THE ENEMY WITHIN: Former CIA officer charged with spying for China. “After leaving the CIA, investigators said, Ma got a job as a Chinese linguist in the FBI’s Honolulu field office. He used his new job and security clearance to copy or photograph classified documents related to guided missile and weapons systems and other U.S. secrets and passed the information to his Chinese handlers, court documents said. . . . Investigators said Ma, who was born in Hong Kong, explained that he ‘wanted “the motherland” to succeed’ and admitted that he provided classified information to the Ministry of State Security and continued to work with some of its same representatives who were at the 2001 meeting.”

FLASHBACK: The Media Loves ‘Birther’ Conspiracy Theories About Republican Candidates.

That’s different because shut up.

KURT SCHLICHTER: Feel the Exciting Excitement of Kamalamania!

Others point out that no one would say this stuff about a man, but no one can identify a man it would apply to. We conservatives do regularly make reference to the satyriasis of Democrat icon John F. Kennedy, if that’s any help. Apparently, that’s not sexist. And at least we aren’t hitting Kamala for having a confirmed kill like Democrat icon Teddy Kennedy, and we won’t be as long as Oldfinger’s newly hired food taster does his job.

It’s odd that we are supposed to ignore bad behavior unique to women in the name of abolishing sexism, yet we are also supposed to celebrate the unique uniqueness of people with cervixes. Grrrrls are powerful and wonderful because they are grrrrls, but if you observe that they can also be bad in ways men generally aren’t, well, that’s sexism because reasons and shut up.

Also, “And speaking of Sarah Palin, it’s great to see that it’s once again bad to criticize a woman running for vice president.”

OLD AND BUSTED: Waiting for Godot.

The New Hotness? Waiting for Durham.

Fortunately, as Roger Kimball writes, “Things seem to be speeding up now, which is good. I was beginning to think that John Durham was auditioning for a PoMo production of ‘Waiting for Godot’ with himself in the title role. The public would be left like Vladimir and Estragon, disillusioned and alone.”

Faster, please.

OUT ON A LIMB: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is No Saint. “The population of New Zealand is smaller than New York City. The entire country has a fraction of the air traffic of London alone. The UK had a high number of cases because its capital is one of the biggest cities in the world, is a melting pot of cultures, and is a banking powerhouse… What is motivating British liberals who are singing the praises of New Zealand? It can only be hypocrisy, or just plain ignorance. What happened to open borders and freedom of movement? Wouldn’t they be the first to criticise Boris Johnson for imposing similar restrictions at the border?”

Earlier: Why Jacinda Ardern’s COVID-19 elimination strategy was doomed to fail. “New Zealand stands as a cautionary tale about the nature of coronavirus: No matter how hard you try to fight the virus by smashing businesses, civil liberties, and lives, the thing always seems to find a way to come back.”
