…causes a scuffle in Manhattan Beach. This happened just a couple miles from us.

Antifa
…is the natural product of our educational system.
Fortunately, as noted there, the pandemic has done much to pop that bubble, and make people rethink the whole thing. To the degree that government funding is involved, we need to start funding students, not systems.

Woke colleges are an assembly line for conformity.
Get Out Of The Way, FDA
Yes, Trump should issue an executive order on this, except unfortunately, it would taint the concept.

How to bring them back home.
Unfortunately, Cuomo and De Blasio aren’t up to the job.
Coffee
I had started choking it down every morning because I thought that there were health benefits. But the evidence isn’t really that compelling.

Note: I am not criticizing anyone whose body chemistry enables them to enjoy drinking the stuff; to each his own. I’m simply amused by people who think that I’m a terrible person because I never have, and continue to not do so, no matter how much I drink, or how it is prepared. I will say, though, that at a hotel in Vienna, I had (included in the price of the room) lattes that were less than terrible, but still not worth drinking absent any potential health benefits.

This seems like it should be a bigger deal:
“The drug, miramistin, was developed for the Soviet Space Program. While little known in the West, it blocks or kills flu, human papillomaviruses (HPV), coronaviruses, adenoviruses and HIV, according to University of Manchester scientists.” [Emphasis added]
Forcing Schools To Reopen
Don’t do it, but don’t force parents to pay for closed schools, either.
“Fund students, not systems.” Yes.
