There is a lot of work to be done to persuade people to get vaccines. Anti-vaxx teachers and other anti-vaxx groups gathered at Foley Square in New York City to protest the vaccine mandate put in place by the city on teachers. I have news for anyone who thinks that having a Biden-Harris bumper sticker on your Subaru wagon is going to ward off evil coronavirus spirits: The vaccination rate in Florida is about the same as it is in New Hampshire, Virginia, Delaware and Colorado, and higher than it is in Wisconsin or Minnesota. This year’s red-state wave is the fault of the people in those states and their governments. Got that? Donald Trump was to blame for the (overwhelmingly blue-state) wave of COVID infections last year. With the red states, though, the White House’s message is: “Our patience is wearing thin.” Er, even though it was less than a year ago that both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris warned us against trusting any vaccines developed in the administration of Donald Trump.” Minaj should come in for a cup of tea with the President or the Vice President and we could allay her concerns about vaccines in the interests of outreach. With Nicki Minaj, the White House is all “That’s very unfortunate, perhaps Ms. As Tocqueville wrote in “Democracy in America” (1840), “It is a vast and bounteous land, but also a curious one, its levers and pullies of influence eagerly manipulated by known chancers, scallywags, and crazy-ass rappers.” Her loony rant about her cousin’s friend’s cantaloupe cajones became the biggest story of the week, except for maybe Bolshevik Barbie’s backside broadside against rich people at the Met Costume Gala.īut if it weren’t for all the loony ranters, we’d be a lesser place. Minaj has 23 million Twitter followers (almost as many as me) and is hence a person of some influence. I never thought I’d have occasion to type these words, but: I like the White House’s Nicki Minaj policy.
