Bertie 218pm – Fauci has 1) already told us what his single-attribute utility answers are re the C19 response factors, and 2) that he is not being muzzled by the WH. His testifying in front of a Democrat star-chamber which only has one objective – to discredit Trump and all who work with him – will be totally counter productive to the administration’s work which the evil Left is trying to discredit. Fauci can always resign if he feels that he is being compromised on the WH task force, and that would itself cause a Dem-beneficial political uproar. But he doesn’t because he feels his counsel is being properly processed by the political leadership that necessarily hews to a two-attribute utility (balancing health and economy). Fauci understands that; you and yours don’t.

If she’s trying to walk it back with the help of the DNC’s lamestream and, of course, supported by our local lefties, then we not only have evidence of a double standard at work, but also a plausibe payoff for her to retract as much and as quickly as she can.

I take Tara’s statement as correcting a headline, not that Biden did not grap her, kiss her, and digitally penetrate her. Whether Tara did no use the phase ‘sexual assualt’ at the time has no bearing on whether she was sexually penetrated by Handsy Joe.
The real issue is not whether the assualt took place or not. I have not a clue. The issue here has always been the double standard with the treatment of Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh own accuser named her witnesses, all of whom denied or could not collaberate ever seeing Brett and Ford together, ever. As far as the evidivence goes, not one human on earth can place her at the party of her peers..or if the party ever took place…at least THAT party. But, that is not the real issue either.
The Left told us the accusser must be believed, the accussed must disprove a negative, that due process must be cast aside, and its the seriousness of the charge (not the evidence) that is the only thing that matters.
Now the Left (and its media appendage) do not like the whirlwind they created coming back on one of their own.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump moved Friday night to replace a top official at the Department of Health and Human Services who angered him with a report last month highlighting supply shortages and testing delays at hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic.
The White House waited until after business hours to announce the nomination of a new inspector general for the department who, if confirmed, would take over for Christi A. Grimm, the principal deputy inspector general who was publicly assailed by the president at a news briefing three weeks ago.
