PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS:
Shot: Biden has a plan to fight COVID-19. Here’s what we know.
—C/Net, November 10th.
Chaser:
The president says the first part of his plan is to “get direct financial relief” to those who need it most.

“If we fail to act, there will be a wave of evictions and foreclosures,” he adds. “because there’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.”
—“Biden warns of ‘wave of evictions,’” the BBC, today.

AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD: Biden Tells Freezing Troops Sleeping In Garages To Be Patient Until He Can Get Them Shipped To Iraq.
THE STREISAND EFFECT: Change! “Speaking of Andy Ngo and antifa, by protesting against Powell’s bookstore for carrying his new book, Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy, they managed to jump it to the top of Amazon’s political bestseller list.”
WHY ARE DEMOCRAT-MONOPOLY CITIES SUCH CESSPITS? 699 people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco last year compared to 235 from COVID-19.
San Francisco’s last Republican mayor left office at the beginning of 1964.
GOOD: Arizona Moving Toward Second Amendment Sanctuary Status. “A handful of Arizona Republicans are behind a push to make their state the fifth to keep state resources from assisting in any federal activity they consider contrary to the Second Amendment.”

HOWIE CARR: Without Trump to blame, coronavirus turns the corner.
Any bad news now belongs to Dementia Joe. Ergo, no bad news.
Just as “the homeless” disappear whenever a Democrat takes office, along with rising gas prices or drone bombing of “wedding parties” in terrorist states, seldom will be heard a discouraging word about COVID-19 until further notice.
If you doubt that the air is rapidly deflating out of almost a year’s worth of breathless hysteria in the alt-left media, just Google “New COVID-19 cases decline.”
Here’s a small sampling over the last 72 hours:
From CNN: “New Covid-19 cases declined 11% after hitting a peak last week.”
Wall Street Journal: “Newly Reported U.S. Coronavirus Cases Decline Again.”
National Panhandler Radio: “Current, Deadly U.S. Coronavirus Surge Has Peaked.”
At least until the mid-term elections, when the Democrats will be needing to ramp up mail-in voting yet again, because it worked so well in November in the rotten boroughs where voter turnout sometimes exceeded 100%.
That’s why Big COVID is hedging its bets just a bit, allowing such future potential horrors as “mutant strain B.1.1.7” to start warming up in the bullpen — just in case.
This is nothing new. Recall how Big Pharma didn’t announce that the vaccines were ready to go until Nov. 5, when it was too late to benefit Trump.
How much as coronavirus “turned the corner?” Michigan restaurants can officially reopen Feb. 1 with curfew, other COVID safety restrictions. Gov. Whitmer announces indoor dining will be allowed starting next month.
Fortunately though, at least a few are remaining vigilant: ‘We cannot become numb to this’! @redsteeze puts COVID19 deaths on President Joe Biden’s watch into devastating perspective.

JUST THINK OF THE MEDIA AS DEMOCRATIC PARTY OPERATIVES WITH BYLINES, AND IT ALL MAKES SENSE: Media Bootlickers Hurl Themselves at Biden’s Feet.
How bad was it? So bad that even Mediaite and the Politico noticed:
Meanwhile, CNN switches into palace guard mode: Right-wing media holds Biden bash-fest, foreshadowing its next four years of coverage.
And not coincidentally: Trust In The Media Hits An All-Time Low In New Polling.
POLITICS MAKES YOU SAY DUMB THINGS: The Fast Company article on Parler that Stephen posted earlier has some good info but is hilariously biased against Parler and concludes thusly:
On some level, then, this is the internet working as intended: Hate speech will still exist, but after Parler failed to moderate the worst of it, it’s being pushed to the margins.
There is no level on which censoring speech those in power deem “hateful” is the Internet working as it was intended. It stuns me that someone could write this. Then again, maybe it’s just another example of saying the quiet part out loud – this is how the converged establishment intends the Internet to work now.
