So here's the Heir's promised followup to our Hail To The Chief a week ago.  As was with Obama, the Heir fully expects the progressives to tear Biden apart on anything they can, just because they could.  He doesn't buy, even for one second, that the progressives have somehow miraculously gained some measure of magnanimity because of the country's experience with Trump.  He highly doubts the progressives ever said, oh, I guess it's partly our fault Trump got in there and was as bad as he was.  Maybe if we as a movement didn't get with Big Tech or Ed Snowden, or looked the other way when the culture was steeped in personal corruption during the 2010s, unreparated in the 2020s, maybe we wouldn't have had Trump, but now that we have, now we should probably make some kind of concessions???  No, ain't gonna happen, is the Heir's thinking.  Instead, he fully expects the progressives to use a kind of "born-again" logic that somehow the past doesn't "objectively" exist, and therefore any of their actions in that same past they don't need to be held accountable.  So one way in which the Heir's observing the progressives making good on their upcoming War On Biden is via the social justice issue, in trying to kind of focus-group the talking point of Not Good Enough.  What if Biden's DOJ under either Merrick Garland or Mr. Garland's current acting predecessor implements all of BLM's recommendations they issued last year to answer for and prevent excessive force?  Not Good Enough.  What if Biden indicates he would never legalize pot nationally or Defund The Police?  Well then he's just Trump Lite.  This is probably tentative, and maybe not the final Anti-Biden Progressive talking point that would actually pick up steam, but the Heir's 90% sure there's going to be something.  And once there is, he's not going to be the least bit surprised.

The Heir believes that the coverage regarding these new variants is considerably blown out of proportion.  Because he heard it on audio, he's able to isolate where he thinks the media got it wrong.  If there was accompanying visual, everyone else is going to go, oh my gosh, there's these variants, we're all doomed!  Instead, he believes this to be a case of Mozart Study Syndrome, in which the layperson media glances over a synopsis of initial studies done on the variants, and comes up with an almost completely different takeaway from the study writers' own conclusions, and then put words in the writers' mouths accordingly.  Like with the Mozart Study back in the 90s, the Heir hopes the writers will come back and say, no we never said the variants were "more contagious," we said it could be more easily caught for those who don't have the proper antibodies, as opposed to the coronavirus proper, or something that's similarly nuanced and measured as per actual professionals' wont.  So the Heir thinks the media should honor the memory of Jamal Khashoggi, and not give themselves a black eye for their tendency *not* to level with their readers/listeners when it comes to medical accuracy.
