Poll: Americans Want Biden to Consider “All Possible Nominees”

From the story: During the spring 2020 presidential primaries, days before his set of big wins on Super Tuesday, Biden pledged to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, if elected. Now, with the chance to do so, just over three-quarters of Americans (76%) want Biden to consider “all possible nominees.” Just 23% want him to automatically follow through on his history-making commitment that the White House seems keen on seeing through (ABC News). From Senator Susan Collins: “… the way that the president has handled this nomination has been clumsy at best. It adds to the further perception that the court is a political institution like Congress when it is not supposed to be” (NY Post).

Joni Mitchell Removing Music from Spotify to “Stand with Neil Young”

The cancel culture wants a Joe Rogan scalp (NY Post). Spotify says they will create a coronavirus information hub in response to the backlash (Daily Wire). From Erick Erickson: The anti-censorship crowd wants to de-platform Joe Rogan. The anti-racists want kids to be defined by their race and class. The anti-segregations wants kids locked into public schools with no way out. Post-modernism is really just insanity pretending it’s the sane one (Daily Wire). From New Yok Times reporter Matthew Rosenberg: Joe Rogan is what he is. We in the media might want to spend more time thinking about why so many people trust him instead of us (Twitter). From Michael Knowles: Neil Young and Joni Mitchell have inspired me to announce that I will be taking “The Michael Knowles Show” off of Spotify in order to bring attention to myself (Twitter).

Study: Marijuana Impairs Driving for Up to 4 Hours

Also from the story: The researchers said in the report that the participants were hesitant to drive immediately after smoking but nearly 69% of the participants reported they were ready to drive at 1 hour 30 minutes post inhalation, setting up a potentially dangerous scenario. “Although users in the THC group felt impaired and were hesitant to drive at 30 minutes, by 1 hour-30 minutes they believed the impairment was wearing off and were more willing to drive. This was despite their performance not significantly improving from the 30 minute point.”

North Korea Completes More Missile Tests in January Than All of 2021

The worst dictators have no fear these days (Fox News). Then comes this from the Wall Street Journal: Irony died at the United Nations a long time ago, but now North Korea is dancing on its grave. See the recent news that Pyongyang—which conducted its seventh missile test of the year on Sunday—will soon chair the U.N. Conference on Disarmament. The 65-member forum, whose presidency rotates based on alphabetical order, exists to support nuclear disarmament and oppose the creation of new weapons of mass destruction. China currently has the job as it conducts its own secretive nuclear buildup. North Korea will take the role in May after Cuba’s rotation is over. Iran is also a member, if anyone is wondering (WSJ).

Spice Company Hurting After Calling All Republicans Racist

The Penzeys Spices CEO sent out this email: “Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person? What a bunch of racists.” The story then notes “Since sending his controversial email, Penzey sent out another missive Friday asking for gift card purchases and admitting that his company had since lost 40,005 subscribers, which is approximately 3% of their base.” Just 3 percent unsubscribed? After that?
