TO BE FAIR, I SUPPOSE THAT’S UNITY OF SOME KIND OR OTHER: To Insults Of U.S. Troops, Biden Administration Adds Forcing Female Soldiers To Shower With Men.
DARK MONEY IS ONLY BAD WHEN REPUBLICANS SPEND IT: Schumer’s Dark Money Group Increased Election Spending by 825% in 2020 Cycle.
AS FORETOLD BY THE PROPHECIES AND THE ENTIRE RIGHT-LEANING BLOGOSPHERE: Media May Ignore It, but Biden Presidency Is Already Radical. “The goal for the establishment media isn’t to point out merely that Biden is a sort of American Everyman. It’s to use that supposed normalcy to disguise the fact that his agenda is absolutely abnormal.”
Well, it’s certainly un- and even anti-American, which is nothing new for the Left — only the scale of it under Biden.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Sycophant Press Can’t Cover for Biden’s Opening Train Wreck. “We’re soon going to need NASA computers to track the number of executive orders issuing forth from the puppet president. It’s no big secret that conservative folks like me aren’t thrilled with any of them. It would seem, however, that Biden may be doing some bipartisan stepping on of the toes.”
GOOD: Intel’s Incoming CEO Gelsinger Lures Back Engineering Talent.
Sunil Shenoy will rejoin Intel as senior vice president of the Design Engineering group effective Feb. 1, the Santa Clara, California-based company said in a statement Wednesday. When he left in 2014, Shenoy was head of Intel’s platform engineering group, a narrower role to the one he’s assuming now.
Glenn Hinton, a former Intel Senior Fellow who led the development of a key chip design, also returned to the company recently in a senior engineering role. Shenoy and Hinton will report to outgoing CEO Bob Swan until the middle of February, and then to Gelsinger who officially rejoins Intel on Feb. 15.
Gelsinger, who previously spent 30 years at Intel, said he’s bringing back the style of management he learned from the founders, notably Andy Grove. Before Swan, Intel had always been run by home-grown executives who were adherents to Grove’s data-driven decision making and direct, sometimes confrontational, internal communication aimed at ensuring problems were never buried.
Intel’s fabrication prowess was half of its secret sauce, but in the last few years the company’s fabs have fallen a generation or more behind Taiwan Semi.
While it’s nice that TSMC is building a new fab in Arizona, for competitive and national security reasons it’s vital that Intel get its mojo back.
And if that sounds paranoid, well… only the paranoid survive.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS IS AN OBJECTION TO GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY: Biden DHS Issues Domestic Terror Alert Warning of ‘Objections’ to ‘Governmental Authority.’
IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: Move over granny; press, politicians jump vaccine line.
My folks have gone without the greatest joy of their lives, time with family. And the caretakers they need to come to their home have been severely limited. If family shouldn’t visit them then certainly strangers shouldn’t. Their quality of life has suffered.
As I write this neither of my parents have been able to get a COVID vaccine. And not for lack for constantly trying.
My son who has Down syndrome and an underlying heart condition — he required open heart surgery at 3 weeks old — hasn’t received a vaccine.
So, who has had access to a vaccine? Our state legislators. Yep. State legislators can jump in front of the most vulnerable people in the state including the elderly and handicapped.
So much for a “citizen” legislature. All people are equal. But some are more equal than others.
Read the whole thing.

Good stuff from Christian Toto.
MUST NOT BUT STILL MIGHT: Biden must not remove Huawei from the entities list.
Nominated by President Biden to serve as commerce secretary, Raimondo was asked by Sen. Ted Cruz whether she would commit to keeping Huawei on the so-called entities list. That trade blacklist bans U.S. commercial dealings with those on it. Huawei was added to the list under the Trump administration. Unfortunately, Raimondo pledged only to consult with Cruz and the Senate on the question of Huawei’s future status.
Raimondo might be acting under explicit instructions from the White House not to offer any China commitments, but the former Rhode Island governor’s response is ridiculous regardless. Huawei’s status should have been an easy answer for the Biden administration.
Not good.

JOANNE JACOBS: Why Johnny can’t read any more. “For parents who rely on public schools to teach reading, the Covid lockdown has been a ‘wrecking ball,’ writes Carr. ‘Most children with severe reading difficulties need individual or small-group instruction to improve.’ Few parents have the specialized training to teach dyslexic children at home.”
