Saying he only has “regrets” that are “too few to mention,” the scandal-ridden journalist compared himself to George Bailey as, before and during his final show, he was inundated with “lovely testimonials” that referred to him as “a gift to the country” filled with “grace,” “integrity,” “kindness,” “smarts,” “wisdom,” and “wit.”

Hollywood in Toto

“Being the Ricardos” examines how Ball, her industrious beau Desi Arnaz and the minds behind “Lucy,” ran head first into the Blacklist. Yes, it’s Hollywood’s favorite narrative, and it gives “Ricardos” its sense of danger. And, of course, the film stops to deliver messages about the sexism baked into 1950s America. Who saw that coming?

Rich Lowry: The sources of Putin’s appeal to populists, from Pat Buchanan to Tucker Carlson, are manifold. They admire his strength in advancing Russia’s interests. They think he has the right enemies, namely the same establishment that also scorned Donald Trump…The problem is that all of this is abstracted from the reality of Putin’s rule, which makes him one of the world’s most dangerous men and an unworthy steward of the Russian people’s interests.

David Kamioner: Mike Pence has gained a lot of credibility as someone who puts duty and country above political calculations. A guy like that could make a superb president. He has the requisite experience in the House, as Indiana governor, and as veep. But even better, he has a temperamental advantage in this time of overheated hyperbole. He’s not a drama queen. Very much like Ike.

Natural immunity gained from exposure to SARS-CoV-2 is an essential fundamental mechanism by which humanity will eventually tame the virus. Although vaccines are highly effective at preventing serious infections and death, they offer incomplete protection against infection itself, allowing the virus to spread among the population through mild or asymptomatically infected carriers.

Hollywood doesn’t make happy, cheerful Christmas movies anymore because it sees nothing to celebrate—not the holiday, not the culture, certainly not the family.

TIME named Simone Biles the 2021 Athlete of the Year. Why? Well because, to quote the outlet, she had “confusion in her eyes” and was “unsure of her whereabouts in midair.”…The sports world has weaponized mental health like it has weaponized racism, turning it into a conversation-stopper to separate one team from the other, the good guys and the bad.

At the outset of the Biden administration, Vice President Kamala Harris was a media darling, portrayed as the heir apparent and always willing to make a public appearance.

On Monday, Vice President Harris hung out with a group of activists known as the “Black Women Leaders and Allies,” a group which includes Cora Masters Barry.  You might remember Barry from a rowdy Zoom call last year in which Barry expressed her disdain for humans who were born white and female.

Her little discussion about why she wanted to revisit her speech for a MasterClass is a distillation of the awfulness that is Hillary.
