Biden decides to whitewash WHO's COVID-19 mistakes and misjudgments

The Biden administration has decided to whitewash the World Health Organization’s first mistakes and misjudgments in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The mistakes of WHO were glaring and consequential in the moment, not just in retrospect. Up until mid-January 2020, WHO echoed Beijing’s false assessment that the virus was not contagious. Back on January 23, 2020, the WHO “declined to designate the ongoing outbreak of a novel virus in China a global health emergency, saying that, for now, health officials are sufficiently equipped to combat the outbreak there and in other countries and that the agency does not need the additional authorities that come from such a declaration.” That was a ridiculous underestimation of the pandemic; two days earlier, the Chinese government had just admitted that the virus could be spread from human to human and spread to seven countries. In early February, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus kept insisting there was no need for measures that “unnece

Trump grants clemency to more than 100 people, including Bannon

President Trump on Wednesday granted clemency to more than 100 people in one of his final acts as commander-in-chief, including his former chief strategist, Stephen Bannon. Trump announced a wave of pardons and commutations shortly after midnight on Wednesday. Bannon, rapper Lil Wayne, GOP fundraiser Elliot Broidy and former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick were among the notable figures to receive clemency, along with dozens of lower profile individuals whose cases were raised by criminal justice reform advocates. Trump granted clemency to 143 individuals in total, just hours before leaving office: 73 received pardons, while 70 were granted commutations. The Bannon pardon was perhaps the most surprising of the batch, given the former Breitbart News editor had a high-profile falling out with the Trump family after denigrating Donald Trump Jr. in Michael Wolff’s 2018 book, “Fire and Fury.” "Mr. Bannon has been an important leader in the conservative movement and is known for his pol

Impeachment trial could knock Biden virus aid plan off course

The impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump appears likely to interfere with Democratic plans to quickly get a COVID-19 relief bill to President Joe Biden’s desk. Just how much of a hindrance remains to be seen. Impeachment trials in the past have dominated Senate action, leaving little energy or time for anything else. During the 21 days of Trump’s first impeachment proceedings last year, and during the 36-day trial of President Bill Clinton in early 1999, no other substantive business was conducted. The time allotted to Trump’s latest proceedings, involving one article of impeachment that Speaker Nancy Pelosi will transmit on Monday, could go a little quicker than the proceedings involving two articles in the earlier Trump and Clinton cases. Regardless, the trial won't be helpful for meeting Democrats’ target of passing a coronavirus relief package by March 14, when enhanced unemployment benefits start to run out. The quickest route to passage would be a bipartisan d
