KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: The Border Nightmare Is Team Biden’s Only ‘Accomplishment.’ “During his masked fetish party speech the other night our national embarrassment never really got around to the border crisis that he’s created. I’m fully aware that liberals in America don’t care about border issues, especially those who live far, far away from Mexico. I live 60 miles from the Mexican border though, so it’s kind of a big deal here.”

LOCKDOWN HANGOVER: Lack of tanker truck drivers could lead to gas shortages this summer.

Industry group National Tank Truck Carriers said nearly 20% to $25% of tank trucks aren’t being used right now as there are not enough qualified drivers available. The year before the pandemic struck, that number was only at 10%.

The problem reportedly became magnified last year when Americans weren’t driving due to the coronavirus pandemic shutdowns, and gas stations just didn’t need as much gas. This meant truck drivers weren’t getting enough work and many chose to leave the business.

Also adding to the challenges is that the job requires a special certification and a certain amount of training. During the pandemic, many of the truck training programs were also shut down.

This would be a great time for some serious deregulation and tax breaks to get our energy infrastructure working again, but Joe Biden will make sure that we get slow-moving government programs and a lot of “green” nonsense instead.

VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Pelosi Prefers Chinese Communists to American Conservatives.

Insanity Wrap needs to know: What do you call it when Nancy Pelosi pulls House media credentials from an American news outlet, but lets two Communist Chinese propaganda mouthpieces keep theirs?

Answer: We’d call it a tell, but it’s nothing you needed telling.

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

BLUE ON BLUE: Former Obama Administration Scientist Trashes Biden’s Climate ‘Hysteria.’

CHRISTIAN TOTO: ‘Entourage’ Creator Shares Why ‘Righteous PC Culture’ Is a Fraud. “Yes, Tony Soprano can whack a dozen competitors without the woke mob assembling, but an agent treating his staff poorly is now beyond the cultural pale. It’s why Steve Carell has said NBC couldn’t make ‘The Office’ today. His character is too cold and cruel to his subordinates, and that’s suddenly a no-no.”

Message: It isn’t OK to hurt people’s feelings, but it is OK to murder the right people.

THAT’S TRUE ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS: Joe Biden Proved He Doesn’t Understand the Purpose of the 2nd Amendment.

HOMELESSNESS: Blighted San Francisco Diagnoses Its ‘Perilous Trifecta’ — and Bungles the Cure.

In the past, the solution to this paradox was compulsion. The state took custody of the “gravely disabled” and treated them in long-term residential institutions. However, with the exposure of civil rights abuses and the release of Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” the United States gradually dismantled its mental health system, reducing the number of mental health beds per capita by an astonishing 95% between 1955 and 2016. Today, California has fewer beds per capita than the national average, with San Francisco having only 219 adult psychiatric beds available at a given time — drastically insufficient for the number of people in need.

Although Mayor Breed has tentatively moved towards a return to short-term “conservatorships,” a form of involuntary commitment for individuals who present a grave danger to themselves or others, the plan has neither the scope nor the force to significantly reduce the numbers of the perilous trifecta. Because of pressure from disability activists and the ACLU, which have called conservatorships “the greatest deprivation of civil liberties aside from the death penalty,” the plan is limited to individuals who have had eight or more involuntary psychiatric holds in the past year, which, in practice, would mean less than 100 people citywide.

The writing was on the wall when I left San Francisco in the mid-’90s, and politically the city has moved far left from even where it was back then.

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: How Hard Is It to Get a Concealed Handgun License in Portland? Let Me Count the Ways. “I had no real sense of urgency, and I’ve gone this long without my concealed handgun license, so I didn’t sweat the wait too much. It did make me wonder, though, what if you’re in a higher-crime neighborhood watching the crime rate skyrocket throughout Portland, as response times increase in direct proportion to how much city council has defunded the police? What if you’re in an abusive relationship, need a restraining order, and know that the police can’t protect you? What if you are worried about exploding gang violence? Any number of scenarios could give a Portland resident pause to consider carrying a handgun.”

SPACE RACE II: China is set to launch first module of massive space station. “After the core module reaches space, China plans at least 10 more launches of other major modules, as well as crewed and cargo missions, to complete the station’s assembly by the end of 2022. At that time the CSS will join the International Space Station (ISS) as the only fully operational space stations in orbit.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Biden’s Joint Session Mask Fetish Party Was Totally Creepy. “The mask virtue signaling in a room full of socially-distanced people who are all vaccinated was pathetic. It was also proof that the big idea, big government Dems know that they really have nothing going on and they have to keep the public distracted by the COVID panic porn.”
