Closing the polls earlier is part of that effort. Now what “fraud” is that supposed to stop? That working voters now have a shorter time to dash to the polls after work seems pretty obvious effort to reduce participation. Virtually no fraud was found or proven in 2020. And the main reasons that drove cases to SCOTUS were about changing voting rules by the state. So how is targeting individuals anything more than suppression? The GOP are chicken poop petty tyrants who can’t sell their agenda, so they cheat.
BREAKING: CBS Reports DHS Has Detained 13,000+ Unaccompanied Kids at the Border, Calls It a ‘Crisis’
Its unofficially official. We can call the Biden border fiasco a “crisis” now.
Assuming that most Americans want our borders to be under control, this new crisis could become the Biden administration’s first major test. I hope they will restart construction of the wall.
The Washington Post’s Fake Trump Quote Scandal Is a Lot Worse Than You Think
You could say it takes a village of idiots to make the mistake WAPO and confederate media made in reporting this story. But that would be cynical.
More dispassionately, how much of our opinions about the world is based on unreliable journalism?

Finally, a public appearance, and it’s all lies
Biden lies about COVID vaccine
I said I would credit Biden if he improved the vaccine roll out, but except for continuing the Trump policy, he has only made it worse, by extending the “teachers first” priority, which the CDC never recommended, to nation wide.
Instead of making it better, he just saw a parade and ran out to the front with a baton.
You had your chance Joe, but you’re just another pandering hack.
Cruz is a strange bird.
Signing a book he did not author is a bit odd. But even more so is that “Green Eggs and Ham” is not one of the books the Seuss Foundation decided to not reprint and Cruz is selling it as a “collector’s item”. Was the ex-president right about “lyin’ Ted”? Can’t make this stuff up. No wonder the GOP is trying so hard to rig elections in their favor.

This story is less interesting for its Covid commentary than for its media commentary. It shows how media serves an agenda, as opposed to a function.
The object lesson here is public skepticism with respect to Covid vaccines and other measures. The article cites a few examples from “the science” that might inspire rational skepticism and notes that media outlets are pushing the vaccines and other measures, anyway.
One can certainly wish for a more virtuous Fourth Estate. I note, however, that there is no shortage of information to support any narrative the public as a whole wishes to explore.
