Just as with immigration , Afghanistan , and unemployment, Biden and his allies want us to think that he is nothing but a bystander. It can never be his fault or the fault of the policies he has pursued and implemented. The world is simply out of his control.
Biden The Bystander
It’s OPEC that isn’t boosting production, not Biden’s failed energy policies. It’s those oh-so-complicated supply chains, not Biden's unhinged stimuli and mandates.
Biden’s go-to move: Everything that happens on his watch is either inevitable or irrelevant.
Before Biden, the previous bystander president we had was Obama. Do you see a pattern here?

1. Pfizer's Paxlovid Pill Can Be A Game-Changer, Making Covid Vaccinations Moot
Pfizer said its Covid-19 pill reduced hospitalizations and deaths in high-risk patients by 89%, a result that has the potential to upend how Covid-19 is treated and alter the course of the pandemic.
2. Pfizer said in a statement on Friday that it was no longer taking new patients in a clinical trial of the treatment “due to the overwhelming efficacy” and planned to submit the findings to U.S. regulatory authorities for emergency authorization as soon as possible.
3. A pill that could be taken at home at the first sign of symptoms is a crucial tool for taming the Covid-19 crisis globally, so long as it’s widely available.
1. On Critical Race Theory (Beware of Semantic Traps)
The way Marxists of a certain bent keep confusing the public is by claiming that CRT is not being taught in schools, which may technically be correct. What is actually being taught, with prescribed books, is "anti-racism."
2. Now anti-racism is an offshoot of CRT but it is actually far worse. That is how Marxists want to have their cake and eat it too, by creating misdirection about CRT not being taught, while teaching something even worse that is an offshoot of CRT but technically not exactly CRT.
3. GOP would be smart to continue bludgeoning the Marxists with CRT (which is fair, even if technically incorrect at times) and must never use the term "anti-racism" that the Marxists would love for GOP to adopt. Anti-racism is a verbal trap, just like Antifa.

1. WSJ: Biden’s New Spending Whopper
From trillions to zero in a Beltway minute.
Where have all the “fact checkers” gone? On Saturday night President Joe Biden took to social media to repeat his new multi-trillion-dollar falsehood.
2. And much of the press corps has nothing to offer in response but approbation.
A WSJ editorial noted the latest Biden tall tale about his effort to enact a historic spending binge, estimated to cost $3.5 trillion, will perhaps cost as much as $5 trillion or more.
3. The agenda that was being sold a few weeks ago as the modern equivalent of the New Deal or Great Society is actually so modest it doesn’t cost a thing.
1. The Fearsome Tabulator
The ballot tabulator in mail-in vote processing centers in America is the most fearsome machine invented by man, as it determines the winner of the highest office in the most powerful nation in the world. Allow me to explain.
2. Imagine what happens to a mail-in ballot in a vote processing center. Allow me to illustrate the journey of a mail-in ballot envelope inside a vote processing center. The first key step is to open the envelope and log it.
3. On the outer envelope there is name and address of the voter who mailed the ballot. So the log will indicate that a ballot was received from an identifiable voter (identified by a name and address).
Closing of American Mind
The university has made intellectual exploration impossible. It has transformed a bastion of free inquiry into a Social Justice factory whose only inputs are race, gender, victimhood and whose only outputs are grievance & division. bariweiss.substack.com/p/my-universit…
Students at Portland State are not being taught to think. Rather, they are being trained to mimic the moral certainty of ideologues. Faculty and administrators have abdicated the university’s truth-seeking mission and instead drive intolerance of divergent beliefs and opinions.
Questions from faculty at diversity trainings that challenged approved narratives were instantly dismissed. Those who asked for evidence to justify new institutional policies were accused of microaggressions.
