NYT Critic Ditches Review for Mask Obsession, Fears ‘Barefaced' People
New York Times’ theatre critic Laura Collins-Hughes’ reviews from London's West End have sadly devolved into anxious screeds about Covid and masks, those cloth talismans of liberal moral superiority that she flaunts like a Trump fan would wear a MAGA hat: "It boggles my mind that so many theatergoers in London, sitting side by side for hours, don’t bother with that elementary precaution [face…

On CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, anchor Fareed Zakaria finally realized what a difficult situation the United States is in by not being energy independent and reliant on Russia for oil.
