   President Biden “campaigned on a promise to bring Republicans and   
   Democrats together,” but “less than two months into his new   
   administration,” he has killed “hope for unity and bipartisanship,”   
   laments Marc A. Thiessen at The Washington Post. In ramming through the   
   $1.9 trillion COVID relief package without Republican support, “Biden made   
   a decision not to cooperate.” Democrats believed they “had to act fast if   
   they were going to use the pandemic as a justification for a massive   
   expansion of the welfare state.” This sends a clear message that they   
   “intend to use their historically narrow congressional majorities to ram   
   through as much big government spending as they can before the 2022   
   midterm elections.” If they do, “Joe Biden — the president who promised to   
   restore bipartisanship — will preside over its burial.”   
      
   Iconoclast: Questioning the BLM Curriculum   
      
   “The BLM at School movement is gaining momentum in Democratic strongholds   
   around the country,” yet, Conor Friedersdorf complains at The Atlantic,   
   much of the material “crosses a line from education into indoctrination”   
   as it “unapologetically aims to create a new generation of allied   
   activists.” This curriculum “rejects individualism and aspirational color-   
   blindness” and “acts in solidarity with projects including decoloniality,   
   anti-capitalism and queer liberation.” One BLM-educated girl’s parent   
   reports: “When I tried to explain to her . . . why some families support   
   the police, she wasn’t open to considering that view. She had a blinding   
   certainty that troubled me. She thinks that even raising the question is   
   racist.”   
      
   Science beat: The ‘Chilling Effect’ on Debate   
      
   The pandemic and lockdowns have had “a chilling effect on the scientific   
   community,” worry Drs. Martin Kulldorff and Jay Bhattacharya at The   
   Federalist. “Politicians and (alas) scientists have engaged in vicious   
   slander of dissident scientists” and called for “censorship in place of   
   debate.” The Journal of the American Medical Association, for example, ran   
   an articling “defaming” Dr. Scott Atlas, a COVID adviser to President   
   Donald Trump, without even engaging Atlas’ “actual scientific views,”   
   after he sought to balance the risks of “viral spread” against “harms”   
   from lockdowns. Other prominent scientists were similarly maligned. The   
   “future of science” depends on encouraging “vigorous and hard scientific   
   debate” and combating “smears and slander.” If we don’t follow such a   
   course, our “300-year Age of Enlightenment will come to an end.”   
      
   Culture critic: Transgender Issues Need Debate   
      
   At The Wall Street Journal, Ryan T. Anderson stresses the importance of   
   being able to talk about “transgender equality” issues, like whether   
   “women in dire straits” should be “forced to spend the night” in shelters   
   “with men who identify as women.” Yet Amazon, which stopped offering   
   Anderson’s book on the subject, “When Harry Became Sally,” is using its   
   “outsize market power to prevent readers from accessing one side of this   
   debate.” Meanwhile, little is known about the causes of gender dysphoria,   
   “yet powerful institutions are promoting radical experimental therapies   
   for children.” Yes, we need to “respect” people who identify as   
   transgender, but we also must do “everything possible to protect young   
   people.” That requires a “better conversation about gender-identity   
   issues, and that’s why I wrote my book. No good comes from shutting down”   
   debate.   
      
   Foreign desk: You Can Stop China’s ‘Genocide’   
      
   In January, the State Department declared that China is waging “genocide”   
   to “destroy Muslim Uighurs,” note former US diplomats Keith Krach and   
   Ellie Cohanim at Newsweek. And Beijing’s actions “fit the definition of   
   punishable genocide” established by the UN after the Holocaust. Yet “the   
   free world” — corporations, universities, pensions — have not only “looked   
   the other way” but “financed” the Chinese Communist Party by, for   
   instance, “providing access to our capital markets.” Now it’s time to “do   
   something about it.” Americans should let their “voice be heard,” since   
   “fear of bad publicity is a powerful motivator.” The world “failed to stop   
   the Holocaust in the 20th century. We must not be too late to stop the   
   CCP’s genocide in Xinjiang in the 21st.”

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood

   President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
