The fact that former Vice President Joe Biden, now on his third try for the presidency, remains the last “moderate” standing says more about his now-vanquished rivals than about Biden. The same media that post running tabs on President Donald Trump’s “lies” ignore, downplay, or otherwise dismiss Biden’s gaffes, memory lapses, and frequent incoherence. He’s
“New tool” is the wrong phrase, I guess. The tool isn’t new. It’s value as an early detection system in the spread of a heretofore unknown deadly pathogen is what’s new. This is my favorite story of the day. Ed wrote about using smart technology to track coronavirus this morning too, with the feds attempting
(Pixabay) Support for direct cash payments in an unprecedented crisis doesn’t equal support for Yang’s massively expensive universal-basic-income plan. A key part of Congress’s fiscal response to the coronavirus crisis will almost certainly involve sending checks to most citizens across the country. On Monday, Senator Mitt Romney (R., Utah) proposed sending $1,000 to all American
Sen. Bernie Sanders addresses the media in Phoenix, Ariz., March 6, 2020. (Lucas Jackson/Reuters) Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) on Wednesday lashed out at CNN reporter Manu Raju after Raju asked after the senator’s campaign plans. “I’m dealing with a fucking global crisis. You know, we’re dealing with,” Sanders said when Raju asked if the
(Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) Congress has not yet gone far enough. Direct payments to families, a major tax cut, and easing the burden of rent payments are the necessary next steps. The Senate has just passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which is Phase Two of Congress’s efforts to protect Americans from the coronavirus. I expressed my

For the last three years, we have repeatedly heard from the left how President Trump is going to take away all our rights, and create a dictatorial, authoritarian regime. Even before he was inaugurated, riots began around the country protesting him and the destruction he would cause… a great irony given that these demonstrations were
After the last few days of general media dumbassery over whether to link COVID-19 to its place of origin, I’m surprised it’s this high. A new poll from Axios conducted by Ipsos shows that only half of the country trusts the news about the coronavirus pandemic coming from traditional media outlets. They trust the CDC far more,
(Joshua Roberts/Reuters) Congress on Wednesday sent a $104 billion aid package to President Trump’s desk even as lawmakers mull a third, broader stimulus plan to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and bring relief to sectors of the economy that have been battered by the resulting crisis. By a 90–8 vote, the Senate passed
Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks during the Democratic primary debate in Washington, D.C., March 15, 2020. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) He’s interested in his revolution and ideology, not in disqualifying the opponents who represent the system he would radically alter. The Bernie Sanders revolution is about to wind down and be sold for spare parts. This is happening
(James Lawler Duggan/Reuters) There is a frenzy of rule-making right now. Obviously, some of it is important as it may help calm American workers, business owners, and investors. But we should always remember that even in normal times, the government makes a lot of bad decisions. Emergencies and the resulting panic will not improve the

On the latest Watters’ World, Jesse Watters hit the streets to ask people what they know about Christopher Columbus.
If the NFL Has a Season… It is with indescribable joy that I am beginning this hump-day edition of the Morning Brief writing about something other than COVID-19, which, by the way, I spent part of Tuesday thinking I had. One trip out in public and I was imagining all kinds of things. I’ve been
I suppose we should have seen this one coming. With much of the nation on lockdown and travel to and from other countries being largely curtailed, far fewer people are flying. Also, trapping yourself in a closed cabin, tightly packed in with a hundred other people, any one of whom might be an asymptomatic carrier
The New York Times building, March 15, 2020 (Jeenah Moon/Reuters) Earlier this month in Politico, historian Leslie M. Harris wrote a bombshell piece that ultimately forced the New York Times to modify its vaunted 1619 Project. Harris claimed that Times fact-checkers reached out to her prior to the publication of the 1619 Project’s seminal essays
A “Bernie 2020” sign outside a polling place in Miami, Fla., 17, 2020 (Marco Bello/Reuters) The Bernie Sanders campaign released a statement saying the Vermont senator would “assess his campaign” in the wake of another disappointing primary night which saw Joe Biden further his delegate lead and all but secure his path to the nomination.
Joe Biden during a campaign event at Saint Augustine’s University in Raleigh, N.C., February 29, 2020 (Elizabeth Frantz/Reuters) A few days back, former vice president Joe Biden and Vermont senator Bernie Sanders engaged in their first one-on-one presidential-primary debate.

From the Fox News Republican debate, August 6, 2015.
“We don’t have any…!” Fill in the blank. People are stocking up on things, fearing that we will be stuck in our homes, under quarantine, without essential supplies. Some hoard toilet paper. A popular internet video features someone driving up to what appears to be a drug dealer but is really someone selling toilet paper.
My favorite part in reading up on this was finding some math-challenged lefties scolding Kamala Harris for the supposed stinginess of her own plan relative to Mitt’s. Romney the Republican wants to give everyone $1,000, as happened during the 2008 recession. Harris the Democrat only wants to give them $500! We cannot ignore the strain

Welcome to The Tuesday, brought to you, as always, from a state of pristine social isolation . . . Long Days I will get to my regular language thing below, but I begin with a note about the etymology of Lent, which is the ecclesiastical season we currently are in. Lent is a slightly mysterious word, but
A customer picks up some of the last toilet paper at a store in Dayton, Ohio, March 13, 2020. (Kyle Grillot/Reuters) Denying that a thing is worth what another person is willing to pay for it is like denying gravity. You, sir! You whose shopping cart squeals beneath the weight of half a dozen 48-packs
Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned that “civilization as we know it” is at risk in the 2020 election. She is right, but the threat to western civilization comes from her own side, not from President Donald Trump. “My view is that civilization as we know it is at stake,” Pelosi said. “It’s about
