SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:40 P.M. ET: 

THIS WOMAN IS INCOHERENT – FROM FOX:   President Biden climate advisor Gina McCarthy said Wednesday that the administration is "not asking for sacrifice" with its executive order to shut down construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.  According to the Keystone XL website, the project, initially proposed more than a decade ago, would have sustained about 11,000 U.S. jobs in 2021 – including 8,000 union jobs – and generated $1.6 billion in gross wages.  "The most exciting thing about this is we're not asking for sacrifice here," McCarthy said during a Wednesday interview on NBC's "TODAY Show." "The president fully understands that people are suffering now. So this all about recovering from the COVID crisis. This all about building good, clean jobs, jobs where you can get access to jobs to good pay and unions."  She continued: "This is all about investing in the infrastructure we need to build that future that is going to get us to clean electricity and net-zero in 2050. This is about promises he made that he's gonna keep."  Do you have any idea what she's talking about?  I don't.  She comes directly from the administration of Saint Barack of Chicago, so she may speak a different language.  Someone please tell her that thousands of workers are being laid off right now as a result of newly announced Biden policies.  She didn't mention one job available to them in the real world.

SUCH BRILLIANCE, SUCH A SENSE OF PRIORITIES – FROM DAILY MAIL:   San Francisco's school board has voted to rename schools honoring George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.   The former presidents are among the historical figures set to be struck off as namesakes of the area's public schools,  Others on the list include Francis Scott Key, who wrote the words to the national anthem; former presidents William McKinley, James Garfield, James Monroe and Herbert Hoover;  Revolutionary War hero Paul Revere; and author Robert Louis Stevenson.  Even current senator Dianne Feinstein does not escape, due to allegations she replaced a damaged Confederate flag outside City Hall when she was mayor in 1986.  The controversial move follows a 6-1 vote among school board members on Tuesday to rename 44 schools in light of a wave of anti-racism protests that swept the country last summer.   I'd like to know the new names that will go on the schools.  I hear that one honoree was notified today, and said that it's the best day he ever spent on Death Row.
