Jen Psaki, who is fully vaxxed, has tested positive for covid.

She never wears a mask in press conferences. I have long complained about the media never wearing masks when they deliver the news -- Jake Tapper sat at his fake desk and criticized Trump for not wearing a mask at the podium, while not wearing a mask himself.

These people demand everyone wear a mask, but then don't wear one themselves. Because it's inconvenient. Because, they think, the public needs to see their fugly mugs.

Because they, being Scientists In All But Name, have run the Variables and have Calculated that the Risks of going maskless are exceeded by the benefits of going maskless.

But no one else is permitted to make this calculation for themselves. No, Democrat operatives and media types (but I repeat myself) are Honorary Scientists by virtueo of having spent nine months getting the most worthless, least rigorous of all post-graduate degrees. With the possible exception of the masters in education.

She's also claiming her "mild" symptoms are due to her being vaxed. But she can't know that, and doesn't know that. Kurt Schlichter wasn't vaxed when he caught covid (this was before the vax was available), he had very mild symptoms. His wife only had somewhat worse symptoms. Many people who are younger and who have no comorbidities do not have serious symptoms.

I should also say that some younger, healthier people get very bad symptoms from covid, including possibly-permanent lung scarring and other problems.

But you can't attribute mild symptoms to the vax. Unless you're a political actor who is just a partisan for the vaccine.

But partisans for the vaccine can make non-scientific claims all day long without any fear of censorship, deplatforming, or having their statements labeled as "misleading" or "lacking context."

Anthony Weiner's estranged "wife" Huma Abedin says she hasn't ruled out running for office.

Smart to mention this now. Because the Hillary Clinton Brand has never been stronger.

The former top aide to Hillary Clinton was asked on the "Today" show if she'd consider her own run for office after spending years behind the scenes as Clinton’s confidant and with her own estranged husband, Anthony Weiner.

"I am copying Shonda Rhimes. This is my year of saying yes," Abedin said, referring to the Hollywood heavyweight’s memoir, "Year of Yes."

"I'm not saying no to anything," she added.

Co-anchor Savannah Guthrie replied, "Wow. OK, you’re making a little news there again. That was yes."

"Well, that was I don’t know," said Abedin, laughing.

I mean, she'll have the Bill Kristol Vote, for what that's worth.

Content warning for the picture with this story: I woman said she bottle-fed her babies, but she's chosen to breastfeed... her bulldog.

If you think "Well at least none of the remaining stories can get worse than that," an "influencer" wore a sexy dress to her father's funeral and used the casket as a prop for flirting with the camera.

Jayne Rivera, 20, posed for a series of photos at her father's funeral in Florida earlier this week

She wore a revealing black dress and took several snaps showing it off, with her deceased father visible behind her

She added the hashtags #dadless #veteran #ptsd #funeral #neverforgotten

Reddit users slammed her as 'despicable,' 'horrific,' 'repulsive,' and narcissistic

Rivera defended the post after Instagram disabled her account, saying her dad supported her career as a 'full-time influencer' and would have approved

"#Dadless."

She certainly behaves as if she grew up HashtagDadless.

This future blogger for either The Bulwark or Hot Air gave out nasty notes telling children to go home and self-isolate for Halloween -- and complimentary Festive Masks.

I have no information here, but this is my speculation: National Review has reached out to moderate Republicans who still have some credibility with conservatives and asked them, Please promote our latest grift-drive, we're desperate.

Brit Hume's endorsement sounds nearly backhanded.

"They didn't blow themselves up"?! High praise indeed!

Hey guys, buy the new Edsel! It didn't blow itself up!
