WHAT ISN’T ABOUT HIM? Joe Biden Often Brags About ‘Good Sex’ With Dr. Jill. That Could Be a Sign of Dementia.
HOW IT STARTED: How Joe Biden Is Positioning Himself as a Modern FDR.
—Time magazine, October 28th, 2020.
How it’s going: Why did Biden ignore the Italian internment camps in the US?
On Feb. 19, Biden issued a statement acknowledging the horrors associated with Roosevelt’s executive order from 1942. He mentioned the Japanese and acknowledged the injustices they suffered as a result. Unfortunately, he said nothing about the people of Italian descent who were also forced into internment camps.
“On this day in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which led to the forcible incarceration of over 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent — half of whom were children,” Biden’s statement read. “It was shameful. Families were separated. Communities were torn apart. People were stripped of their dignity. And the unconstitutional and unconscionable policy was even upheld by the Supreme Court.”
However, unfortunately, Biden used the commemoration to continue his web of political deceit. Instead of acknowledging all of the people affected, he made no mention of the Italians who also suffered from Roosevelt’s decision. It was an unnecessary and offensive snub by the leader of the free world who, just a few months earlier, expressed his admiration and respect for Italians.
“I decided to run for President to restore the soul of America. To confront racism, xenophobia, and hate in all its forms. To strengthen and preserve our democracy. We remember the tragic legacy of Executive Order 9066 — and the trauma it inflicted — by reaffirming the Federal Government’s formal apology to Japanese Americans.”
This is all hyperbole, of course. The only thing Biden did to America’s soul was further corrupt it with the toxicity of left-wing political ideals. Nevertheless, there was no reason not to acknowledge the Italians who were placed in internment camps. There isn’t any objection to condemning what Japanese people endured. It was wrong for innocent Japanese people to be put in camps. They suffered an injustice. However, so did the Italians, who experienced the same thing.
Approximately 600,000 Italians and Italian Americans, many of whom were legal residents and even U.S. citizens, were categorized as “enemy aliens” by January 1942. After Executive Order 9066, the U.S. government ordered around 1,600 Italian citizens into internment camps around the country. Two of the most well-known camps were in Missoula, Montana, and Ellis Island, New York. Additionally, due to concerns over espionage and national security fears of attacks along the coast, about 10,000 Italian Americans were forced to relocate from their homes and move inland. Yet, apparently, the injustices they suffered didn’t matter to Biden.

OPEN THREAD: Comment away.
SPACE: FAA to establish committee to refine launch licensing regulations. “In a speech at the FAA Commercial Space Transportation Conference here Feb. 21, Kelvin Coleman, FAA associate administrator for commercial space transportation, said the agency would establish an aerospace rulemaking committee, or SpARC, to find ways to streamline launch and reentry licensing regulations that went into effect nearly three years ago.”
FOLLOW THE SCIENCE: We’re Not Curing Cancer Here, Guys. Are leading scientists just making stuff up? Vinay Prasad breaks down the cancer research scandal. “Most papers, though, do not contain images. The data is all hidden. The researchers only provide a summary of the data. You have to worry how much fraud you’d find if everybody provided all the raw data. I suspect you’d find a gargantuan amount of fraud. This is merely the tip of the iceberg. . . . Scientific papers are like someone’s dating profile on an app. They’re picking what pictures to show you and what stories to tell you. You don’t get to see the whole library of photos on their phone. Researchers are only presenting a sliver of what they’ve actually done. And just like a dating app on your phone, everything is inaccurate.”

NEWS YOU CAN USE: If Someone Asks Whether You’re a ‘Christian Nationalist,’ What Should You Say?
If someone actually asks you whether you are a “Christian Nationalist,” there are several things you could say — depending on whether you thought the person sincerely confused or deluded, or instead was trying to trap you as the Pharisees tried to trap Jesus. Here are a few sample responses, for use in different contexts, to the question, “Are you a … Christian Nationalist?”
- “Are you a pagan globalist? Just wondering.”
- “That’s a hate-mongering dog-whistle, like Josef Goebbels’ made-up slur ‘Judeo-Bolshevik.’ Would you ask a Jewish person if he were one of those?”
- “I believe that Natural Law, revealed to everyone Christian or not, ought to undergird all our laws. I learned that from reading Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail.’ Do you think he was wrong? The Nazis did. They persecuted people for promoting Natural Law.”
- “I’m a patriotic Christian, like George Washington, Franklin Roosevelt, Billy Graham, and Pope John Paul II. What do you think I should be instead?”

FLORIDA LEGISLATURE PASSES ‘BAN’ ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR UNDER-16 KIDS. This seems obviously unconstitutional, and DeSantis may not sign it. But man, as a parent of teens, I can tell you that the peer pressure on your kids to get on these platforms (and expose themselves to the destructive behavior of other kids) is intense. It would be wise for the big platforms to make it much easier for parents to regulate this stuff, because that’s far preferable to the law stepping in.
