MAINE WEDDING BLAMED FOR SEVEN COVID DEATHS BUT THERE’S A CATCH: Boy, is there. Turns out the seven people who the Los Angeles Times implied died after contracting Covid at the wedding didn’t actually attend the ceremony.
ANALYSIS: TRUE. Joe Biden’s Coronavirus Advisers Are Worse Than The Disease. “One of his top guys wants a six-week national lockdown, with mass borrowing to pay all the sidelined workers. Another wanted the country to go on lockdown for 18 months — and doesn’t believe life is worth living after age 75.”

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL: This Video Of A Terrifying High-Speed Tesla Wreck Is A Reminder That Autopilot’s Problems Aren’t Just Technical.
We’ve written about the hacker/security researcher who goes by GreenTheOnly on Twitter before, as he has done a lot of digging into the data stored in modern cars, with a focus on Teslas. As a result, occasionally salvage yards will send him black boxes and memory modules from cars, which is how he acquired this video and data from a wrecked Tesla. The video shows a pretty harrowing high-speed impact with another car, and while Autopilot was not active right at the time of impact, I think the problems of any Level 2 semi-autonomous systemare involved here.
The crash took place at night, on highway CA-24 near Lafayette, CA, in clear weather. The Tesla (which was recording via its on-board cameras) was driving quite fast and rear-ended a Honda Civic hard enough to send it flying.
There was minimal other traffic around, and the Tesla could have easily passed the Honda on either side. Here, just watch the video:

As Charles Cooke of NRO noted in 2o17, the war on driving is inevitable: “Autonomous vehicles are about to collide with the American way.” Figuratively, and increasingly likely, literally.
BUT OF COURSE: Biden’s Education Transition Team Includes Employees from Nation’s Largest Teachers Unions. Every election is in some sense an advance auction of stolen goods, as Mencken said. But Democrats don’t even try to hide it anymore.

REALCLEARINVESTIGATIONS: Pro-Biden Bug Also Suspected in Georgia’s Vote-Counting Software. “A curious thing happened as Fulton County, Ga., election officials counted mail-in ballots at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena in the days after the election. In the early hours of Nov. 5, a surge of some 20,000 mail-in votes suddenly appeared for Joe Biden, while approximately 1,000 votes for President Trump mysteriously disappeared from his own totals in the critical swing state, where Biden holds a razor-thin lead.”
