Friday! The weeks of lock down are flying by like a bat out of … China! But not to worry, the government has drawn a bead on the Kung Pow Sicken and is ready to let you go back to work—in June (at least in Illinois, where I live). That way they can be sure the Coronavirus is dead and have it vote Democrat in November!

More seriously, Osama bin Laden wanted to assassinate president Obama because Joe Biden was ‘totally unprepared’ for the presidency; job losses reach 26.4 million due to the lock down; a possible reason why Trump hasn’t done more about fixing illegal immigration; and Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer is under fire for awarding—then terminating—a coronavirus-related contract for collecting sensitive health data to her former campaign consultants.

In the meme time, I’ve got some hilarious images to lift your spirits in our Friday Follies at the final link.

Good Thursday morning. Today’s links include an investigation into who “Anonymous” is, a call for Britain to help defund the WHO, a question about who the real editors are at the NYT, an announcement as Willow Creek Community Church turns the page, a long-overdue take-down of Zinn’s propaganda, and an eerie “coincidence” involving multiple local news outlets.

IT’S DÉJÀ VU ALL OVER AGAIN. Joe Biden Promises to ‘Transform This Nation’ in Accepting Bernie’s Endorsement.

“Biden insisted he would beef up America’s social safety net, ‘make sure that health care is made accessible and affordable to every American,’ provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and combat ‘structural racism.’ He blamed that ‘structural racism’ for ‘this godawful situation at which African Americans and Latinos suffer most at the hands of the coronavirus.'”

No. Just no.
