It’s Probably Nothing
Don’t go off half cocked. But given the wide gulf between the number of officially reported cases and the brutality of Chinese officials on the ground enforcing the quarantines, it does make you wonder.
Update. (corrected)
Three hours ago, it appears that the CCP put out a directive to lock down Beijing residential communities. https://t.co/WCF24Hfd4r

More at Zerohedge: As for the now utterly meaningless death rate, one only wonders what goalseek model China is using ot keep the death rate within +/- 0.1% of 2.1% for the past two weeks.

Suspicions that the impeachment sham was a DNC scheme to prevent a fatally flawed Biden nomination look increasingly plausible.

There Is A Word For This
Peggy Noonan (to the amusement of Scott Adams fans) notices Trump persuasion for the first time;
There should be a word for “I know I’m being manipulated but I am moved anyway.” We need that word because it is the essence of our entire media/entertainment/political culture.
It’s an entertaining read, nonetheless.

So, you want an all-renewable power grid? Think twice
In the poorly understood world of electrical generation and transmission, a strange tale is unfolding. The mainstream media won’t touch it with a ten-foot pole, for a number of reasons – first, it is miles over their head, and second, the conclusions run counter to their current bombastic narrative about the “renewable energy revolution”. Here’s the full situation: the more predominant wind and solar power become on a grid, the less functional the grid becomes. Read on…
Y2Kyoto: Yale Law School Tuition Is $59,000
And worth every penny – Harvard and Yale Law students are calling for fellow students across the country to pledge to boycott Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison until the firm drops Exxon as its legal client.
I Dunno, It Worked For Obama.
You can get away with this “wanting to envision the hope to unify the dreams of all who hope in the vision of unity” stuff among small-town civic leaders looking for a councilman they can control. It even got Justin Trudeau elected mayor of America’s northern suburb. The leader of the free world needs a bit more clarity.
Actually, it’s just an excuse to share the quote.

An update on his condition and recovery.
A doctor explains, in the comments section at the National Post;
There is a difference between dependence and addiction. His daughter states this is dependence. Anyone, literally 100% of the population will form a dependence on Benzos if taken for long enough and they are horrific to come off of for everyone. There is a very big difference between addiction and dependence. This article blatantly conflates the two even though the video they posted from his daughter clearly states he developed dependence. As a medical professional I can tell you that Doctors must take more responsibility to ensure that dependency is not formed to benzos. That is different from addiction. Dependence on benzodiazepines can kill anyone. Addiction forms in a smaller portion of the population and generally extends to other drugs and activities to experience the effects of drugs/addictive behaviors. Try to respond with empathy, likelihood is you know someone who has formed dependence on substances and struggled to get off them. This man’s story is compelling. His wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer and formed a deeper dependence to manage the devastating consequences. Regardless of whether you agree with his views this is an all too common story.

“Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again”
The key word in that guideline is “humanistic.”
According to news reports about the proposed rule, these architectural elites are furious. Fine. That’s a sure sign the administration is on the right track. Most Americans may not have gone to prestigious design schools or worked at the hippest firms. On the other hand, we know ugly when we see it.
