You’d be hard-pressed to get Joe Biden to offer an update, opinion, or even a single fact about the border.
That’s a huge mess. It’s his job for that not to be a huge mess. The border is a national security issue. He handed it off to Kamala Harris more than a week ago. She laughed when the media asked if she was going to the border, then laughed at parents who want their kids back in school. Laughing at problems has been Harris’s chief public contribution to the administration so far.
Biden’s chief contribution has been to make terrible decisions and get Americans to argue about them. Unity!

The Covid-19 vaccine manufactured by Pfizer has been shown to be 91.3 percent effective against infection even after six months according to findings released by the company.
The findings come from a growing body of data on how volunteers in the shot’s late-stage trials are responding to the vaccine. The data determined whether or not the volunteers contracted Covid with or without symptoms. That the vaccine still proved to be so effective after six months is an excellent sign it may last even longer.
Wall Street Journal:
Pfizer said it hopes to provide more information on protection beyond six months in the coming weeks. The companies said they planned to continue

If you watch TV crime shows, you would think the Federal Bureau of Investigation works tirelessly to protect us from terrorists and criminals. But the real FBI is a much less impressive organization.
After the horrendous Colorado shooting last week, we learned that the alleged shooter, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, had a record of violence and arrests. His brother described him as mentally ill, paranoid and “very anti-social.” He was also on the FBI’s radar because of someone with whom he associated.
In this, Alissa joins a long list of “known-wolf” killers, including Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter; the Tsarnaev brothers,

NEW YORK - A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected New York City's effort to hold five major oil companies liable to help pay the costs of addressing harm caused by global warming.
Ruling in favor of BP Plc, Chevron Corp, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions should be addressed under federal law and international treaties.
It rejected the city's efforts to sue under state nuisance law for damages caused by the companies' "admittedly legal" production and sale of fossil fuels,

Historically, there have been very few hate crimes directed against Asians–just 4.4 percent of hate crimes based on race or ethnicity in the FBI’s most recent report. Lately, though, there has been an uptick, reflected in several highly-publicized and vicious attacks.
Democratic Party news sources have absurdly tried to blame anti-Asian crimes on President Trump. NBC News, for example:
Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder and director of demographic data and policy research nonprofit AAPI Data, told NBC Asian America that while the uptick cannot be entirely attributed to the Trump administration’s incendiary, racist rhetoric about the coronavirus…

I missed this statement from last night when writing up Biden’s comments earlier about MLB moving the All-Star Game out of Georgia to protest the new election law. If there’s any Democrat with more sway than President Joe over how corporate America behaves in GA, it’s Abrams, the rising star whose turnout machine delivered three shocking Democratic victories last year and who’s become the most visible voting-rights advocate in the country. Is this enough to make Major League Baseball and other industries, like Hollywood, think twice?
Even if it isn’t, it’s a smart play by someone who’s going to run for office again next year.

Footage of a Jewish family, including a one-year old baby, in Manhattan being attacked by a man carrying a knife surfaced on Thursday, which appears to have been unprovoked. In the video, a man carrying an umbrella walks past the Hasidic couple and their baby in a stroller, until he turns and attacks the couple from behind, slashing both the mother and father. Upon stepping away from the suspect, the man also slashed at the baby, injuring her chin, according to the New York Post, citing local police. The couple then ran off as the man continued to chase them.

There are 10 new ideas that are changing America, maybe permanently.
1) Money is a construct. It can be created from thin air. Annual deficits and aggregate national debt no longer matter much.
Prior presidents ran up huge annual deficits, but at least there were some concessions that the money was real and had to be paid back. Not now. As we near $30 trillion in national debt and 110 percent of annual GDP, our elites either believe permanent zero interest rates make the cascading obligation irrelevant, or the larger the debt, the more likely we will be forced to address needed income redistribution.
2) Laws are not necessarily binding

New York City high schoolers used to pack heat as often as they packed lunch.
This month, more than 100,000 city public school kids walked out to protest gun violence — but last century some students attended class armed with their rifles and practiced shooting on school grounds.
Many of the city’s public high schools had shooting clubs and a few even had gun ranges on their premises, according to accounts from the Department of Education and others.
There were at least three shooting ranges in public schools, the DOE said, including Curtis HS on Staten Island and Erasmus Hall HS in Brooklyn.
Another inside Far Rockaway HS in Queens

In 2018, Democrats, the press, and the political world rose up nearly as one to condemn then-President Donald Trump's brief policy of separating children and parents detained while illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The uproar was at times hysterical, with overwrought commentators comparing the Trump policy to Nazi Germany. On June 16, 2018, for example, General Michael Hayden, the former CIA director and one of the most irresponsible voices of the anti-Trump Resistance, tweeted a photo of the Birkenau concentration camp with the message, "Other governments have separated mothers and children." Hayden was far from alone in his intemperance.

I don’t know about you, but I turn to science fiction and fantasy to escape America’s politicized outrage culture, not to look for it. I’ve long been a fan of Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, The Avengers, and — more recently — The Expanse. Each of these franchises has political elements, of course, but none of them comment on current hot-button issues. They focus, instead, on more eternal themes.
Yet wokeness is increasingly smuggling its way into the fiction I enjoy so much. Marvel is planning to insert LGBT characters, and the Star Wars: Aftermath books did so, too. Early reports about Amazon’s TV
