NOT ME, I’M HAVING A BALL ONLINE: The Pandemic Is Dragging On. Professors Are Burning Out.

Not to denigrate others’ experiences, but I think it’s probably harder for people who work in meatpacking plants. Also, surprisingly little here on the experience of the technician-husband who leaves for work at 5 am.

IS THERE NOTHING JOE BIDEN CAN’T DO? Dr. Fauci Says Coronavirus ‘Won’t Be A Pandemic For Much Longer.’

HEH: “When I think of this odd election night, I am reminded of what Joseph Stalin said: ‘It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.’ . . . But say what you will about Joseph Stalin, he did his civic duty and voted in Atlanta.”

CUOMO AND DE BLASIO ARE DOING A BANGUP JOB: COVID-19: N.Y. adds new restrictions as U.S. hits another record cases.

Gov: Empty The Jails. “As a spokesperson for the Governor noted in his response, Massachusetts has already paroled and released hundreds of prisoners who were convicted of nonviolent crimes well ahead of schedule. They’ve already reached the point where the majority of people still behind bars are there for serious, violent offenses and/or pose a significant risk of recidivism.”

K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE: Public School Forces Kids To Take the Bus Home. Walking Is Faster. “If an adult does not pick them up, the kids must take the bus. The bus ride actually takes longer than the 20 minute walk. Moreover, in the era of COVID-19, walking is arguably safer—and certainly more comfortable. While other elementary schools in the area allow kids to walk home, Principal Shane Sanford put his foot down and the school district backed him up.”

COVID SPREADING IN BLUE STATES WITH MASK MANDATES: Issues & Insights should be mandatory reading for Joe Biden, so he’ll know things like this:

“And, of course, studies show that wearing masks – properly – can cut down on the spread, particularly from those who have the disease but don’t know it. The CDC now claims that mask-wearing can reduce the risk of contracting the disease.

“But, even if every state did adopt a statewide mandate, the impact on the spread of the disease would likely be negligible. Our analysis of the data shows that if the rate of spread in the non-mandating states were the same as the mandating states, the total number of new cases in the past week would have been reduced by just 6 percent.”

AND SINCE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT MASK MANDATES: It’s apparently OK for third graders in Mississippi to wear masks with political messages on them such as “Black Lives Matter,” but nope, can’t wear it if it says “Jesus Loves You.”

WHY DOES JOE BIDEN HATE MALE COLLEGE STUDENTS? Joe Biden Has Vowed To Undo Betsy DeVos’s Title IX Reforms. Can He? The new president could weaken due process protections for accused students, but it won’t be easy.

Plus: “When I asked DeVos if she thought Biden could have faced a Title IX investigation as a student, she said, ‘Oh my gosh, he would have had hundreds of them,’ she said. ‘Hundreds of them.'”

LISTS AND PUNISHMENTS ARE THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING A LEFTIST; THE REST IS JUST WINDOW-DRESSING: AOC & Co.’s loathsome plan to keep lists of pro-Trumpies.

But as someone pointed out earlier, with AOC being blamed, justifiably, by many Democrats for her party’s poor performance, she has to change the subject. And changing the subject from abject failures, to internal enemies, is also a classic part of leftism in action.
