I suspect that when Trump and Cuomo started butting heads about when and how to reopen the nation's economy, Cuomo had his people call up every hospital in NYC yesterday and ask them to "double-check" to see if any Covid-19 deaths had possibly been overlooked. No pressure, of course.

A sudden spike in Covid-19 deaths in NYC coincidentally gives Cuomo a stronger case with which to push back against Trump's reopening plan. And wouldn't you know it, it came just in the nick of time!

Unfortunately, the virus is picking up elsewhere, right now Long Island is the hot spot. So the summated caseload for New York State looks like a plateau. The media are missing this though...and now they're talking about continuing some form of lockdown through all of next year! There won't be an economy to save, if things go that long!

That's the plan.

At least he's anti-establishment when it comes to our sick relationship with Saudi Ara..... Nevermind.

The decision will disappoint the human rights community and members of his own party who complained during the Trump administration that the U.S. was failing to hold Mohammed bin Salman accountable.

WASHINGTON — President Biden has decided that the diplomatic cost of directly penalizing Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, is too high, according to senior administration officials, despite a detailed American intelligence finding that he directly approved the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, the dissident and Washington Post columnist who was drugged and dismembered in October 2018.

The decision by Mr. Biden, who during the 2020 campaign called Saudi Arabia a “pariah” state with “no redeeming social value,” came after weeks of debate in which his newly formed national security team advised him that there was no way to formally bar the heir to the Saudi crown from entering the United States, or to weigh criminal charges against him, without breaching the relationship with one of America’s key Arab allies.

Officials said a consensus developed inside the White House that the cost of that breach, in Saudi cooperation on counterterrorism and in confronting Iran, was simply too high.

For Mr. Biden, the decision was a telling indication of how his more cautious instincts kicked in, as the responsibilities of managing a difficult ally led him to find ways other than going directly after Prince Mohammed to make Saudi Arabia pay a price.
