VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: ‘Unity’ Means One Neck, Prepared for the Leash.
Insanity Wrap needs to know: Why won’t the Nazi right-wingers embrace unity with Lightbringer II after four years of being called Nazis?
Answer: Because they’re Nazis, you hater Nazi. Now let’s sing kumbaya.
Before we get to the sordid details, a quick preview of today’s Wrap.
- Media marvels that hardly anyone noticed the story they buried.
- Ryan Long presents: Your Mom is a feminist.
- Obama shares his milquetoast playlist to pretend fanfare.
And so much more at the link, you’d have to be crazy to miss it.
REALCLEARINVESTIGATIONS: The FBI Spying Denial That Never Grows Cold. “Four years after the FBI sent ‘Confidential Human Sources’ secretly to gather information on Donald Trump’s team, the president’s opponents in politics and the media continue to deny that the bureau spied on his 2016 campaign. They are now using that denial to dismiss questions of voting irregularities in the 2020 election by arguing that Trump and his allies traffic in outrageous falsehoods for partisan purposes.”
APPARATCHIKS ARE GONNA SHILL FOR THE APPARAT:
THE DOOBIE WOULD BE ROLLED. THE GANJA WOULD BE COMFORTABLE.

Ralph Northam Announces Support for Legalizing Marijuana.
(Classical allusion in headline.)
UNEXPECTEDLY: The iOS COVID-19 app ecosystem has become a privacy minefield. “The results show that only 47 of that subset of 359 apps use Google and Apple’s more privacy-friendly exposure-notification system, which restricts apps to only Bluetooth data collection. More than six out of seven COVID-19-focused iOS apps worldwide are free to request whatever privacy permissions they want, with 59 percent asking for a user’s location when in use and 43 percent tracking location at all times. Albright found that 44 percent of COVID-19 apps on iOS asked for access to the phone’s camera, 22 percent of apps asked for access to the user’s microphone, 32 percent asked for access to their photos, and 11 percent asked for access to their contacts.”
WELL, THAT’S A CONVENIENT ARGUMENT FOR THE RACE-GRIFTERS, ANYWAY: Professor says questioning systemic racism ‘is itself offensive and racist.’
MANY WILL THINK THAT THIS MEDDLING RENDERS A BIDEN PRESIDENCY ILLEGITIMATE:
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Trump Needs To Go Scorched-Earth Until Next January 20th. “If President Trump does get around to concrete moving plans soon, I hope they include a scorched-earth purging of the Deep State and an industrial draining of the swamp . These are things that he’s been working on since he got into office but I think he was probably on an eight year pace for the project. Now that it looks like he may only have four it’s time to hit warp speed.”
TO BE FAIR, HIS ADS LITERALLY PROMISED THAT HE’D DO WHAT TRUMP WAS ALREADY DOING: Seen on Facebook: “Also interesting, when really pushed on what @JoeBiden would do differently than @realDonaldTrump on #COVID19, the Biden aides on the shows are offering NOTHING different. They talk about more testing etc. but nothing really substantively different in terms of policy.”

TECH TYRANNY: Silencing Conservative News With A Sick New Tactic — This Is Big. “The call for ‘deplatforming extremists’ wasn’t about something outrageous Milo or Alex Jones had said. It was a template for naming anyone right of Stalin as ‘extreme’ and sending our sites to the chopping block.”
THIS ELECTION HAS BEEN BAD FOR THE NARRATIVE: Another surprise: Hispanic, Democratic voters backed Trump immigration limits.
Related: “Why Are So Many Latinos Obsessed With Demonizing Black Lives Matter? It’s Complicated.” “This is an article from October 5th — at WLRN (the Miami NPR affiliate) — that begins ‘Joe Biden is expected to win the Latino vote big. But not so big in Florida.’ With hindsight, we know that the big Latino vote win did not happen. There was, in fact, puzzling drop in Latino voter support for Democrats. Let’s mine this article for some clues about why that happened. Remember, this is public radio.”
Plus: Liberals Envisioned a Multiracial Coalition. Voters of Color Had Other Ideas. To be fair, it was a multiracial coalition in which one race was more favored than others, which didn’t win points with those others. “Asian-American Californians opposed the affirmative action measure in large numbers. A striking number of East and South Asian students have gained admission to elite state universities, and their families spoke to reporters of their fear that their children would suffer if merit in college selection was given less weight. . . . Latinos, too, appear sharply divided. Prominent Latino nonprofit and civil rights organizations endorsed the affirmative action proposition even as all 14 of California’s majority-Latino counties voted it down.”
Minority “activist” groups have views that differ from those of actual minority voters. But when you realize that these groups — just like gay activist groups, women’s activist groups, peace activist groups, etc. — are actually just fronts for the Democratic/left apparat, it makes sense. They have to be concerned, though, that their voters are catching on to the game.

BIDEN HAS ENDORSED REPEALING THE SO-CALLED “SUBMINIMUM WAGE” FOR WORKERS WITH DOWN SYNDROME AND SIMILAR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES: If the aim is to push individuals with Down Syndrome out of the workforce, I guess it’s a great idea. But if the aim is to help them and their families out, it’s a rock stupid idea. (Here’s a point worth noting: Their families appear to be overwhelming against it.)

ONE HAND WASHES THE OTHER: Joe Biden, Black Lives Matter activists helped you win Wisconsin. Don’t forget us. “These demands are not coming from Kenosha alone, but from all across the country, where the Black Lives Matter movement – the largest social uprising in our nation’s history – has inspired a new generation of voters and activists. So while racial justice leaders may have helped Biden take back the White House, come January 2021, we’ll be reminding him exactly who got him there.”
“By whatever means necessary,” one presumes.
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): A friend texts: “Not to pick nits but the Tea Party actually got a swath of congressmen elected. BLM appears to have had the opposite effect.”
MICHAEL WALSH: Coronavirus Ushers in an Unconstitutional Hell for America.
Thanks to the dreaded Covid-19, it’s good-bye Thanksgiving and, soon enough, farewell Christmas. And after that, who knows?
Having discovered that Americans have lost their spines and are now easily penned inside their homes like two-legged sheep, the petty potentates who rule—not govern, rule—far too many states and municipalities have concluded that we will never fight back, never resist, and never reject their latest whimsical edicts.
For proof, look no farther than California, where 41 of the state’s 58 counties have just been returned to most-restricted status and a statewide curfew is now being bruited in Sacramento. California is “pulling an emergency brake,” as CCP virus “cases” rise, said Newsom, who recently attended a pricey private birthday party at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley, violating his own Caligulan guidelines.
There are vague promises that things might begin to open again next year, but don’t hold your breath. “Two weeks to slow the spread” and “fifteen days to flatten the curve” have long since morphed into a semi-permanent nanny state in which the very act of slowing and flattening ensures that the virus will go on indefinitely by guaranteeing a continuous stream of new “cases” with which to frighten the public and increase government power.
In defiance of all previous medical experience, the Covid “pandemic” has muzzled the population with bank-robber masks, driven families asunder, forced elderly couples to die apart, punished schoolchildren with the false promise of “remote learning,” made Americans eye each other with suspicion and sidle away, and created a near-Stasi level of rats and snitches only too happy to inform on their fellow citizens.
It’s also killed the hospitality industry, the airlines, and commercial real estate. And all in brazen violation of the Constitution’s explicit guarantees of freedom of speech, assembly, and religious observance.
It has been a monstrous disgrace, made even worse by its supine acceptance. But even more dire consequences have followed the arrival of the Chinese Communist Party on our shores. In short order:
* Masks became normalized, even mandated, thus allowing the brutal, cowardly thugs of Antifa and Black Lives Matter “activists” to go about in public in ninja mufti, faces concealed in violation of innumerable local ordinances. Once, the wearing of a concealing mask was practically prima facie proof of criminal intent but now, thanks to the irresponsible and self-aggrandizing Dr. Anthony Fauci and other “experts,” the lack of a mask signals an inability to accept authority and perhaps also a willingness to expel the phantom virus into the faces of the innocent.
* With the public rise of the neo-fascist Left in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, urban disorder became mainstreamed, justified as it was by calling it “mostly peaceful” protest against the United States of America and its form of government. Even as private gatherings were being banned, thousands gathered in the streets to demonstrate against the American constitution and celebrate Donald Trump’s apparent electoral defeat. Indeed, “Black Lives Plaza” on one of the most expensive blocks in Washington, D.C., violates private property and civil rights within sight of the White House.

WASHINGTON STATE ISSUES SWEEPING RESTRICTIONS TO COMBAT CORONAVIRUS SURGE:
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) on Sunday announced broad new restrictions that will affect restaurants, theaters, gyms and indoor gatherings.
The new restrictions will last for at least four weeks. Restaurants will be allowed to operate only outdoor service, and parties will be limited to five or fewer people. Gyms, theaters and museums will be shut down, The Seattle Times reported.
Gatherings with people outside a single household will be prohibited unless those involved have quarantined for a week and tested negative for the coronavirus. Religious services and offices will be allowed to remain open, though they must operate at 25 percent capacity. If possible, workplaces should mandate that employees work from home.
Schools and courts will not be affected, though the newspaper noted that they are already operating remotely for the most part. The new guidelines do not apply to child care, and construction and manufacturing will be allowed to continue operating.
CTL-F “Protest” brings up zero results, but this headline from July likely answers the question: Gov. Inslee: ‘Evidence is pretty strong’ protests haven’t increased spread of COVID-19.

GREAT MOMENTS IN PROJECTION: Brian Williams Frets Trump Voters are ‘Tyranny-Curious.’
Does Brian Williams know which cable network he works for?
FINALLY: Burgess Owens’ Opponent Concedes. Owens wins back Utah’s 4th Congressional District seat for Republicans. “Congressman-elect Burgess Owens got the call Monday that he’d been waiting for from Utah’s only Democrat in Congress, Rep. Ben McAdams, conceding their 4th Congressional District race that has been too close to call since Election Day on Nov. 3.”
In 1973, Burgess was “drafted in the 1st round by the NY Jets. Later that year he was selected as the Jets Rookie of the Year and to the NFL’s All- Rookie team. He led the Jets defense in interceptions 5 of 7 years and was selected as the team Defensive Captain for three seasons. After being traded to the Oakland Raiders, Burgess lead the Raiders defensive squad in tackles on their way to a Super Bowl Championship in 1980.”
JIM TREACHER: Obama Really Knew How to Handle Putin, According to Obama.
Obama then claims that he allowed Putin to rant for 45 minutes without interrupting, as if he had any say in the matter. And then, Obama claims he debated Putin point-by-point for two hours. Don’t you just love science fiction?
This anecdote is particularly amusing to students of history, which at this point includes anyone who remembers anything that happened before 5:30 PM yesterday. All the way back in 2012, Obama scolded Mitt Romney with this immortal soundbite:
I’ve watched that clip dozens of times over the years, and my favorite part is Obama fumbling over his rehearsed talking points. “Okay, it was… uh… foreign policies of the 1980s, and then… oh yeah, the social policies of the 1950s… er…”
And that was after Obama’s 2009 “debate” with Putin. So I guess Barry thought he had bested his opponent. But then the 2016 election happened, and suddenly Putin was the Boogeyman again. Now libs blame the evil Russkies for everything.* Somehow, within the space of four years, Russia went from forgotten has-beens to America’s #1 enemy all over again. And all it took was a Democrat losing an election. Weird how that works, huh?
Related: Obama Calls for More Big Tech ‘Fact-Checking’ in Wake of Trump Getting 71M Votes.
Former President Barack Obama lamented the fact that President Donald Trump won 71 million votes in the 2020 election, blaming the “current media environment” for a supposed lack of an “informed citizenry.” He called for “the media” and “the tech companies” to “inform the public better” and “separate truth from fiction.” Obama said this just as Facebook, Twitter, and legacy media outlets have worked to bury or undermine important stories like the Hunter Biden emails and the irregularities in the 2020 election.
Of course, Obama chooses a venue where he’s not going to get fact-checked: “Obama — who droned weddings & targeted journalists — compares [Trump] to a dictator who thinks, ‘I can kill people. I can throw them in jail. … I can suppress journalists,’” while DNC operative with a lavalier Scott Pelley remains silent.
EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Democrat concedes House race in New York and another race is looking good for the GOP (Update: Another concession). “Ben McAdams won the seat from Republican Mia Love in 2018. Now Burgess Owens is taking it back. So this puts the GOP at +9 in the House (+10 if Tenney, mentioned above, wins) and thee are still a couple more close races where the GOP could pick up additional seats.”
For a guy who supposedly lost, Trump had coattails; for a guy who supposedly won, Biden sure didn’t.
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Is This the End of College as We Know It?
Rachael Wittern earned straight As in high school, a partial scholarship to college and then a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. She is now 33 years old, lives in Tampa, earns $94,000 a year as a psychologist and says her education wasn’t worth the cost. She carries $300,000 in student debt.
Dr. Wittern’s 37-year-old husband worked in a warehouse for several years before becoming an apprentice electrician. He expects to earn comparable money when he’s finished—minus the debt. When and if they have children, Dr. Wittern says her advice will be to follow her husband’s path and avoid a four-year degree. . . .
For more than a century, a four-year college degree was a blue-chip credential and a steppingstone to the American dream. For many millennials and now Gen Z, it has become an albatross around their necks.
Millennials are the most educated generation in the nation’s history, but they are broke compared with their predecessors. So why would they direct their children to take the same path?
“They probably won’t,” says John Thelin, a historian of higher education and professor at the University of Kentucky.
If only there had been some sort of warning.

AMBITIOUS HACKS LIKE SANDERS ARE EXACTLY WHY WE SHOULDN’T HAVE DEPARTMENTS LIKE LABOR: Sen. Bernie Sanders Confirms He’s Seeking Labor Secretary Position.
Last January, a small but telling exchange took place at an Elizabeth Warren campaign event in Grimes, Iowa. At the time, Warren was attracting support from the Democratic Party’s left flank, with her bulging portfolio of progressive proposals. “Warren Has a Plan for That” read her campaign T-shirts. The biggest buzz surrounded her $1.25 trillion plan to pay off student-loan debt for most Americans.
A man approached Warren with a question. “My daughter is getting out of school. I’ve saved all my money [so that] she doesn’t have any student loans. Am I going to get my money back?”
“Of course not,” Warren replied.
“So you’re going to pay for people who didn’t save any money, and those of us who did the right thing get screwed?”
A video of the exchange went viral. It summed up the frustration many feel over the way progressive policies so often benefit select groups, while subtly undermining others. Saving money to send your children to college used to be considered a hallmark of middle-class responsibility. By subsidizing people who run up large debts, Warren’s policy would penalize those who took that responsibility seriously. “You’re laughing at me,” the man said, when Warren seemed to wave off his concerns. “That’s exactly what you’re doing. We did the right thing and we get screwed.”
That father was expressing an emotion growing more common these days: he felt like a chump. Feeling like a chump doesn’t just mean being upset that your taxes are rising or annoyed that you’re missing out on some windfall. It’s more visceral than that. People feel like chumps when they believe that they’ve played a game by the rules, only to discover that the game is rigged. Not only are they losing, they realize, but their good sportsmanship is being exploited. The players flouting the rules are the ones who get the trophy. Like that Iowa dad, the chumps of modern America feel that the life choices they’re most proud of—working hard, taking care of their families, being good citizens—aren’t just undervalued, but scorned.
The “Chump Effect” could be going (even more) viral soon:

But Biden is casting himself as a moderate uniter, and releasing Trump’s returns risks looking like a vindictive investigation of his predecessor.” Well, not just “looking like.”
