We’ve all seen footage of those carefully timed explosions that bring down antiquated buildings and clear the ground for new ones. A horn sounds, the detonations begin, the building shakes, suspended for a frozen moment, and then collapses in a vast cloud of dust. That, metaphorically, is what is happening to the Obama administration’s legacy.

The presidential edifice has come down in two episodes, and the dust has not yet settled from either one. The first wrecked President Obama’s most consequential policies: the Affordable Care Act and the Iran nuclear deal. The second, happening now, is crushing its reputation for integrity, for following the most basic rules for conducting free and fair elections.

Denouncing it as “a path to disaster,” investigative correspondent Cynthia McFadden’s Monday report for NBC Nightly News called out Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for forcing nursing homes in his state to take in coronavirus-positive patients just out of the hospital. On top of that, she pointed out how he had refused to give those facilities personal protective equipment (PPE). All of this, while ABC and CBS still refused to criticize their governor and bashed President Trump.

The hits just keep coming. We know that Rod Rosenstein is an idiotic tool, but we had yet to see the scope memo he issued months late to authorize Robert Mueller’s work as independent counsel. The first “scope memo” was, shall we say, lacking. Now we can see the newly declassified and mostly unredacted version of the August memo Rosenstein issued to remedy the original memo’s defects. Politico’s Daniel Lippman and Kyle Cheney report on the memo in “DOJ releases Mueller’s marching orders.” They have also posted a copy of the memo online here. The Federalist’s Sean Davis addresses it in “Rosenstein Scope Memo For Mueller Peddled Steele Dossier, Logan Act Conspiracy Theories.” Andrew McCarthy comments on Twitter.

Imagine that, when the votes are finally counted in the 2020 election, former Vice President Joe Biden squeezes out a narrow victory in the Electoral College. Then imagine that, weeks later, the nation is shocked to learn that President Donald Trump will receive a second term because a few previously unknown members of the Electoral College refused to vote for Biden.

Which is entirely consistent with the Constitution’s original intent.

But the Constitution does not mandate popular elections for members of the Electoral College. On the contrary, it provides that “each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.” If the state legislature agrees to it, a state could potentially pick members of the Electoral College randomly by throwing darts at a phone book.

What they’re really objecting to is the chance that it might make it less Democrat.

Want to know how many tuberculosis cases there were in the U.S. last year? Ask the CDC. Want to know about health-care-associated infections? Ask the CDC. It knows.

But ask how many Covid-19 tests have been done, and the CDC’s doesn’t have an answer. Want a daily update on how many people are getting hospitalized for Covid-19? The CDC isn’t tracking it. Want to know if social distancing is making a difference? The CDC doesn’t know.

During this pandemic, when accurate, timely, nationwide information is the lifeblood of our response, the CDC has largely disappeared.

Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski, who runs the department’s criminal division, said prosecutors have contacted 15 to 20 of the largest loan processors and the Small Business Administration, which oversees one relief program, as part of an effort to police the trillions of dollars in federal aid being pushed out hastily to blunt the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The review has already turned up several red flags in the data prosecutors have examined over the past week, Benczkowski said Thursday in a telephone interview.

mmigrant-rights groups asked U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon to issue a temporary injunction against Trump’s order blocking green card applications from foreign nationals living outside the United States, with the plaintiffs attempting to tie their request to a previous decision by the judge that blocked Trump’s ban on immigrants who could not afford health care.

Simon, however, ruled that the order is not related to the previous case.

So Mr. Clyburn’s district is dominated by two cities that are far apart and have little to do with each other: Charleston and Columbia. But it excludes Charleston and Columbia – at least the parts of those cities that are populated largely by *gasp* white people. So he basically controls very specific areas of those two cities and the entire coastal region of South Carolina. Except for the actual coast, of course, because that rather expensive real estate is populated largely by *gasp* white people. Like me, for example. I really should be in Mr. Clyburn’s district. But I’m not, because too many of my neighbors are *gasp* white.

I live in Hilton Head, which is in South Carolina’s first congressional district, which looks even more absurd that Mr. Clyburn’s district, as you can see from the map at the left. Interestingly, Mr. Clyburn’s 6^th congressional district and my 1^st congressional district are the only Democrat districts in the state, and that clearly was not an accident. Look at the maps. They worked hard to get two Democrats into congress from South Carolina – one from poor blacks and one from wealthy whites.

Then, Sidney Powell, the attorney who took over Flynn’s defense nearly a year ago, filed new documents in the case, revealing a secret “lawyers’ understanding” not to prosecute Flynn’s son if the retired lieutenant general pleaded guilty.

Michigan Governor Whitmer awarded a COVID contact tracing contract to Dem consulting firm NGP Van. I guess awarding this contract in the midst of a public health emergency in no way violates HIPPA,

John Hinderaker at Powerline has some thoughts.

Why is President Trump doing this? I assume he legitimately believes that some people arriving from foreign countries are carrying the Wuhan virus, and in the absence of easy, universal screening, we should keep them out while the alleged crisis continues. Beyond that, is he trying to make a point with liberals? Maybe he wants to illustrate how easily a purported crisis can be used to advance a political agenda. Liberals have made no secret of their desire to do this, openly touting the epidemic as an opportunity to achieve longstanding political goals. Maybe Trump wants to remind them that using an epidemic for political purposes can be a two-way street. Or maybe he just enjoys watching their heads explode, I don’t know.

I think a big part of it is just to demonstrate to proglodytes that sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. It also underlines the existence of media bias when they scream and rant about Trump doing stuff that they would coo was ‘presidential’ if Obama — or, God help us, Biden — did them.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s handling of the COVID-19 lockdown has stood out as one of the most severe and arbitrary in the US. Michiganders are unable to purchase gardening supplies but lottery tickets are fine. They can travel to Walmart but not to their cabins in the countryside. They can paddle a canoe but can’t ride a jet ski.

Many officials and citizens have had enough. A group of county sheriffs announced Wednesday that they will not enforce some of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s lockdown orders. At the same time, thousands of Michiganders gathered at the state capitol to protest her actions in a rally they dubbed “Operation Gridlock.”

Sheriffs from four contiguous counties in the northwest corner of the lower peninsula are placing their constitutional duties above the governor’s mandates.

An odd pattern has emerged in San Francisco as the city responds to the Covid-19 pandemic. The world of the well-off has become tightly restricted by public quarantine orders, and the world of the poor increasingly resembles that of Mad Max—lawless, crime-ridden, and devoid of functioning authority.

Over just a few weeks, San Francisco has instituted a policy that can be described as “decarcerate, decriminalize, and depolice.” Reducing the jail population, permitting public camping and other forms of disorder, and scaling back police presence in low-income neighborhoods have always been the favored policies of San Francisco’s progressive activists. In the past, residents and business groups could restrain the most extreme impulses of the political class. Now, with the coronavirus providing cover, city leaders have pushed forward their agenda with new vigor.

Well, that’s what happens when Democrats run your city.
