Back In China With Xi Riding The Lockdown Tiger

The lockdowns in China may have made sense in the early days of flattening the curve while the world developed therapeutics, vaccines, expertise and facilities.

But China can't figure out how to quit and ease back into the world- COVID isn't going away, their population has relied on less-effective Chinese vaxxs and has no acquired natural immunity. Unrest!

Another Wild Weekend

Away we go.

That Went Well

Democrats keep the Senate, may even keep the House.

One of the many things that will make 2024 interesting - Republicans probably know by now that they have a problem and may even try to fix it. Democrats, on the other hand, may think their party has it all worked out.

IMHO (and that of George Will) someone has to thank Joe and Kamala for their service and push them out the door. That's harder after this recent Dem success in which neither was on the ballot.

Election Day!

What with all the extended voting rules Election Day is now the end of the beginning. Brookings has background on the various timetables states have adopted for processing and counting absentee ballots. Close races are likely to lead to delayed results in, eg, Pennsylvania.
