The one common thread to the supposed solutions is action on the part of government, because, as we all know, if government doesn’t do it, it won’t get done.

It was obvious to any sentient observer in 2020. In defending himself on Afghanistan, Joe Biden fumbled his words, made weird comments and generally didn’t seem up to the job of being president. And the media pretended there was nothing to see. This week Newsmax host Greg Kelly took the problem head on from a media perspective.

Afghanistan, Kelly observed with accompanying quite vivid video, “is a full blown disaster.” Which is most decidedly true.

After a video montage of Biden doing his bizarre kissing and hair-smelling routines, Kelly zeroed in again on Biden’s competence — and the media.

CNN gushing over a Democratic president didn’t start with Joe Biden Biden or even Barack Obama. You have to go back all the way to Bill Clinton to see the birth of the cable channel’s love affair with liberal presidents. It was 20 years ago this week that CNN produced a syrupy, vomit-inducing valentine to Bill Clinton comparing him to, yes, Elvis Presley. Then-senior political analyst Bill Schneider gushed over the two “brothers under the skin.”

Four summers ago, the network evening news shows obsessed over Donald Trump Jr. attending a brief and ineffective meeting with Russians in Trump Tower in 2016. He hoped to get “dirt” on Hillary Clinton, but nothing came of it. ABC, CBS, and NBC offered viewers more than 62 minutes of coverage energetically speculating over collusion with the Russians in just four nights in July.

On August 11, the Daily Mail of London reported “Hunter Biden claimed Russians stole another one of his laptops for blackmail while he was close to overdosing in a Las Vegas hotel room.” Coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC? Nothing. Zero. The story underlined this alleged theft “would mean Hunter lost a total of three computers — the first abandoned at a Delaware computer store and the second seized by federal agents.”

Challenging UN, Study Finds Sun—not CO2—May Be Behind Global Warming

Joseph Bernstein in Harper’s tries to push an increasingly shabby narrative.

In the beginning, there were ABC, NBC, and CBS, and they were good. Midcentury American man could come home after eight hours of work and turn on his television and know where he stood in relation to his wife, and his children, and his neighbors, and his town, and his country, and his world. And that was good. Or he could open the local paper in the morning in the ritual fashion, taking his civic communion with his coffee, and know that identical scenes were unfolding in households across the country.

Over frequencies our American never tuned in to, red-baiting, ultra-right-wing radio preachers hyperventilated to millions. In magazines and books he didn’t read, elites fretted at great length about the dislocating effects of television. And for people who didn’t look like him, the media had hardly anything to say at all. But our man lived in an Eden, not because it was unspoiled, but because he hadn’t considered any other state of affairs. For him, information was in its right—that is to say, unquestioned—place. And that was good, too.

And then things went to Hell because the Establishment gatekeepers lost control of the gates. Pity Party!

Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe released a new ad promoting his goal of “growing Virginia’s economy”—but the workers pictured in the ad are in Florida.

The new ad from McAuliffe, who is running for his second term as governor, includes stock footage sold by Getty Images of a diverse pair of workers in Florida, a Washington Free Beacon investigation found. The “workers walking through metal fabrication shop stock video” was shot in Florida in February 2019 and can be purchased for $170.

Now that the Senate has passed a $1.1 trillion infrastructure bill and the $3.5 trillion “human infrastructure” framework bill, it will now move on to fill in the details of the spending package. The bill would provide green cards–essentially amnesty—to millions of illegal immigrants, in addition to the “free” community college, subsidized child care, housing, health care, and other budget-sinking welfare benefits.

Because amnesty is unlikely to get the 60 votes it needs to pass in the Senate, Democrats are using the wholly inappropriate budget reconciliation bill as a vehicle to jam amnesty through with only 51 votes.

To “limit” the total trillions of dollars spent and to entice senators concerned with the price tag, like Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to vote yes, Democrats will limit the amnesty to mostly illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as children.

But pandemics can accelerate social and economic change. In particular, in the last year, Covid has prompted many foreign workers in the UK to return home to sit things out. We can’t be sure all will choose to come back.

The BBC, of course, being a charter member of the Narrative Media, hopes they will, as do their Globalist masters and the Labour Party; British nationalists hope that they stay home.

That’ll put a stick in their spokes.

Anecdotally, Covid has also led to more than a few people to think about what matters to them and to retire early or to leave employment to start a business of their own. Economic “inactivity” has risen during the pandemic, as data from the Office for National Statistics highlights.

Uh-huh: Retiring or starting your own business constitute ‘economic inactivity’.

That David French is no longer a conservative will come as a surprise to nobody. I say this not because of his anti-Trump writings (there are perfectly good reasons to dislike Trump — I voted for him, and I can recognize that), but because David French, like the jolly band at The Bulwark, has shown himself eager to accept the terminology, framing, and general worldview of the cultural left.

Anybody who writes something called ‘The Conservative Case for [proglodyte meme]’ can be safely considered not a conservative.
