If Biden Were President
…our coronavirus problems would be much worse.
Yup.
The EEOC
It’s too bad that the Trump administration doesn’t take it as seriously as it does judicial appointments. With the wrong people on it, it can be a very damaging institution.
Crossfire Hurricane
It’s official: Every aspect of it was shady.
It was a corrupt criminal conspiracy against first a presidential candidate of the opposition party and then a president. And there should be little doubt that the Obama White House was fully aware of it. One of the reasons that a lot of this is coming out now (and the State Department refused to ask for Executive Privilege to prevent Hillary from being deposed) is that Grenell is finally starting to clean house (which was why the Left went nuts when Trump appointed him) in preparation for Ratcliffe to take over as DNI.
But will there be indictments this time around? I hope that history is not prelude. It’s up to Barr now.
Oligarchy
…and pestilence.
This is why the coming election is so important.
Closing Nature
With all the March and April rain, I figured it would be a good year for poppies in the desert, but they closed the reserve on Wednesday. Anza Borrego is closed, too, except to residents of Borrego Springs.
We’d like to just go for a drive, to seen the green hills and flowers, but Patricia is afraid of getting pulled over. But I don’t think they’re doing that, and I don’t think they should even be discouraging driving. There is no risk of spread from it, other than the occasional need to get gas. It seems like they should be offering options for relief from cabin fever.
[Sunday-morning update]
We took a drive around Palos Verdes peninsula yesterday. Lovely drive as always, with mustard on the hillsides greening everything up.
Couldn’t pull over at view areas, trails closed, bike paths closed, beaches closed, Point Vicente (where we go to watch the whales migrating) closed. Drove past the hospital ship in San Pedro. The 710 and 405 were eerily empty, like it was 3 AM.
The Illegal Or Unconstitutional Actions Of Barack Obama
Part One of a series. She’s going to need a bigger blog.
Being Libertarian In A Pandemic
Thoughts from Eugene Volokh.
Our biggest problem continues to be a paucity of information. The old saying is that knowledge is power, and right now, we’re still pretty powerless in that regard.
[Update a while later]
Pandemics come and go, but medical masks are eternal.

Gun-Control Backfire
This is hilarious:
I was chatting with a friend of mine recently and the topic of gun sales came up. My friend’s father owns a gun range near me and she said he’s seen a huge amount of liberals coming in to purchase weapons in recent weeks.
How does he know they’re liberals?
“They’re shocked to discover they can’t just walk out of the store with a gun.”
We’ve all heard about gun sales skyrocketing recently, but I hadn’t considered some of the tangential effects of the phenomenon until I spoke to my friend. Not only are many liberals suddenly learning to love their Second Amendment rights, many of them are finding out that the gun control narrative in this country — as repeated loudly and often by Hollywood and the mainstream media — is a complete lie.
But they were told by all the smartest people how easy it was!
