AND THEN THERE’S THIS: ‘The Virus’.

THIS THEY SHARE WITH VETS LIVING IN THE USA: Vets living abroad left to navigate pandemic problems without VA help.
But you know, in the US they can get locked in their houses, and forced to wear masks even if they have respiratory difficulties…. Because the ADA can get sh*tcanned for a jumped-up cold virus. So there’s that.
THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T AFFORD BIDEN: China Watch: Trump Hangs Tough, but Biden?
Neither he nor Kamala are free agents. Bad as communist free agents are, Chinese agents are worse.
THIS IS THE LEFT. THIS IS WHAT THEY DO. THEY DESTROY EVERYTHING THEY CAN DESTROY: Red House, Squatters And Another Autonomous Zone In Portland.
THIS IS TOTALLY WHAT PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY’RE CONVINCED THE WIN WAS HONEST: YouTube Will Ban ANY Video Criticizing Biden ‘Win’.
TOTALLY!
BUT BUT BUT THEY WERE GOOD FOOT SOLDIERS FOR THE LEFT! 48 States and US Government Sue Facebook for Illegal Monopoly Practices.
Now do Google.
EIGHTEEN, LAST I LOOKED. AND OTHERS MIGHT HAVE JOINED. LAST STOP BEFORE THE BLOOD IS ON THE STREETS: 17 States File Amicus Brief With Supreme Court in Support of Texas Election Lawsuit.
And those of you who’ll say it was on the streets this summer…. Oh, my sweet Summer children, you have no idea.
AND WE WILL NEVER BELIEVE THEM OVER OUR LYING EYES: The Brahmandarins’ new clothes: they will never forgive Trump for pointing out they’re not wearing any.
IT’S PROBABLY NOT TRUE. THE SAD THING IS THAT I’D LIKE IT TO BE. AT LEAST IT WOULDN’T BE BORING: Former Israeli space security chief says aliens exist, humanity not ready.
Because 2020 is horrifying and boring. Something that shouldn’t even be possible.
MAYBE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE, BUT: Starship flies!
IF THE SUPREME COURT DOESN’T LISTEN, THEY’LL HAVE CHOSEN THE FORM OF THEIR DESTRUCTOR…. AND OURS: Key legal issues behind the Texas petition to Supreme Court re election issues.

Of course, if the vaccines were being rushed out to poor countries first, the complaint would be “using poor people as guinea pigs.”
OPEN THREAD: It’s the one thread to have when you’re having more than one.
UPDATE: A friend emails:
Thought experiment. There are five Democrat justices on the Supreme Court. There was a Democrat president who just ran for reelection. He supposedly lost, but virtually all Democrat voters believe that massive fraud in several Republican controlled states caused him to lose. Many Democrat attorneys general file a lawsuit in the US Supreme Court, essentially identical to the one that is pending now.
Does anyone believe for a second that those five Democrat justices wouldn’t do absolutely anything necessary to make sure the Democrat control of the presidency was maintained? Democrats care about power. Democrats do not care about process, or rules. Now we are being asked to be so meticulous about adhering to the rules, that we are to allow a laughably egregious fraud to succeed, and to permit our own throats to be cut by turning over the executive branch to the people who just committed the biggest political crime in history. I hope five US supreme court justices will show just a tiny bit of the creativity, to put it politely, which Democrat justices had when they, for example, found an imaginary abortion right in the US Constitution. We’ll see what happens.

THERE’S A LOT TO UNPACK IN THIS LONDON DAILY MAIL HEADLINE: Eric Swalwell refuses to admit wrongdoing over ‘top secret’ friendship with Chinese spy Fang Fang and demands probe into who leaked story — as he refuses to say if he slept with her (and she’s still Facebook friends with his dad and brother).

DEEP BLUE URBAN JURISDICTIONS SEEM INTENT ON SUICIDE:Los Angeles prosecutor plans to seek release of thousands of criminals. As a friend on Facebook noted in a related context, Americans under 40 or so think relatively orderly, low-crime cities are a natural phenomenon. Those of us who came of age in the 70s and 80s know better. Unfortunately, a lot of young urbanites are about to learn how easy it is for a hip, “edgy” neighborhood to turn into a hellhole of crime and disorder.

YOU DON’T TUG ON SUPERMAN’S CAPE, AND YOU DON’T TRY TO TROLL SEN. FRANK NICELEY:
THIS CALLS FOR A LAWSUIT AND MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: Stars and Stripes: Minority veterans to receive priority for coronavirus vaccines. What do I mean by civil disobedience? White and Asian veterans should sign up for vaccines as Native American, Hispanic or African-American. It’s hard to think of anything more un-American (and unconstitutional) than the government favoring one group of veterans over another based on race.
UPDATE: When the possibility of distributing Covid vaccines by race first reared its head over the Summer, I wrote:
There are obvious dangers to allocating medical resources by race … especially in a politically sensitive an area such as vaccines, where the public is already all-too-prone to accept various conspiracy theories and quackery that leads them to oppose vaccination. Instead of expanding the use of race in this way, science and medicine should be moving away from considering race and ethnicity at all.
