VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Who Hates America More, Protestors in Iran or Minnesota?

Insanity Wrap needs to know: When you see “Death to Amerika” graffiti, what city, anywhere in the world, do you assume you’re in?

Answer: If you said, “Somewhere in America run by Democrats,” so did we.

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

  • We followed the COVID-19 science so you don’t have to (but should anyway)
  • In-app purchases coming to sexbots
  • There’s nothing funny about Kamala Harris, especially her jokes

Bonus Sanity: Parents revolt against woke “education.”

And so much more at the link, you’d have to be crazy to miss it.

HMM: Amazon’s first Internet satellites will not launch on Blue Origin rockets.

The announcement provides concrete evidence that the ambitious Internet-from-space project is making progress. It is also notable for the choice of launch vehicle—Amazon is not employing the New Glenn rocket, which is under development by Jeff Bezos’ rocket company, Blue Origin.

Amazon did not say when the first launch will occur, but the company said it had contracted with United Launch Alliance for nine launches to begin building out its constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit. A spokesman declined to say how many of the satellites each Atlas V rocket would be capable of launching.

In a blog post, Amazon said it had chosen ULA’s Atlas V rocket for its high reliability.

That’s a nice win for ULA, but a helluva miss for Blue Origin.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: I’ve Known Maxine Waters Is Evil for a Very Long Time. “Blaming ‘rhetoric’ for violence has long been their thing. These are the lunatics who tried to blame a target on political literature for Jared Loughner shooting Gabby Giffords, after all. In their tiny minds, however, it’s only Republicans who have inflammatory rhetoric. They’ve been lying about Trump since Jan. 6th and now they’re running cover for Waters’s actually inflammatory words.”

“COMPLIANCE” ISN’T WHAT PARLER IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT: Parler Is Coming Back to Apple’s App Store. “In the period since Apple removed the Parler app from the App Store, Apple’s App Review Team has engaged in substantial conversations with Parler in an effort to bring the Parler app into compliance with the Guidelines and reinstate it in the App Store.”

DIGITAL THUGGERY: Crowdfunding Data Breach Triggers Witch Hunt Against Cops Who Support Kyle Rittenhouse. “A data breach at the Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo has revealed the identities of law enforcement personnel who contributed to the legal defense fund for Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old boy who opened fire amid the chaos of riots in Kenosha, Wisc., seemingly in self-defense. The Guardian contacted the employers of cops who dared to contribute to Rittenhouse in an apparent attempt to get them fired.”

VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Meet Joe Biden’s CCP-Connected Ambassador to China.

Insanity Wrap needs to know: Ever heard the old story where the SecState asks his new ambassador to point on the globe which country they’ll represent at their new post, and when they point to Germany or wherever, the SecState corrects them by pointing to the US?

Answer: Neither does Nick Burns.

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

  • Being Livid Marxists is the new BLM (the old one, too)
  • Facebook’s private police force is half the size of the SFPD
  • Come see the anti-Asian racism inherent in the leftism
