Media becomes a problem for Biden?

 Red States:

Something interesting has happened on the Wuhan virus front over the past few days. The Biden bunch have changed their tune about media coverage. Once the media were loyal little catchfarts and stenographers pushing whatever narrative the Biden White House wanted to put out between sessions of Biden eating boogers.

Somehow they became part of the problem, being needlessly alarmist about the Wuhan virus.

A couple of days ago, the New York Times ran this story, C.D.C. Internal Report Calls Delta Variant as Contagious as Chickenpox.

...

The same day, the Washington Post ran this story; CDC study shows three-fourths of people infected in Massachusetts coronavirus outbreak were vaccinated but few required hospitalization.

...

Later that day, NBC’s Ken Delanian, who has shifted gears from taking dictation from the CIA and Fusion GPS and finding Russians under every bed, chimed in with his own tiny version of Armageddon.

As we all know by now, the CDC is a collection of amoral hacks who will do or say whatever it takes to push an anti-freedom agenda. Even so, these two stories fell much in line with the Biden bunch’s agenda of shutting down the nation again and making everyone reliant upon federal largesse to live. So a lot of us were more than a little astonished when the head of the White House Wuhan virus rapid response team, Ben Wakana (not to be confused with the mythical country with a similar name), came out swinging. Of the New York Times piece, he said,

He had this to say about the Washington Post story:

It was a pretty strong dressing down of two key allies that showed they had definitely strayed off the reservation. That this was serious was demonstrated by Tater’s bearded mini-me, Oliver Darcy, tweeting out the party line.

It drew the notice of our own Jeff Charles (see Biden Administration and Activist Media Just Had an Epic Lovers’ Quarrel) and of Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald is pretty much a traditional anti-American leftist with libertarian tendencies. On the Wuhan pandemic, he has been instrumental in using his platform to call out bullsh**.

...

There is more.

It could be the media is losing interest in helping this mental cripple over the line.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
