THE BUREAUCRATIC MENTALITY IS THE ONLY CONSTANT IN THE UNIVERSE: How Was Dr. Fauci Put in Charge Based on His Historical Performance During the HIV Epidemic?

IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: Granholm’s Green Energy Millions. “On Wednesday, Granholm confirmed she earned a $1.6 million profit on her shares of Proterra amid a firestorm over her financial ties to an electric vehicle company repeatedly promoted by the Biden administration. In selling off her shares, Granholm was able to defer paying capital gains taxes on the $1.6 million sale because cabinet officials are not penalized with the tax on assets they are required to sell as a condition of joining the administration. The Biden administration is seeking to raise the capital gains tax on America’s wealthiest families.”

GLEICHSCHALTUNG: ‘Systemic Racism’ Smuggles Its Way Into 127 TV Episodes.

POSTMODERN WARFARE: Israel’s operation against Hamas was the world’s first AI war.

Soldiers in Unit 8200, an Intelligence Corps elite unit, pioneered algorithms and code that led to several new programs called “Alchemist,” “Gospel” and “Depth of Wisdom,” which were developed and used during the fighting.

Collecting data using signal intelligence (SIGINT), visual intelligence (VISINT), human intelligence (HUMINT), geographical intelligence (GEOINT) and more, the IDF has mountains of raw data that must be combed through to find the key pieces necessary to carry out a strike.

“Gospel” used AI to generate recommendations for troops in the research division of Military Intelligence, which used them to produce quality targets and then passed them on to the IAF to strike.

Impressive.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Anthony Fauci Is Unhinged, Untrustworthy, and Unqualified. “Only in a — you guessed it — bloated bureaucracy can someone who screws up on such a grand scale be given even more power even though there was no indication that he learned anything from earlier mistakes.”

DON’T BE EVIL: Google is now embroiled in a full class-action lawsuit over whether it underpaid women.

IT USUALLY IS: You Knew DOJ’s Kristen Clarke Was a Radical, But It’s Much, Much Worse Than They’re Letting On.

KIRA DAVIS: The Unbearable Whiteness (and Hypocrisy) of Critical Race Theory. “Blaming ‘whiteness’ is big business. It seems Slater is doing nothing but perpetuating her own guilt. She has nothing to lose by degrading her race (which she did not choose and cannot unchoose). It has cost her nothing while she complains about what systemic racism has cost Black America. She still has her job, her benefits, her power, her prestige and now she has a few pats on the back. She’s given nothing up.”

TYLER O’NEIL: Biden’s ATF Nominee Wants to Ban ‘Assault Weapons’ and His Definition Is Terrifyingly Broad.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Biden is surrendering to Iran.

The Trump administration took a totally different approach that started with viewing each piece of the Middle East puzzle – allies and adversaries alike – as it was, with clear eyes. This clarity empowered policy makers to take bold steps to support our friends and to deter our enemies.

Alarmists, including current Secretary of State Antony Blinken, warned that delivering on a decades-old promise to move the US embassy to Jerusalem would set fire to a regional tinderbox. Many of the same detractors said taking Iranian terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani off the battlefield would spark a war.

In both cases, the opposite happened. Our potential partners, Arabs and Jews alike, saw that it was possible to break out of antiquated molds and approach old problems with new ideas – and would-be troublemakers realized there were real consequences to malign actions.

But rather than building on this foundation for stability, the Biden administration has inexplicably reverted to the failed, chaos-sowing policies of the past, especially when it comes to the Middle East’s leading patron of terror: Iran.

What’s worse is that supposed tough-guy Biden surrendered preemptively.

I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ONE MORE DAMN WORD FROM THE LEFT ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY: Biden Will Propose a $6 TRILLION Budget in 2022, Rising to $8.2 TRILLION By 2030.

THE ENEMY WITHIN: Contracts reveal US universities ‘must’ accept CCP’s ‘assessment’ on ‘teaching quality’ at Confucius Institutes. “Six university agreements contained language that gave the Chinese Communist Party a level of control over the curriculum taught within the Confucius Institute.”

It’s no surprise that certain American institutions are up for sale. The only shocker is just how cheaply they can be had.

VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Andrew Cuomo Won’t Resign, Says to Decency: DROP DEAD!

Insanity Wrap needs to know: What would a decent person do, besieged on all sides by women he harassed and the corpses of people he got killed?

Answer: Whatever it is Cuomo isn’t doing.

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

GEE, THANKS: Facebook Decides to Finally Let You Say Something Previously Verboten About COVID.

THE THREAT WITHIN: Vets Battle Critical Race Theory Invasion of Military. “There’s a culture of fear within the military now. On the one hand, it’s okay to cheer on Black Lives Matter [on a military base], but if you speak out against this Marxist ideology you’ll be relieved of your duties. Ask yourself, ‘Is this what China and Russia are concerned about?'”

I’d say that Beijing and Russia can’t believe their good fortune, except that they paid cash up front for some of it.

STACEY LENNOX: Here’s the Most Interesting Thing in the CDC Data About Post-Vaccine COVID Breakthrough Infections. “I have been railing against the context-less reporting of death counts since the beginning of the pandemic. While writing for another outlet, I noted the bizarre instructions issued by the National Center for Health Statistics after CNN reporter Jim Acosta called any questioning of the counts a conspiracy theory. If Acosta is attacking an idea, there is almost certainly some truth to it. As testing protocols blossomed to the point where every inpatient received one, and the number of asymptomatic individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 became clear, there was even more reason to question the counts.”

I was writing about this a year ago, and all it achieved was to get people’s ability to share and discuss it throttled by Facebook.

JUST ANOTHER DEVELOPING CRISIS-BY-DESIGN: House Republicans Probe Biden Admin for Ignoring Syria Sanctions To Appease Iran. “They also demand to know whether the administration has held talks about lifting sanctions on the Assad regime. This includes potentially issuing waivers to exempt the Syrian regime from crippling sanctions. Waivers also are being used to unwind pressure on Iran.”
