  • Covid-19 Test Distribution Plans Put More Pressure on U.S. Supply - WSJ

    People will be able order up to four tests per household on covidtests.gov that will be shipped within seven to 12 days.

    Outstanding!

    They’ll be leaving the warehouse on the delivery truck two days after I’ve recovered and am back at work. Then I’ll only have to wait 3-5 business days to receive my test.

  • The Week Biden’s Agenda Hit a Wall - WSJ

    It also cast a spotlight on key strategic decisions made by the president and his aides: Right out of the gate, Mr. Biden pursued a $1.9 trillion Covid-19 aid bill that some economists warned would spur inflation. He decided to push an employer-vaccine mandate that was legally questionable and politically controversial. And he cast passage of voting legislation as an absolute moral imperative, even though it would require persuading moderate Democrats to reverse longstanding positions on Senate rules.

    Sometimes when you go for broke, you end up broke.

    Three times in the same year? That’s not bad luck, that’s a pattern.

  • Who You Calling ‘Dastardly,’ Mr. Schumer? - WSJ Opinion

    Mr. Schumer wants to impose no-excuses absentee voting on the whole country under some version of H.R.1, but he can’t even convince his constituents in blue New York. Last year’s ballot included a measure to loosen the state constitution’s absentee requirement. Not only did it fail, but it wasn’t close, 55% to 45%. Another measure that would have allowed same-day voter registration also failed, 56% to 44%.

    It’s tiresome to keep flogging these facts, but important given the bizarre fixation on State election law changes that make voting more accessible than states like New York.

  • Navient, the Student Loan Punching Bag - WSJ Opinion

    In September it also sought to end its government servicing contract because it was more hassle than it is worth. But get this—Mr. Cordray, now chief operating officer of the Education Department’s Federal Student Aid office, requested that Navient renew the contract through 2023. Democrats need to keep around a punching bag as the government student loan debacle grows.

    I’m no fan of the services, maybe it’s an impossible task. But the editorial board makes some interesting, if unpopular, observations.

  • Russia Moves More Weaponry Toward Ukraine, Keeps the West Guessing - WSJ

    As diplomats were holding negotiations over the Ukraine crisis this week, Russia began moving tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, rocket launchers and other military equipment westward from their bases in its Far East, according to U.S. officials and social-media reports.

    Classic! The Americans think that diplomacy is the answer to all questions and the autocrats use it to forestall military intervention.

    The Russians spent eight years studying the Obama Administration on Iran & Syria and had their pencils ready for when the band got back together.

    Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Thursday that two-thirds of Russian forces were out of their garrisons.
