GOP COMING ALIVE, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT – OVERNIGHT:  There is real life in the Republican Party.  The party, which is well organized, is not taking 2022 for granted.  We sense in daily statements and moves, that Republicans intend to fight as if they were 20 points behind.  And they show no fear of taking on the Dems whenever possible.  From Fox: 

EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are demanding answers from the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on whether new school reopening guidelines were based on politics and Democratic campaign donations rather than coronavirus science.

GOP leaders on the House Energy and Commerce Committee are raising alarms over newly released emails that show a flurry of communication between CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, her top advisors and teachers union officials. The emails revealed that the powerful teachers union, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), was making language suggestions for the CDC's latest school reopening guidelines released on Feb. 12.

The emails "raise significant concerns about whether you, as the Director of the CDC, are putting politics over science and Biden-Harris campaign donors over children," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., wrote Walensky on Wednesday in a letter obtained first by Fox News.

"Such revelations also raise serious questions as to whether you are honoring your pledge to ensure CDC guidance is evidence-based and free from politics."

Rodgers is the top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee. She was joined in the letter by Morgan Griffith, R-Va., and Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., who also serve on the committee that has oversight over healthcare matters.

The Republicans told Walensky that the emails "shed new light on your public about-face" on her stance on whether schools can safely reopen without teachers first being vaccinated.

COMMENT:  Now the GOP should demand major congressional hearings, whether they get them or not.  It's the constant grinding at the Democrats that will eventually make a difference.  Wear them out.  Force them to defend their Soviet values.  Expose them.  It's working already.
