SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

JERK, SON OF JERKS – FROM AMERICAN THINKER:    Apparently, all would be paradise in crime-pit San Francisco if it weren't for all those lazy, racist cops who are persecuting poor, heroic, Chesa Boudin, the city's leftist do-nothing district attorney.  That's the word from young Chesa, stepson of Bill Ayers, son of a terrorist convicted of killing a black cop, and former Hugo Chavez advisor, who's suddenly found himself unpopular in the city and facing a voter recall.According to KPIX5 CBS of San Francisco, (hat tip: LegalInsurrection.com):  "District Attorney Chesa Boudin claimed Sunday that placing blame on his prosecutors for crime in San Francisco’s neighborhoods is miscast and should be focused on the police officers union and a poor clearance rate of crimes that are reported to police."   The guy was brought into existence by 1960s radicals.  He hasn't learned a thing.  Only in ultra-left San Francisco could he be elected to any office.  I hope the more mature locals throw him out.

THIS MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY – FROM DAILY MAIL:   An explosive new study claims that Chinese scientists created COVID-19 in a Wuhan lab, then tried to cover their tracks by reverse-engineering versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats.  The paper's authors, British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr. Birger Sørensen, wrote that they have had 'prima facie evidence of retro-engineering in China' for a year - but were ignored by academics and major journals.  Dalgleish is a professor of oncology at St George's University, London, and is best known for his breakthrough creating the first working 'HIV vaccine', to treat diagnosed patients and allow them to go off medication for months.
Sørensen, a virologist, is chair of pharmaceutical company, Immunor, which developed a coronavirus vaccine candidate called Biovacc-19. Dalgleish also has share options in the firm.   The shocking allegations in the study include accusations of 'deliberate destruction, concealment or contamination of data' at Chinese labs, and it notes the silencing and disappearance of scientists in the communist country who spoke out.   Our so-called press is now rushing to catch up to the evidence, having laughed at it when Donald Trump was in the White House.  The next walk-back should involve climate change, where scare tactics have gone way beyond the evidence to create a crisis that doesn't exist.  But a few will get rich on it.
