Along with everything else, there seems to be a mask rebellion going on in this country, at least in certain states.

I’ve been trying to figure out why people hate masks so much, especially men. Is it because they’re unmanly? Is it because the government is ordering us to do it?

No, I think there’s a different explanation, but it’s very controversial – and so to disarm my critics, I’m going to use a commentary tool that I’ve never used before, because I don’t use it very well. It’s my ukulele, here we go:

1-2-3-4!

We can finally go out in the open
We can dance, we can drink and have fun
But before we go out
With our nose and our mouth
There is just one more thing to put on

And it’s our
Itsy bitsy teeny weeny
Very manly face bikini
That’s the order we all must obey

You hang the thing FROM EAR TO EAR
And when you look into the mirror
BOTH your ears, they stick out all the way

And forever that’s how they will stay…

And that’s why people… hate the government
Ole!

Ross: Are we killing car culture? Or is car culture killing the US?

I don’t think the question is whether we're going to "kill" our car culture. The real question is can we stop our car culture from killing the U.S.?

Ross: As cars release driving data to insurance, is your driving my business?

Every move you make, every swerve you take, every lane change you fake – someone’s watching you. Do drivers have a right to keep driving data private?

Ross: Rent control was never the answer in Wash.

The rent control bill died in the Washington State Legislature this week, even though Democrats control both houses.

Ross: Conservative activist earns applause for pledging an ‘end of Democracy’

The theme from Jack Posobiec's speech is that Jan. 6 was a righteous attack not on democracy, but on those who threaten democracy.

Ross: Voters can help cull bad politicians from the herd early

Let's remember that just about every occupant of a higher office once occupied a lower office, and was put there by us, Dave Ross says.
