This is satire, but is it?

There are important lessons here about relying on academic models to predict future results and using those predictions to make public policy. It does not work. Think climate change.

Release all the documents

White House hints that under new intel chief, more Michael Flynn intel documents could be released “One of the things the president has asked for is ‘Where are the 302s, the summaries of that interview with Michael Flynn?’ “

Biden looking frail, confused, old.

He has chosen to put himself in the political arena. He is running to be the leader of the free world. He is constantly criticizing Trump. He has to anticipate critical analysis of every thing he does.

Here is my analysis of his physical condition. He is not capable of being president. I don’t think he is capable of walking out of his house and driving himself to the market. I am starting to think he will not be the Democrat nominee.

Update: I watched some other videos from the same venue where he does not look so bad. Still, I question whether he can make it through the election let alone 4 years as president of the United States.

Adam Housley, McMaster implicated in Obamagate

H.R. McMaster. That is hard for me to believe. In fact, I don’t and won’t until I see proof.

If it is true, it is heart breaking. How could that guy have gone so wrong?

Kayleigh McEnany kicks media butt and its glorious

Liberal Media Scream: Media bigs tell Kayleigh McEnany don’t you dare challenge us

This is the clip that is driving old-guard media personalities into distraction:

The reason the old-guard media are so upset, is that McEnany is on the truth and calling them out for their failures on national television. They have no response except petulance.

Ann Althouse on Trump vs. Biden virus response moving forward

“…The Biden side is banking on a relapse — a new, big spike in deaths. They’ll have to guard against letting their macabre enthusiasm show. If they don’t get that horrible wish, then they’re hoping people will want to maintain an inert holding pattern and accept delaying the economic comeback. Trump is planning to emphasize his contrast with that depressing position. And presumably the Democrats will portray his optimism as dangerous idiocy…”

Good news on Covid-19, bad news on the virus response from our government scientists

The CDC’s New ‘Best Estimate’ Implies a COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate Below 0.3%

That rate is much lower than the numbers used in the horrifying projections that shaped the government response to the epidemic.

Seth Barrett Tillman on Judge Sullivan

Will anyone in the media inquire from: Judge Sullivan, John Gleeson, Beth Wilkinson, and the Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, and ask:

If Gleeson’s work and Wilkinson’s work is pro bono or paid?

If paid, then paid by whom?—Sullivan or the Treasury (or other)?

If the Treasury, then through what fund or under what specific legal authority?

Original

As near as I can tell, Judge Sullivan hiring a lawyer to represent him before the circuit court and explain his actions is highly unusual. This does not appear to be an amicus situation and the circuit court specifically requested that Judge Sullivan himself appear before them. This seems to me like Sullivan has hired an attorney because he feels personal exposure over his handling of the case including his antics in the court room. It also seems like Judge Sullivan has some personal involvement in the outcome of the case and does not trust himself to go before the circuit court and argue his position without getting emotional and revealing his bias.

This is a black eye for our legal system and hints at larger problems lurking below the lens of public observation.
