"11 Iranians arrested in Arizona after jumping U.S.-Mexico border." Drudge 2/4 To which I say, let's open those borders!

"San Fran sues district to force in person classes."  Drudge 2/4 There is no place like CA!

"Americans give up citizenship in record number." Drudge 2/5 Remember all those celebrities who threatened to leave the country if George W. Bush got elected? If Trump got elected?

"Off-road, off-grid--Modern nomads wandering America's back country."  Drudge 2/5 This sounds appealing, as long as we could still find hotels that have free breakfasts.

"People who become fat late in life live longest!" Drudge 2/5 Time to go back on a diet holiday!

"Fewer children attending school, remotely & in person."  Drudge 2/5 This would be good news if it included children attending elite, liberal colleges & universities

COVID

"A little-noticed article in the Baltimore Sun on January 29 revealed that the United States has “tens of millions of doses” of vaccines manufactured, packed up, and ready to go . . . but they still need authorization and approval from the FDA . . . "  Jim Geraghty, National Review Online 2/4

POLITICAL POTPOURRI

"Joe Biden’s tenure may mark a return to business as usual of the Bush-Clinton years. Or, more likely, it will accelerate the current hard-left trajectory. Either way, it seems that Biden is intent on provoking just such a pushback by his record number of early and often radical executive orders — a tactic that candidate Biden condemned. On almost every issue — open borders, blanket amnesties, canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, promoting the Green New Deal, and hard-left appointees — Biden is touting positions that likely do not earn 50 percent public support."  Victor Davis Hansen, NRO 2/4

"As of yesterday, Texas is no longer funding Planned Parenthood, having successfully removed the abortion company from the state’s list of eligible Medicaid providers. The move comes a few months after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Texas had the right to determine for itself whether or not to fund a particular provider through its Medicaid program."  Alexandra DeSantis, NRO 2/4

ACCESS TO INFORMATION

"The American public deserves the truth -- from its politicians and from any and all media. This should be a noncontroversial statement. But it is controversial, apparently. Not only are we not being told the truth; we are being prevented from hearing the truth told to us by anyone who has it -- or is actively seeking it. We are increasingly unable to even access information we could use to form our own independent assessments of what is true and what is not. This is appalling, and we must demand that it stop."  Laura Hollis, Townhall 2/4

THE WIT & WISDOM OF CAL THOMAS

"Conservatives who want to preserve America from what they regard as incremental socialism should embrace home schooling as a way to rescue the next generation and preserve the country. I have quoted her before, but sometimes repetition is needed for it to sink in. The late Barbara Bush said: "Your success as a family ... our success as a nation ... depends not on what happens inside the White House, but on what happens inside your house." She understood where real power comes from. Now, if more people will only seize that power and use it."  Townhall 2/4
