Thoughts from Rod Dreher, but mostly quotes from Andrew Sullivan.
[Update Sunday morning]
Sorry, link fixed now, but the original one is pretty good, too.
Lockdowns Kill
441 people reportedly died of drug overdoses in San Francisco in 2019. In 2020, almost 260 more than that died, which is more than died from covid. Gee, what else happened in 2020 that might have increased the number of drug overdoses?

Right link now.
Washington DC

[Update a while later]
Link fixed, sorry.
The Tragedy Of Trump’s Presidency
I largely agree with Andy McCarthy’s requiem. Trump has always been his own worst enemy. I have no hope for the Biden/Harris presidency, other than taking back the House, and perhaps the Senate, in two years.

Pioneers And The Future
Thoughts from Bob Zimmerman on our societal risk aversion, and an announcement.
