VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: The Morbid Truth About COVID-19 Deaths.
Insanity Wrap needs to know: Why can’t government officials talk honestly about COVID morbidity?
Answer: Because being held accountable for more than 30 years of bad policy would really suck for them.
Before we get to the sordid details, a quick preview of today’s Wrap.

DAVID HARSANYI: Biden Is Off to a Disastrous Start.
What else can the president control? Nationalizing elections isn’t the president’s job. Controlling the southern border is. Yet, when Biden isn’t blaming Donald Trump or seasonal migration patterns for the crisis on the border, he’s pretending nothing is wrong.
There were 178,622 apprehensions on the border in April, according to Customs and Border Protection — the highest total in more than two decades. To put the number in context, last April, there were 17,106 apprehensions.
The president can’t control the movement of migrants outside our borders. But Biden helped trigger this crisis by, among other things, undoing the Trump administration’s “public-charge” policies that barred immigrants from participating in welfare programs and rolling back the “remain in Mexico” policy that impelled migrants to wait in Mexico while their claims were being adjudicated. Moreover, most modern Democrats talk about laws that govern illegal immigration and border control as inherently racist and unnecessary. All of this incentivizes the anarchy we’re seeing at the border.
Demanding we wear masks isn’t the president’s job. Conducting foreign policy is. And since Biden took the reins, the Middle East has dramatically destabilized.
But other than that, how did you enjoy the first 100 days, Mr. Harsanyi?
YOUR NEWS MEDIA INACTION: Israel Showed U.S. Officials ‘Smoking Gun’ Evidence of Hamas Operating in AP Building. “AP knew that Hamas was there. They just chose not to report it.”
HE ALSO GOT THOUSANDS OF ELDERLY PEOPLE NEEDLESSLY INFECTED AND KILLED: Governor Cuomo exempts faculty and staff from COVID vaccine mandate on public campuses. “College students at the State University of New York system and the City University of New York system will be required to receive a COVID vaccine in order to learn on campus, under a new directive from Governor Andrew Cuomo. However, the Democratic governor did not mandate the vaccine for faculty and staff, even though older people are more likely to die and suffer severe cases of COVID than generally younger college students.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Israel Could Use a Real American President Right Now. “The world certainly does seem to be unraveling during this time that the United States is going without a grown-up president, doesn’t it? I don’t know about all of you, but I thought it was super cool when Donald Trump was president and there was peace in the Middle East. We were enjoying those halcyon days mere months ago, but it seems like years.”
CHANGE MORE OF THE SAME: Biden revokes Trump-era executive order on online censorship and Section 230. “Biden isn’t a fan of Section 230, either. In January 2020, then candidate Biden told the New York Times that Section 230 should be revoked due to the spread of misinformation. But the administration hasn’t taken any action on the subject, having other more pressing issues like the pandemic.”
YES, BUT THEY’RE UP-TO-DATE ON DIVERSITY AND SENSITIVITY TRAINING: Despite Promises, USS Ford Heads To Shock Trials With 4 Broken Elevators. “U.S. Navy leaders have repeatedly assured Congress and the public that the USS Ford would be ready before the forthcoming shock trials. But with four of the USS Ford’s seven critical lower-stage weapons elevators still unready for service, naval credibility is at stake. If the shock trials go forward, testing an incomplete ship, the Navy stands to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fully validate the battle-hardiness of America’s future carrier fleet in real-world conditions.”
HAVING CHILDREN IS A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FOR THE FUTURE: Denver’s elementary enrollment is falling. “Denver Public Schools was once the fastest-growing urban school district in the country. But several years ago, enrollment began to plateau. While middle and high school enrollment held steady or even grew, elementary enrollment began to fall. District officials pointed to declining birth rates and rising housing prices pushing families out of the city. Neighboring school districts including Aurora and Jeffco face similar challenges.”
VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Literally Everything Is Going to Hell… Who Wants a Drink?
Insanity Wrap needs to know: We have at least 44 more months of either Biden or Harris — is that more day-drinking than the human liver can endure?
Answer: Let’s find out.
Before we get to the sordid details, a quick preview of today’s Wrap.

WHAT A RIDE: SpaceX plans to send Starship to Hawaii via space. “An upcoming Starship prototype, paired with a Super Heavy booster, will blast off from the SpaceX development site in Boca Chica, Texas. Super Heavy would then separate and land, perhaps on a ship, off shore while Starship continues on to orbit, flying east all the way to Hawaii for a splashdown in the Pacific. The entire flight, from liftoff to splashdown, is expected to last 90 minutes.”
