VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Biden’s Easter Bunny Goes from Spreading Cheer to Spreading Fear.

Insanity Wrap needs to know: What’s even better than filling children’s lives with joy and wonder?

Answer: Reminding them that they’re all probably going to die, apparently.

Before we get to the sordid details, a quick preview of today’s Wrap.

• Oakland voters are dying to #DefundThePolice
• Did Senator Tim Scott (and many others) just fall into another one of the Left’s language traps?
• Come see the anti-Asian racism in the NFL

Bonus Sanity: Matt Kibbe knows how to save civil society, and you’ll love who loses.

And so much more at the link, you’d have to be crazy to miss it.

Plus a VIP twofer from yours truly and Paula Bolyard.

First the bad news: Now American Airlines Has Joined the Woke Chorus.

And then the really bad news: There’s No Stopping Vaccine Passports. Here’s Why.

THAT’S BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE PAYING ATTENTION: Public trust in CDC drops across all demographics during pandemic.

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: 2 Yemeni men on the FBI’s terrorism watch list were caught after illegally entering the U.S. via the Mexican border.

AND THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING: CBS ‘News’ Deletes Tweet Advocating How Companies Can Oppose Georgia Republicans.

And talk about burying the lede, CNN discovers that a channel besides Fox News exists:

Just think of the media as “‘Democrat activists in the propaganda field,’ certainly not reporters, or journalists. They need to be treated as what they are.”

AND YOU KNOW THAT THEY WILL: Joy Pullman: If Democrats Will Cry ‘Racist’ No Matter What, Republicans Should Pass Much Stronger Laws. “Everyone knows why Democrats don’t want voters to show ID. It has nothing to do with racism, and everyone knows it. So why are we playing this stupid game?”

Republicans should learn from the left: Bus protesters to CEOs’ homes, disrupt shareholder meetings, picket country clubs they belong to, and otherwise exact a quality-of-life penalty from corporate officials who oppose them.

DISPATCHES FROM THE “IT’S DIFFERENT WHEN WE DO IT” PARTY: Disparate treatment in two fund-raising fraud cases renews debate over dual Justice system. Nigerian Clinton foundation donor gets deferred prosecution deal, Trump inauguration donor gets 12 years in prison in eerily similar cases.

OR MAYBE HE THOUGHT IT WAS GOUDA: Hunter Biden Smoked Parmesan Cheese Because It Looked Like Crack Cocaine.

UPDATE: From the comments: “Make America Grate Again.”

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE: The Biden Administration’s czarina of racial equity, Catherine Lhamon, continues to express surprise that students diagnosed with behavioral disabilities are disciplined in school more than students without such disabilities … and that African American students are disciplined more often than other students. But data show that there is a good and obvious reason for this.

I’m figuring the Biden Administration will be reinstating the Obama Administration’s (in my view illegal) school discipline policy any minute now.

FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC REP. ALCEE HASTINGS DIES AT 84. “Hastings was a 15-term congressman, civil rights lawyer and Florida’s first black federal judge, though he was ultimately impeached after ten years of service over allegations of bribery and perjury.”

YOUR HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD INFOTAINMENT INDUSTRY: CBS Smears Ron DeSantis While Pete Buttigieg Gets the Obama Treatment from AP. “The Associated Press published an egregious triple-bylined puff piece on Buttigieg’s efforts to save America by building bridges, both literally and figuratively. With the possible exception of Beto O’Rourke during his failed campaign for Senate, only Barack Obama has been on the receiving end of such obsequious coverage.”

Give the AP this much credit: It was an impressive effort, given how little they had to work with.

GERARD BAKER: The C-Suite Converts to the New Political Religion.

The men who run Major League Baseball, Delta Air Lines, Coca-Cola and other giants have been quick to mouth the required antiphony of the modern liturgy. After long careers in which they seemed happy to let their talents propel them to unimaginable wealth, they’ve now discovered that the society that elevated them was founded in evil.

But instead of doing the honorable thing, and stepping down in favor of some less-privileged underling, they demonstrate a commitment to the faith by denouncing others. Here you have the essence of the new faith and morals of the woke classes, the truly privileged people in our society: I’m not to blame, you understand; it’s all those other white folk.

Wokeness is not about taking power from The Man. Wokeness is The Man’s way of securing his power over the rest of us.

CORPORATIONS DON’T PAY TAXES; THEY COLLECT THEM: Biden’s Economic Adviser Proposes Corporate Tax Rate That Exceeds China’s, and Will Land on You.

ALL BUBBLES POP: With the S&P 500 above 4,000 the ‘Buffett Indicator’ is wildly out of whack.

The Buffett Indicator measures the ratio of stock market’s total value to U.S. economic output. The idea is that abnormally huge valuations relative to GDP can only stay at those levels, let alone wax from there, if future earnings also soar to devour a much-bigger-than-normal slice of national income. That can happen for a few heady years. But over a longer span, outsized profits trend back to their traditional share of GDP. As the late economist Milton Friedman used to tell me, “Over time, corporate earnings can’t absorb more their traditional share of national output in our competitive economy.” When that “reversion to the mean” in profits occurs, valuations also drop.

We’ve witnessed that pattern many times. The difference now is that stocks have never defied the Buffett rule for so long, nor gotten so incredibly out of the whack with this heretofore gravity-like force.

Look out below.

YES, IT’S PRETTY OBVIOUS: Black people agree: Race relations ‘worse’ under Biden.

Well, we went from a President who said, “When You Open Your Heart To Patriotism, There Is No Room For Prejudice,” to one who ran and and has governed based on explicit racial division.

MEAN, GREEDY, AND LAZY IS NO WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE, MA’AM:

And people have noticed. Has anyone handled the pandemic worse than the teachers’ unions?
