THIS IS HORRIFIC. AND REMEMBER, THESE PEOPLE OWN BIDEN-HARRIS: A Modern Day Holocaust.
DEFEAT IS A CHOICE. AND WE DO NOT CHOOSE IT: We, Magnificent Bastards.
NOW OUT: Kurt Schlichter’s latest Kelly Turnbull book, Crisis.
HARSH, BUT FAIR:
And they certainly hope so.
OPEN THREAD: Discuss your post election plans here.
LONGEVITY: First drug for rare rapid-aging disease extends kids’ lives. Now the question is if it can slow aging in everyone else.
HMM: MMR vaccine may protect against severe illness from COVID-19, study finds. I wonder if severe Covid infections are in part a function of an understimulated immune system.
2020, MAN: Sinkhole filled with glowing green liquid found in middle of Toronto street.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. America’s Elites — Not Trump — Are Responsible For Undermining American Democracy.
Flashback: Donald Trump is a symptom of a new kind of class warfare raging at home and abroad. What’s happening in America is an echo of what’s happening in democracies around the world, and it’s not happening because of Trump.
THERE’S A HEADLINE YOU WANT TO SEE DURING A VIRAL OUTBREAK: Illegal border crossings are surging as migrants anticipate Biden changes, DHS says.
WELL, YES, BUT RULES ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE: Karol Markowicz: Our hypocritical leaders refuse to obey their own COVID-19 rules. “Actually, all the COVID rules are for us, not them. COVID-19, and the accompanying lockdowns, have made it painfully clear: We plebes have to follow the rules; the elites do not.”
I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who keep telling me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.
OUT ON A LIMB: Surprise: The “Smartest” People Are Actually Painfully Stupid.
Anyway, today’s Harvard Gazette arrives with some joyful news: Science is back! After four dreadful years of the “anti-science” Trump, we are now going to see, with Biden, the restoration of “science” to its rightful place in the formulation of public policy. This news is right there in the lead story, headline and sub-headline: “Is science back? Harvard’s Holdren says ‘yes’/Ex-Obama adviser says, unlike Trump, Biden and Harris will embrace factual analysis.” From the first paragraph:
[T]he incoming Biden-Harris administration has moved quickly to reinstall science as a foundation for government policy after four years of a president who disdained accepted scientific wisdom on subjects from wildfires to hurricane tracks, climate change to COVID-19.
The Gazette has learned that “science is back” by their usual method, which is by interviewing the leading Harvard professor on the subject. In this case that is John Holdren. Do you remember him? Holdren’s current title is “Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and professor of environmental science and policy in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences.” But before that he was “[A]ssistant to the [P]resident for science and technology and director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy,” a position in which he served for the entire eight years of the Obama presidency. You may remember that Holdren was confirmed unanimously by the Senate in March 2009, after minimal scrutiny of his background.
Finally, Holdren may get his shot to fight global warming by firing rockets full of pollution into the upper atmosphere.
