After Obama's superspreader maskless birthday extravaganza, what else could Dem elites do to convince their hapless followers that they don't believe in the Covid panic they're foisting on the rest of us? Pandemic restrictions are for the Little Guy, not the glitterati.
Like I always say, flaunting your special privileges is part of the kink for socialist elites. They know they won't be subjected to the rules, restrictions, and suffering they intend to inflict on the rest of us. They don't want to feel a drop of shame about it.
Some of the elites at Obama's birthday bash were gleefully uploading photos of themselves dancing the night away without masks, until the backlash prompted them to start deleting their posts. They do this stuff to erase any vestigial twinge of shame they might feel.
It can't be overstated how outrageous this is. The rest of us have been forced to ruin our lives and fortunes for coronavirus panic, and it's happening again even to the vaccinated. Children are being wrecked by closing their schools and forcing them to wear masks.
But for King Barack Obama and his court, none of that matters. No stupid little virus was going to ruin his big birthday party. He and his royal court needed to demonstrate they are above such things, that life is good for them - maybe better than ever - while we all suffer.
Not to mention that Obama did this even as the Left is cranking up climate change panic again - they're desperate to equate climate change and the coronavirus in the public mind, using perpetual fear to break down resistance to their endless power and money grabs.
So the elite soar into Obama's maskless super-party on private jets while they lay plans to force the rest of us to drive crappy electric cars that might burn our houses down if we leave them plugged in overnight. And they're all gun-control zealots with armed private security.
What else can they do to teach their dead-end followers that they have absolutely no intention of living in the wretched, diminished world they're planning to stampede YOU into? They partied to prove that Mount Olympus is still real, and only they will get to live on it. /end
ADDENDUM: The media doesn't want to discuss it, but black Americans are a deep pocket of vaccine resistance. We're constantly told Obama has a mystical connection with blacks. Well, he just showed them all this coronavirus panic stuff is hype and bullshit. Good job, everyone.

This is horrifying, and there's plenty of room to criticize Biden's handling of the pullout, but not sure another two decades of U.S. and NATO occupation was the right answer. Or maybe four decades, or six, or a century. This had to end, and was never going to end well.
The speed of the Taliban advance, much of it with zero military opposition, shows we were building castles on sand. Billions of our dollars were poured into rat holes of corruption, and our bureaucrat-generals relentlessly lied to us about the results.

Say what you will about the military-industrial complex, but it was better than the new military-political-bureaucratic complex. Our soldiers can still win wars. Our pols and politicized brass cannot realize victories. They treat wars like exceptionally bloody welfare programs.

The constant assertions that "nobody promised the vaccines would keep you from getting infected" are so bizarre. Yes, those promises absolutely were made, and heavily implied, by the political class. They should have been more realistic about the protection offered.
The political class was determined to stampede everyone into vaccination as quickly as possible, instead of reasoning with them. We were told - indeed *threatened* - throughout 2021 that vaccination was the only way to return to normal life because it would stop the spread.
Would everyone care to rummage through their memory banks and remember a political slogan from just a few weeks ago: "Pandemic of the unvaccinated?" It died quickly when panic mode was re-engaged, but the whole point was that supposedly only the unvaccinated were spreading Covid.

Statists look at desirable goods, decide what the price should be - often concluding it should be $0.00 - and work backward from there. Free markets try to meet demand by increasingly supply, and increase demand by reducing price. The statist approach is a train wreck.
Controlling prices by political fiat is like trying to steer a horse by yanking on its tail. Everything else in the economic chain malfunctions when the price output is controlled like that. You're about to get another demonstration thanks to Biden's illegal eviction moratorium.
Notice how interventions to fix the price of labor tend to increase unemployment and throw other aspects of the labor market out of whack. It happens every time politicians decide they know better than free people what the price of goods and services should be.

Freedom, capitalism, property rights, and the rule of law are inextricably linked.

Each flows into the other. All are weakened when any are attacked. All are vital to sustain a republic of sovereign individuals. The enemies of freedom understand this better than its defenders.
If you don't really own your property, you can't fully engage in capitalism. If you can't use your capital as you see fit, you don't really own it. If property rights are not protected, there is no true rule of law, only abstract ideals and exercises of political power.
Property rights give muscle and bone to the core freedom, the one that really matters: the right to refuse, to say "no." If your property rights are not respected, you can be forced to do just about anything. Ambitious tyrants will never stop inventing ways to compel you.

Some politically-motivated vaccine resistance was doubtless caused by Biden trying to erase Trump's contribution to vaccine development. Biden Dems turned the shots into a partisan political football as fast as they could, because they assumed everyone wanted them.
We're talking about a few months ago. It's not hard to remember how it went down. Biden's handlers assumed the shots were a golden gift that couldn't be squandered, no matter how aggressively they politicized vaccination. Biden's first few months were one long end-zone dance.
Dems were more interested in setting up political victory laps and daydreaming about "How Joe Biden Cured Covid" headlines than reaching across the aisle for a nonpartisan vaccine drive. They were trying to airbrush Trump out of the picture. His angry supporters noticed.

The variables have changed, but this still is - and always has been - about rationally balancing risks and rewards, costs and benefits. Our society's inability to do so, crippled by hysterical media and opportunistic politicians, has cost us dearly.
It's no surprise that we've come to this state. The great project of the political class across most of my lifetime has been aggressively destroying the ability of the American people to measure costs against benefits and make rational decisions. It's been a cultural lobotomy.
In a way, politics has always been an extreme form of salesmanship, which always seems to minimize a customer's perception of cost and maximize perceived value. Politics takes salesmanship to another level, utterly divorced from reality.
