No Love from Biden for Trump Vaccine Effort
President Biden isn’t showing his predecesor any love for the vaccines that have the pandemic on the run. Donald Trump flogged Operation Warp Speed. It was a Manhattan Project style effort to find a vaccine. Trump’s overexposure to daily press conferences may have killed his re-election. But Warp Speed was a big success.
Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson developed, tested and jabbed vaccines into people’s arms in less than a year. It’s a process that normally takes many years.
Trump Vaccine Effort
President Biden’s response? “We inherited a mess.” Biden said that when he took office there was no plan for a vaccine rollout. And he bragged that he would ramp up to 100 million vaccines in his first hundred days. But the country was already vaccinating almost 1 million per day when he took office. And President Biden himself had already received his two shots by then.

We Were Afraid Data Would be Used Against Us
We froze because we were afraid the data was going to be used against us.
Melissa DeRosa, Top aid to NY Governor Andrew Cuomo
Governor Cuomo had ordered coronavirus patients into NYC nursing homes. And almost 15,000 seniors died. But the state only reported 8,500 deaths.
New York Attorney General Letitia James reported that the governor had undercounted the state’s COVID-related nursing home deaths by nearly 4,000, making the true nursing home resident death toll about 40 percent higher than Cuomo’s administration claimed. Then, Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa admitted during a private conference call with Democrats that the administration had covered up the true death toll, afraid of provoking a Department of Justice investigation.

Lincoln Project Swamp Creatures get Rich Quick
The Lincoln Project’s Band of Brothers—initially four financially strapped, embittered middle-aged white male Washington insiders—lectured the country that those few, those happy few, that band of brothers would fight for us. If only they were adequately funded, they could save us from the moral turpitude of four more years of Trump.
Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness
Professor Hanson above is describing four establishment Republican campaign consultants dedicated to defeating Trump and electing Joe Biden.
Donors and lucrative on-line anti-Trump ads solved the inadequate funding problem by raising ninety million dollars. But half of that went to firms run by the founders.
And as for moral turpitude, twenty-one men accused Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver of sexual harassment.
Co-founder George Conway is calling for an investigation. His wife is former Trump counselor Kelleyanne Conway.
And another co-founder, Steve Schmidt, has pulled out.
Room Temperature Impeachment Targets
Given that Donald Trump is out of office, and apparently need not be present to win – or lose, could room temperature impeachments become the next big lockdown hit? Let’s dig up some oldies but goodies, and not so goodies, for the scarlet “I”.
Room Temperature Impeachment
How about Earl Warren? He was a popular impeachment target in the South when there was real systemic racism Jim Crow style.
Andrew Johnson must be spinning in his grave now that Trump has doubled his impeachment total.
Or how about Richard Nixon? He wrangled a resignation and pardon from his successor President Gerald Ford. Maybe Trump could have worked the same deal with his loyal vice president – the ” weak,” “pathetic“,”unpatriotic,” “pussy” Mike Pence.
Or not.
