Well, a couple things. 1) Israel basically said, old people first, but if the vaccine is about to expire, anyone can get it, and 2) governors / locals didn’t want to take the same approach. In fact, NY and CA both stated by executive order that there would be fines and license revocations for people who didn’t administer the vaccines according to schedule, then enacted all sorts of byzantine standards for administration. Add onto that licensing requirements, and boom, barely any vaccines get distributed.
The tranching out of covid vaccine has been disastrous. Here's what should happen immediately:
1. Stop stockpiling second doses. It's insane. More doses are coming, and the first dose provides some level of protection.— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) January 4, 2021
He’s right here. This is ridiculous. The more people, based on risk profile, vaccinated, the better. No dose should be wasted, and more vaccinations is better than no vaccination.
San Diego used to be a conservative / Republican town because of the heavy naval presence. Now it’s a battleground, with the school system getting rid of grades because they are racist?
As for why Seattle and Portland allow CHAZ related anarchy, it’s because their voting bases have elected explicitly anti-police leaders. They’ve changed the rules of engagement (with Ted Wheeler taking over the police department), and as a result, de-escalation and appeasement are the priority. What happens when you appease any group that wants to seize power? They seize more power. At some point, the neighborhoods demand eviction, and then a painful balancing / negotiation occurs.
Here’s a fun analysis of why this is all happening.

It’s because journalists and activists are in their own self-justifying echo chamber.
Oh my lord has this tweet taken off. Allow me to clarify.
Pence was not wrong to say 2.1M ppl = millions. I shouldn't have said "not true." That's my bad.
I should have said "overstatement." The millions he's talking about is barely over 2M. Hence the link to CDC data.
Fin.

I’m assuming this is for staff salaries, not for Congress (they can’t raise their pay without an intervening election). But there’s a LOT of pork in this bill.
Back in the good ol’ days, the media would have been all over the pork, but today… they won’t report on it, leaving it for people to get outraged on Twitter (and some congressmen and congresswomen to tweet about it). They’re setting us up to accept “modern monetary theory” and make government such a large part of our economy, that politics will consume our lives.
Amazon inks lobbying deal with Ricchetti Inc., the firm co-founded by Biden's incoming White House counselor, Steve Ricchetti.
This is Ricchetti Inc's 10th new lobbying client this year. They had booked just 1 from '16-'19. https://t.co/Ttadt86Ddm

Huh. It’s as if big tech knows how a Biden administration will work. This lobbying firm is suddenly awash in clients.
How come so many huge corporations are hiring a previously obscure lobbying firm co-founded by the brother of a key Biden WH official? Does anyone have any speculation about why this might be happening? https://t.co/9hYkiRQdaG

Amazing.
The story is relevant to lame duck activity because 1) there’s a potential Special Counsel appointment, and 2) the difference in media coverage / high tech suppression of the story will demonstrate that the media and the tech companies actively interfered in an election. Furthermore, it looks like the media will basically take a nap for a few years as it takes PR / damage control narratives from the DNC.
[quote quote=4010]\I’m not sure what Hunter Biden has to do with this, but it is not surprising that his name gets dropped in a response to a thread about Trump. Can’t let an opportunity go by without mentioning Hunter Biden. [/quote]
Hunter Biden is accused of selling access and influence. Why is he relevant? Because he is accused of selling access to, and the influence of… Joe Biden. Not just selling access and influence, but selling access and influence to China, and committing actual interference with the Ukrainian justice system. There is evidence for this, and it was suppressed by the media and Big Tech.

I expect he will continue to work until the end. The media will make is seem like he’s doing all sorts of dirty deeds. I don’t think he’ll order the continued investigation of a political rival’s campaign. The political rival’s son, maybe, but not the political rival’s campaign.
When we elected Gavin Newsom, I told people why do we want to make the entire state San Francisco? If you get rid of the Electoral College, you can ask, “why do you want to make the whole country San Francisco (or New York City, or Los Angeles)?”
Oh, and there’s this:
This is making me a populist. Payments to people and small businesses (less than $2M annual revenue, willing to go a little higher), not luxury brands and restaurants.
Our media has lost the plot in terms of covering justice issues. It’s all partisan now. Bill Barr was the consummate professional. There is more evidence of a conspiracy to push the Russian Collusion narrative (created by the Clinton campaign and laundered through a willing media and the Deep State) than there is that Russian Collusion happened. It’s sad what the politicized media and the politicized bureaucracy can do to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people.
Remember the 50+ “intelligence professionals” who told you that the Hunter Biden story had “all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation” as soon as the Democratic party set the narrative and all the reporters (and Big Tech) suppressed the story? I’m glad those “intelligence professionals” are not in the business of analyzing intelligence anymore, as they have shown that they would rather put politics over country. F— them, and f— our media, who have become editorializing propaganda flacks for the Democratic Party, rather than even attempting to tell the truth to the American people.

Liars, the whole lot of them.
Nice to see @politico catching up to the Hunter Biden scandal that they wrote off back in October.

Facebook’s Andy Stone (former DNC staffer), Twitter, and Google all suppressed a story to favor Democrats. These are the same people complaining about money buying policy. Now they’re suppressing any claims of election fraud. Big Tech decided to join the enemy of the people with gusto. You wonder why right-leaning populism is in vogue? Silicon Valley and the main-stream media deciding that everything is political, and to become propaganda wings is the answer.

SFGate covered the story with a summary. Unclear when other networks will begin covering this story. The media is so politicized that they cannot be relied upon to report news.
If you liked to say that Trump won in 2016 by only 77,736 votes in three crucial states (PA MI WI), then consider that Biden won in 2020 by even less — 43,809 votes — in three crucial states (AZ GA WI). From Michael Barone: https://t.co/X9VzG46Kym

I don’t know what the outcome of these election challenges will be. I analogize it to trying to overturn a jury verdict… really difficult because the standards of review are against you, and all presumptions are in favor of the verdict.
Last week, the “evidence” looked weak. Then the hearings began, and it started to look stronger. Then the Atlanta / Fulton County video hit (apparently obtained at 1AM today, therefore the legislator who claimed it had already been “debunked” was shut down really quickly), and that’s pretty shady. I DO remember that shortly after election night, someone claimed to be delivering something near the arena, and took pictures of suitcases being rolled into one of the vote counting places.
As I posted before, what I would really like to happen out of this election is a return to election security (yes, including voter ID), and the death of unproven, speculative “voter suppression” arguments as an excuse to prevent common sense measures to ensure secure elections.

All joking aside, it’s almost Christmas.
Possibly. The Internet makes it easy for people to be jerks / a–holes, including acting out in real life, thinking the relative anonymity of the Internet translates into real life. Of course, the second anyone does anything remotely controversial nowadays, they run to the “I’m being threatened” card. Yes, some of the threats are very real and should be taken seriously, but at this point, ascribing blame for threats is really tricky and difficult to prove.
