SNICKER. GIGGLE. GUFFAW. “SCIENTIFIC” MY SORE LITTLE TOES. THESE PEOPLE ARE EITHER IDIOTS OR THEY THINK EVERYONE ELSE IS:  D.C. Mayor Issues “Scientific” Guidance On Winter Dining.

The article mentions that the standards are different in DC and Maryland. But wait, there’s more. In our recent trip across…. six? states, unless I’m miscounting, we ate out a lot, since you know, on the road, in a car. There were towns and states that were basically completely normal. Normal-normal, not new normal. Towns and states where you had to wear the symbolic mask of submission to enter the restaurant, after which, OF COURSE it’s perfectly safe to remove it, and be in close proximity to other people in an enclosed space for a long time. And there are places like our own Colorado where you are at a third capacity, with tables blocked off, have to wear masks to get to the table, after which of course, it’s completely safe….

The measures had absolutely nothing to do with the numbers of deaths per 100k people, locally (my husband insisted on looking it up) and what’s more, the fully open counties and states aren’t all dead.  In fact, their numbers track with everyone else.

Forget it jack, it’s cosplay, virtue signaling, and a bunch of statists making us follow irrational orders because it makes them sooooo tingly.

DEMOCRATS ARE FUNDAMENTALLY INIMICAL TO THE REPUBLIC. SO I SUGGEST THEY TAKE THEIR OPINIONS, FOLD THEM ALL IN CORNERS, AND PUT THEM WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE (WHICH YES, IS IN CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE ARCTIC IN WINTER):  Democrats: Any SCOTUS Nominee Will Be “Fundamentally Illegitimate”.

We’re not at home to arsonists and blackmailers attempting to take our country hostage.

OPEN THREAD: Was there any news today?

SHOULD DR. SCOTT ATLAS SUE HIS DETRACTORS? One can only hope.

MEANWHILE, OVER AT VODKAPUNDIT: Wargaming the Electoral College: 5 Scenarios, 3 Startling Finishes.

Four years ago this month, my first and wildest Wargaming the Electoral College scenario in which Donald Trump won, was what I called the “northern route” to a Trump victory through the Rust Belt states.

As it turned out, that’s exactly how Trump did win.

It was a close-run thing, and if the state polls are anything to go by then it’s going to be even tougher for Trump to pull off a second time.

But I don’t buy it.

It isn’t that the polls are necessarily wrong, it’s just that the electorate is going to be much more fluid in a crazy year like 2020.

More than figuring out who people are going to vote for, pollsters have to figure out who is actually going to show up and vote.

I’m not sure anyone has any clue how to determine who the Likely Voters are in a year like 2020.

If I were a pollster, I’d be bald from all the hair-pulling.

That said, we have to start somewhere, so let’s begin as we do every four years with the RealClearPolitics poll averages.

NOW WHY WOULD BLM GO AND DO THAT? Delete their About page that talked about disrupting the nuclear family and much more toward the end of Western civilization, Christianity and capitalism.
