                              MASK MANDATE

  (Mrs. MILLER of Illinois asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, Speaker Pelosi reinstated the 
mask mandate following the ever-changing CDC guidelines. She is even 
threatening to arrest staff who refuse to be obedient.
  The Democrats are using fear and mandates to continue the crisis 
mode. But the real crisis has yet to hit: depression, alcohol and drug 
abuse, suicide, supply chain issues, halted production, economic 
collapse, and worse, the damage to our children's hearts and minds from 
being out of their school and activities.
  For the Speaker of the House, these mandates are all about politics 
and not science. That is why when she thought no one was watching, she 
went to a closed hair salon to get her hair done without wearing a 
mask. She got caught and then blamed the hair salon owner.
  The rules only apply to we the people. They never apply to those who 
are in power.
  Americans are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. The 
Democrats in this House, and the rest of the Federal Government, do not 
know better than you, and they never have. Since when did the Federal 
Government become your doctor?
