Thoughts on our corrupt ruling class.

Heterogeneity, And Covid
Some thoughts from Tyler Cowen.
We really need to get a better understanding of how our genetics interact with the disease.

The benefits of pooled testing.
I don’t understand why they haven’t been doing this. Other than, of course, continued incompetence at the CDC.
Iran’s Nuclear Program
It’s been set back by two years. It’s only two years, but a lot can happen in two years. In addition to these Israeli actions, with his pressure, Trump is doing to the Mullahs what Reagan did to the Soviets.
Cholesterol
It’s nice to see more published recognition of this, but it’s only news to people who haven’t been paying attention.
The Latest From Boeing
If I’d been one of those AvWeek reporters, I’d have asked her to expand on that.
Hydroxycholoriquine
How many people did the media’s anti-Trump hysteria kill?
Kanye
Will he change how the Democrats treat blacks?
I think he’ll take more black votes away from Biden than from Trump.
Race, Gun Control
…and the Second Amendment. No, the Second Amendment wasn’t about helping round up escaped slaves. What monumental historical ignorance to think it was.
A Message To Newsom And Garcetti
Despite the threat of a $50K fine, the fireworks across LA basin were continuous last night as we ate ribs on the upstairs patio. It was a better display than the cities ever put on. I have no idea where the fireworks came from, because I’m sure they’re all illegal for personal possession in California. Maybe they were contraband from Nevada or Arizona. There wasn’t a lot of breeze overnight, and it was still smoky when we got up. I love the phrase “News Karens.”
I hope this massive public disobedience is a harbinger for the election.

It wasn’t just LA.
ABC’s “Powerhouse” Round Table
Is there a more pretentious name in news than what ABC calls the assorted idiots it has on This Week to opine? There was no one even remotely conservative on it this morning, though they probably still imagine that Matthew Dowd is, just because the hack worked for G. W. Bush. Like much of the rest of the media, they were characterizing Trump’s fantastic Rushmore speech as “dark” and “divisive.”
What utter horsepoop. Neo takes them to task on that nonsense.
Meanwhile, Roger Kimball writes that historians will record the speech as the moment that Trump won re-election. I agree.
