There is just so much news these days and so little time to digest it. Here’s a dose of written Pepto Bismol to help break it all down quickly and ease the digestive process.
The News: Joe Biden, appearing on a CNN town hall earlier this week replete with incomprehensible bon mots from him, at one point recounted waking up every day in the White House and inquiring of his wife, DR. JILL BIDEN!!!!!!! “Where the hell are we?”
The Views: This is further evidence that not much has changed with Biden, unfortunately. Imagine the rest of us waking up and wondering, how the hell did he (they) end up in the White House?
The News: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is under fire for he and/or his staff allegedly hiding information about COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes in his state. The FBI, taking a break from persecuting conservatives, reportedly is looking into the matter.
The Views: If you’re thinking that Cuomo might be asked to return his Emmy, received for his great COVID-19 television briefings, guess again.
The News: Texas appears to be the worst example of southern states freezing as dramatic cold weather has crippled power grids, in part because windmills are frozen and solar panels aren’t functioning as expected.
The Views: Texans are leading the way in discovering how the United States is headed to the dark ages – pun intended – if the Green New Deal twerps get their way. Alternative power sources work great, as long as the demand is low and the weather never deviates from the norm. Comforting.
The News: California and Florida have taken polar opposite approaches to dealing with COVID-19. California treats citizens like criminals, with arbitrary lockdowns for the masses, but special treatment of the elites. Florida, meanwhile, is open for business. And the results are: Florida is doing marginally better – adjusted for population — in terms of virus deaths and infections.
The Views: Biden COVID advisor Andy Slavitt, during an appearance on left-wing cable news, stumbled, no doubt partly in surprise that friends would bring this up, and partly because the facts don’t support the dictatorial approach preferred by Biden and friends. Slavitt characterized the curious case of Florida doing better than California as “a little bit beyond our explanation.” A little bit? You think?
The News: Dr. Tony Fauci, AKA The Mask Nazi, does more flip flops than an Olympic gymnast. Of late the good doctor has opined that wearing masks is necessary even after receiving the COVID vaccine and in the recent past he has said wearing two more more masks is better than just one. This from a guy who used to say masks did no good.
The View: Unfortunately, Fauci would like you to wear the second mask (face diaper) over your eyes, so as to render you unable to read reports of his inconsistent utterances. Tell it to Florida, Dr. Fauci.
The News: In the era of defunding police, murder rates have skyrocketed in the United States, and predictably the leaders both in total numbers and percentage increases, are cities under Democratic control.
The Views: But fear not because Los Angeles, sixth among U.S. cities in terms of 2020 homicides, has a school district that is defunding school police and will replace the cops with “climate coaches.” That should put a brake on the murder rates.
The News: Conservative icon and radio legend Rush Limbaugh has died of cancer.
The Views: Social media was clogged with compassionate leftists rushing to post their celebration of Limbaugh’s death. Should conservatives cheer the death of a prominent liberal, they would be excoriated – rightly so – for their insensitivity. When leftists do this it’s perfectly acceptable and if you take offense to it, well, you’re just fighting their push for unity because you’re a bitter deplorable clinging to guns and religion.
And you probably don’t wear two masks, either!
