Joe Biden will probably pick a black woman as his running mate. Here’s hoping that it’s failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams if for no other reason than that it will finally make clear just how overrated she is.

This love affair that several in the media appear to have with her doesn’t really make sense. She hasn’t done anything truly noteworthy, and she obnoxiously spent months saying she considered herself the real governor of Georgia despite clearly losing that race.

Despite the economic cost and emotional toll, Americans have heeded orders and practiced social distancing to ensure hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. But the public’s patience won’t last forever, and it is most likely to fray when officials impose arbitrary restrictions that defy common sense.

With the U.S. budget deficit for 2020 originally set at $1 trillion, now triple that, there is going to be a hard reckoning for the allocation of our diminished resources after the nation reopens. And policing the planet is likely to be seen as yesterday’s priority, and a primary candidate for discard.

Washington Free Beacon

Few have been more unwilling to not let the crisis go to waste than Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.). She delayed passage of the last bailout bill by more than a week, floating a 1,400-page counter-proposal jam-packed with special handouts and diversity mandates. She has pushed tax cuts for blue-state billionaires and commended her colleagues for delaying Republican efforts to shore up the economy.

No doubt Americans will be thrilled to hear the State Department under Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been flying in Afghans by the planeload and distributing them in towns throughout the country.

The coronavirus could usher in an era of culinary consolidation and dining at home. Can our eateries and bars survive?

The virus's genetic code and its nonmaximal mortality rates suggest it came from a bat rather than a bioweapons lab project. Even if the science is strong that it originated with animal-to-human transmission, however, it's plausible that it could have been the result of botched research into bats that infected a lab worker and got outside the facility.

I notice that the same people telling Americans they must remain at home indefinitely were indignant about closing bathhouses in response to the AIDS epidemic. Back then, the media and gays said: “How dare you ask us to shut down the bathhouses! They’re part of gay culture. It would be like asking Catholics to stop visiting the Sistine Chapel” But putting the entire country under stay-at-home orders? No problem.

 A million American lives are needlessly lost every single year, mostly from tobacco, followed by overeating and alcohol. Yet this hasn’t changed a thing; they are all legal. Why? Because of freedom and economics. You see, it’s your American right to smoke, drink, and overeat—just as it is the tobacco, alcohol, food, and drug companies’ right to profit from it.

America’s immigration problems are akin to a virus itself, with many strains and mutations. One problem that should be quickly targeted and terminated in the post-coronavirus world is the birth tourism scam.

Reflexive opposition to President Trump means that the press has placed itself in a curious echo chamber with him. When he says something, almost literally anything, they feel that they need to correct it. If Trump is preaching hope, they need to correct it with despair. If Trump says this virus came from China, they have to say that it came from Europe. 

Wall Street Journal

European politicians understand their economies have been in lockdown for months already and the economic and social costs aren’t sustainable. No one thinks a big-bang reopening is feasible, but making it past the peak disaster in hospitals or avoiding excessive stress on health-care systems allows for a phased return to whatever the post-virus normal will be.

National Review

Timelines grow shorter. The virus and the draconian reaction to it are wearing down a quarantined America.

Kurt Schlichter:  Do you think that millions of college students and their parents haven’t noticed that the only difference between staring at a screen and staring at some hippie burnout prof run his filthy bunghole is that the students aren’t getting hammered in the dorms every night? The four-year party model of post-secondary education was headed for retirement anyway and this is really ripping away academia’s lame claims that campuses are necessary to get a real education.
