#FIGHTFOR15: Philadelphia airport employs robot for contact-free food delivery. “The robot uses Bluetooth to follow an airport AtYourGate representative through the airport to the location specified by the customer, who can order their food from airport restaurants via OrderAtPHL.com.”

Prediction: The human representative won’t be needed for long.

TYLER O’NEIL: Book Warning Against Transgenderism Disappears From Amazon as Democrats Push Equality Act. “I only found out because people trying to buy it told me it was gone. And not just like it’s out of stock. The pages are down. You can’t buy a used copy. You can’t buy the Kindle [version]. You can’t get the Audible version. My publisher reached out yesterday for an explanation, and no response from Amazon yet.”

IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: Gravy Train Keeps Rolling for Second Stepdaughter Ella Emhoff. “Predictably, the media coverage of Emhoff’s overnight transition into a hipster fashion icon has been excessively fawning. The New York Times described her style as ‘Wes Anderson chic,’ which is just a fancy way of saying ‘rich and white.’ And yet, the fact that Emhoff has tattoos and doesn’t shave her armpits has compelled many to embrace her as a revolutionary figure bringing much-needed diversity to the fashion industry.”

VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Facilitated Migrants Are the New Caged Children.

Insanity Wrap needs to know: Does it take a magic wand to turn cages for children into facilities for migrants?

  • The questions about reparations none dare answer
  • Fredo Cuomo and Granny Killer Cuomo are the true victims
  • Biden HHS nom endorses sex changes for children

Bonus Sanity: Former Clinton advisor Naomi Wolf takes the red pill on lockdowns.

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

GRANNY-KILLER CUOMO: What We Know About Cuomo’s COVID-19 Cover-Up. “The cover-up may be worse than the crime, Dr. Joel Zinberg, a medical doctor, professor, and contributor to the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal, says of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s inaccurate reporting of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes in his state. “

WOEING: After Saturday’s engine failure, Boeing says many 777s should be grounded. “There are versions of the 777 aircraft with engines built by three different manufacturers. For about the last 15 years, new 777s have all been delivered with GE-made engines. So this recommendation applies to older models of the aircraft still in service.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Let’s Stop Pretending That Union Teachers Are Saints. “The unions have been delaying the reopening of schools by demanding a variety of things that don’t have anything to do with educating your children. And despite the fact that there is SCIENCE proving that school kids aren’t spreading the ‘rona, teachers are acting as if they’re marching to their deaths if they go back into the classrooms.”

VDH: Is the Biden Administration Stumbling Into War?

So wars are deterred when all the potential players know the relative strengths of each and the relative willingness to use such power in defense of a nation’s interests. Lack of such knowledge leads to dangerous misjudgments. And war then becomes a grotesque foreordained laboratory experiment to confirm what should have been known in advance.

Wars begin when aggressive powers believe that their targets are weaker, or give the false impression that they are weaker, or at least stay inert in the face of provocation. What were Argentina’s generals or Saddam Hussein thinking when they provoked the United Kingdom or the United States during the Falkland War and First Gulf War? No doubt, they assumed that their more powerful targets were too busy elsewhere, played out, or insufficiently concerned to react. In aggregate, a lot of damage and death followed in those two respective brief wars of 1982 and 1991—and all to prove what should have been obvious.

Perhaps Buenos Aires had one too many times read of British parliamentarians referencing the “Malvinas” rather than the Falkland Islands. Or Saddam remembered too well the United States Ambassador to Iraq naïvely voicing uninterest in 1990 “border” disputes between quarreling Arab neighbors—perhaps in the manner of Dean Acheson’s controversial speech in January 1950 to the effect that South Korea was probably not inside the U.S. defensive orbit abroad and thus made a previously hesitant Stalin, Mao, and Kim Il-sung a little less hesitant.
