GRANNY-KILLER CUOMO UPDATE: Nursing Homes Sued for COVID Deaths in Every County of New York State. “The lawyer heading the political lobby for the nursing home industry in New York says the state government acting under Andrew M. Cuomo’s policies contributed to excess COVID deaths in nursing homes, which the nursing home industry shouldn’t be held legally liable for.”

YEAH, ALL THE SURFACE-CLEANING AND QR-CODE MENU STUFF WAS JUST HYGIENE THEATER: Transmission of COVID-19 is 1,000 times more likely from air than surfaces.

#RESIST: Hong Kong protesters knock down alleged ‘facial recognition tower.’ “Protesters in Hong Kong destroyed a ‘smart’ lamppost on Saturday over fears that the device is equipped with facial recognition software and was being used for surveillance.”

VDH: Losing the People? Then Change the Rules.

So what is behind leaking Supreme Court drafts of impending opinions, or seeking to pack the Supreme Court with 15 justices, or ending the Senate filibuster, or adding two more states to the 60-year-old, 50-state union, or curtailing states’ rights to set their own balloting procedures, or trashing the Constitution’s Electoral College?

The answer to those questions also applies to Joe Biden’s promise to cancel millions of contracted federally guaranteed student loans simply by a pre-midterm election executive fiat.

And how can Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas openly negate federal immigration law? How can he welcome millions to cross illegally the southern border?

The answers are obvious.

The hard Left has detoured from the mainstream of American voters onto a radical trajectory. So it will never find 51 percent public approval for any of its current extremist and crackpot initiatives.

Instead, it sees success only through altering the rules of governance or changing the demography of the electorate—or both.

Still, leftists should be careful about what they wish for.

Latinos are historically transforming en masse into conservative voters.

Leftists are also greenlighting powerful precedents for the next Republican president. He may follow their lead by simply changing any rules, laws, customs, and traditions anytime he deems them inconvenient.

As Glenn wrote last year when Democrats stripped Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments, “Just as when Harry Reid got rid of the filibuster, they think the worm will never turn.”

HERE COMES THE TALIBAN’S DRUG FLOOD OF THE U.S.: Liberty Unyielding’s Hans Bader tells us that not only is Afghanistan the world’s leading Opium producer, the Taliban is turning it into a leading source of Methamphetamine.

“For decades, the country has been a global hub for opium production, estimated to supply 80 percent of the world’s opiate users. Now its meth industry is growing at breakneck speed, stoking fears among Western experts and officials that, under the Taliban, Afghanistan could become a major supplier as demand rises globally,” Bader explains.

If you think the flood of Fentanyl unleashed on America by the Mexican drug cartels is bad, an epidemic of Meth use and deaths will be even worse.

TEXAS: Abbott Aide Now Soros Lobbyist. “If you wonder why conservative victories seem so few and far between sometimes, this story offers one explanation.”

AMERICAN LEFT’S MUSHROOM CLOUD: As the clamor and rancor from Democrats goes ever higher in response to The Leak at the Supreme Court, it is now clear that “we have reached the point that the left has decided that policy will not be made like sausage but through tantrum, intimidation, and riot,” opines Issues & Insights (I&I).

GOVERNMENT AS CREEPY STALKER: CDC Bought Harvested Phone Location Data to Track Covid Lockdown Compliance. “The CDC seems to have purposefully created an open-ended list of use cases, which included monitoring curfews, neighbor to neighbor visits, visits to churches, schools and pharmacies, and also a variety of analysis with this data specifically focused on ‘violence.’”

Maybe they’re so afraid of “violence” because in their hearts they think they deserve some. Or maybe because they’d respond to a Republican administration with violence.

BOB MCMANUS: It’s ridiculously hard to put people in jail in NYC. “Police say Edison Cruz of the Bronx has been trying hard to go to jail, which is not easy to do in New York City. He kept getting arrested and they kept letting him go and, so really, what’s an up-and-coming convict to do?”

Plus: “There is no hoarier cliché in the American conversation than ‘guns don’t kill, people do.’ But its depressing ubiquity doesn’t make it any less true. Thus, no gun-violence policy is going to succeed if it isn’t focused as squarely on criminals as it is on weapons.”
