1.) CDC director says agency is reviewing mask guidance, but not changing recommendations yet
2.) FREEDOM – The left is terrified of a WORD. The word is FREEDOM. What they really fear is the meaning and impact of that word. The word represents a concept that our Founders believed came to us from God. Being free of the restraints and control of governments and despots is a battle we humans have been having for centuries. It is a battle we apparently will need to keep waging.
3.) Yesterday I Was Levi’s Brand President. I Quit So I Could Be Free.
QUOTE: When I traveled to Moscow in 1986, I brought 10 pairs of Levi’s 501s in my bag. I was a 17-year-old gymnast, the reigning national champion, and I was going to the Soviet Union to compete in the Goodwill Games, a rogue Olympics-level competition orchestrated by CNN founder Ted Turner while the Soviet Union and the United States were boycotting each other.
The jeans were for bartering lycra: the Russians’ leotards represented tautness, prestige, discipline. But they clamored for my denim and all that it represented: American ruggedness, freedom, individualism.
QUOTE: I never set out to be a contrarian. I don’t like to fight. I love Levi’s and its place in the American heritage as a purveyor of sturdy pants for hardworking, daring people who moved West and dreamed of gold buried in the dirt. The red tag on the back pocket of the jeans I handed over to the Russian girls used to be shorthand for what was good and right about this country, and when I think about my trip to Moscow, so many decades ago, I still get a little choked up.
