Wall Street Journal (Flashback: Jan. 11, 2021)

Inflaming emotions isn’t a crime. The president didn’t mention violence, much less provoke it.

Peggy Noonan: Everything living wants to live, including this stupid little virus. It will shape-shift, find new entry points—anything to stay alive. But what we’re seeing now is the pandemic in its death throes. It’s going at everyone’s throats, in a frenzy, but it’s weaker than it was and knows it.

Wall Street Journal

Joe Manchin’s decision on Sunday to oppose the Build Back Better Act is a service to the country, sparing it from huge tax increases and new entitlements that would fan inflation and erode the incentive for Americans to work. Paradoxically, it is also a blessing for Democrats if they get the message, and it offers President Biden a chance to reboot.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is threatening to withhold payments to healthcare facilities unless they require the Covid-19 vaccine for their workers. The CMS policy has the potential to backfire and jeopardize patient access, safety and the quality of care for millions of Americans.

Markets sold off worldwide on Friday after South Africa raised alarm about the new “variant of concern” that the World Health Organization named Omicron. The panic may be driven more by the fear of new government lockdowns and social distancing than by the variant itself…One clear lesson from the pandemic is that lockdowns do more harm than good.

Wall Street Journal

For the left, it’s become an occasion to air grievances ranging from “colonialism’ to ‘carbon footprints.”

Wall Street Journal

The left wants to cancel the WSJ’s annual Thanksgiving editorials. One is about the Pilgrims in 1620. The other reports on why we should be thankful for America’s current prosperity…We don’t mind giving critics a chance to make their case, but we won’t bend to political demands for censorship.

Wall Street Journal

Brad Raffensperger: The Clinton campaign and Stacey Abrams spread falsehoods about vote theft years before Trump’s loss.

Wall Street Journal

The latest climate confab achieved little, which is for the best.

Wall Street Journal

Advocates of mandating Covid vaccines equate them with standard childhood shots against diseases like polio…But those decades-old vaccines have gone through the full FDA testing regime. The Covid vaccine has received only emergency-use authorization for this age group, meaning its safety and efficacy have not yet been established to the FDA’s satisfaction.

Wall Street Journal

Donald Trump: The election was rigged, which you, unfortunately, still haven’t figured out.

Wall Street Journal

The CDC’s policies hinder learning and provide no meaningful reduction in Covid-19 transmission.

Wall Street Journal

What began as an effort to hire more minorities has turned into a demand for ideological engagement.

Wall Street Journal

At the top of the list are right-wing extremistswho’ve been officially designated the greatest domestic threat to U.S. security, but whose ranks seem, in the eyes of the nation’s top lawyer, to include some less obviously malevolent characters, including perhaps anyone who protested the results of the 2020 election.

Wall Street Journal

The virus is thankfully ebbing again, and vaccine boosters should reduce the infection and death toll. But the damage to the U.S. economy and individual liberty that Mr. Biden has done may prove more stubborn.

Wall Street Journal

In the 1980s, Fauci and Redfield sowed fear about a heterosexual epidemic that never happened.
