The Virus is Soaring and Stocks are Plunging

The virus is soaring and stocks are plunging. And Dr. Fauci says we’re still in the first wave, with no stimulus in sight.
Hunter Biden’s Laptop and Newly Skeptical Dems

A copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop computer turned up at the New York Post last week. It was delivered by President Trump’s friend and lawyer Rudy Giuliani. How convenient.
And it turns out the FBI has possession of the actual computer.
There’s an email on the the computer from a Burisma adviser thanking Hunter for arranging a meeting with his father who was vice president at the time. And another from a Chinese energy company pinpointing Joe Biden as the “Big Guy” demanding a 10% share in a deal they were planning.
Newly skeptical Democrats are calling it a Russian disinformation smear. But Hunter’s former partner Tony Bobulinski says otherwise.
Exponential Growth Supreme Court Packing

Exponential growth is great for your 401k but not so much for the U.S. Supreme Court. But that’s what we might expect if Joe Biden packs the court. Follow the link to Real Clear Politics for a real clear example.
Pelosi’s Threat Comes and Goe

Nancy Pelosi’s threat of a Tuesday deadline to accept her stimulus terms has come and gone. They’re still negotiating.
I liked my original sketch better with Pelosi holding a gun to her head. But editors might not run it. So, if a cartoon falls in the forest and nobody sees it… what good is it?

I thought it was pretty funny when Cleavon Little did it in Blazing Saddles. (Trigger word warning for humor impaired)
NBA Title mostly watched by Cardboard Cutouts

Lebron won his fourth NBA title but nobody saw it. Well, not exactly nobody – in addition to the cardboard cutouts, 8.29 million breathing people watched on ABC. But that was 57.6% drop in viewership since LeBron’s last NBA Finals performance with the Cavs in 2018 .
Commissioner Adan Silver seemed to think that another area where LeBron execells, social justice messaging, had something to do with it. So next season the players will be asked to message on their own time.
