VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Wall Street Writes Off Biden’s Chances of Enacting His Crushing Tax Hikes.

Insanity Wrap needs to know: If he actually wins, would Joe Biden’s well-known “ability to f*** things up” be our country’s saving grace for four years?

Answer: Sigh, maybe, yes.

Before we get to the sordid details, a quick preview of today’s Wrap.

• Barack Obama: Snake, charmer
• Twitter: Judge — and jury, and executioner — of political debate in this country
• Rick Wilson: Sad little lonely cowardly bully

And so much more at the link, you’d have to be crazy to miss it.

ANOTHER ONE: Dem Gov. John Bel Edwards caught socializing at a Louisiana country club without a mask in mid-November.

DENIERS: State Mandates Ignore Science On Why Wearing Masks While Exercising Can Do More Harm Than Good.

COLLUSION: Stanford likely helped develop facial recognition tech now used against ethnic minorities in China.

DECOUPLING: U.S House Passes China Delisting Bill. “The U.S House of Representatives on Wednesday unanimously passed a bill that threatens to delist Chinese companies such as Alibaba Group Holding and JD.com from U.S. exchanges unless U.S. regulators are able to inspect their financial audits within three years.”

IF IT WERE OTHER STUDENT GROUPS THEY’D BE CALLING IN THE FBI: Pro-life club faces vandalisms on campus, administration remains silent.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: The Idiocy of Republicans Boycotting GA Runoffs Has to Stop. “When I first read that Republicans in Georgia were SERIOUSLY FREAKING THINKING of not voting in the Senate runoff elections I thought I might need a field sobriety test, a concussion examination, or both. There was no way that otherwise sensible people could be participating in a ‘cut off the nose to spite the face’ mass delusion, was there?”

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED:

● Shot: What Now for Trump’s Border Wall?

● Chaser: Biden’s immigration radicalism.

NEWS FROM PUERTO RICO: “But, the big, big news is Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico, there was a shift in control in the territorial Senate and House. Both flipped from NPP to PDP. My understanding is that PDP wants continued commonwealth status—and not statehood. This is what is called news. The territorial governor has been in office since 2019, and she is affiliated with NPP—a party which supports statehood. Thus, political control of the island territory is divided. If that is not confusing enough, historically, NPP loosely affiliates with the ‘mainland’ Republican Party, and the PDP loosely affiliates with the ‘mainland’ Democrat Party.”

HOW’M I RIDIN’? I’M RIDIN’ HIGH: Space balloon company raises funds, will conduct first test flight next year. “No ticket price has been revealed, but it likely will be on the order of $125,000.”

PAUL BEDARD: Nevada ‘fraud’: 1,500 ‘dead’ voters, 42,248 voted ‘multiple times,’ RV camps as ‘homes.’

Related: Sen. Mike Braun: Half the country wants Trump fraud claims investigated, and he rips media’s dismissal.

If Trump’s claims are so crazy, you’d think the Democrats and media — but I repeat myself — would welcome a detailed, trustworthy audit.

BARACK TO THE FUTURE! Biden admin looks like one more try at liberal technocratic government.

Technocracy, climate cultism & dumb wars

Are you ready for the Great Reset? It’s the Great Leap Forward of 21st-century technocracy. It’s time, we are told by the likes of Davos guru Klaus Schwab, to reboot our passé, 18th-century ideas about rights, democracy and constitutions — and surrender to the smooth rule of the ­experts and the climate cultists, not forgetting, of course, their financial advisers.

The reality, however, is less Great Reset than Great Preset. What elites who talk this way really want is to turn the clock back to circa 2014, before Donald Trump’s ascent, before Brexit, before populists swept to power across the West on a wave of discontent with the liberal-technocratic order.

Look at who Joe Biden, the great hope of resetters, wants to drive the economic recovery. Janet Yellen, who was President Barack Obama’s choice at the Federal Reserve, for Treasury. Neera Tanden, the corporatist Clinton sidekick, for the Office of Management and Budget. Adewale Adeyemo, president of the Obama Foundation, as Yellen’s deputy.

It’s Obama Time all over again in defense and diplomacy too.

This is an ideology running on fumes, led by a sclerotic leader who has been a loyal Democrat foot-soldier for nearly half-century. However, as Dominic Green predicts, there is one happy ending: “In 2010, the voters responded to Obama’s first two years by flipping the House to the Republicans. They will do the same in 2022.”

Don’t get cocky, to coin an Instaphrase.

ONE LAST COLUMN FROM THE LATE, GREAT WALTER WILLIAMS: The Tragedy of Black Education Is New.

Several years ago, Project Baltimore began an investigation of Baltimore’s school system. What it found was an utter disgrace.

In 19 of Baltimore’s 39 high schools, out of 3,804 students, only 14 of them, or less than 1%, were proficient in math.

In 13 of Baltimore’s high schools, not a single student scored proficient in math.

In five Baltimore City high schools, not a single student scored proficient in math or reading.

Despite these academic deficiencies, about 70% of the students graduate and are conferred a high school diploma—a fraudulent high school diploma.

The Detroit Public Schools Community District scored the lowest in the nation compared to 26 other urban districts for reading and mathematics at the fourth- and eighth-grade levels.

A recent video captures some of this miseducation in Milwaukee high schools: In two city high schools, only one student tested proficient in math and none are proficient in English.

Yet, the schools spent a full week learning about “systemic racism” and “Black Lives Matter activism.”

I know I don’t have to remind you to read the whole thing.
