 25 million dollar bounty on Maduro.

Max

Maduro's drug trade is an "Act of War." You have that part correct.

Fred

Remember when we were told we would be welcomed as liberators in Iraq ... This is criminal. DON'T FORGET ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!

Fat Guy Outdoors

Was you in Iraq Fred? I was. Do you know the reaction of the people in Iraq or are you getting this from the news?

Max

Why are all of the Epstein files full of democrats? And, no pictures of Trump?
