So I hear Preznit Biden is going to read his speech tonight. I don't envy him. I'll bet he had a lot of long excuses cooked up for inflation, rising crime, and the few hundred thousand deaths from WuFlu on his watch. And then the Russians invaded Ukraine and blew that plan to hell.
Stephen Kruiser at the PJ Media The Morning Briefing: Oh God, Biden Is Going to Try and Use Words. Stacy McCain, on Our Feeble-Minded Commander-in-Chief "If you’re also optimistic about “what we all have to look forward to,” then your brain must have turned completely to mush, too."

At Ace's The Morning Rant: Scattered Buck Shots – 02/28/2022. Bidenflation: “Market Pricing” on Fast Food
“Market pricing” on fast food is going to be a thing now, I guess.
One day this past week I strolled from my office to a nearby Panera to grab a sandwich to-go. I was given a paper menu without any prices on it. I inquired of the cashier about the lack of prices, and she responded that it’s because prices keep going up so fast. She instructed me to simply tell her what I’d like to order, then she’d ring it up and be able to tell me the price.
The very next day, I went to the drive-through at a regional burger/slider franchise. I ordered a $6.99 combo, which according to some quick mental math should have totaled up to about $7.65 with the 9.25% sales tax. But instead, the cashier told me my total was $7.93. I asked why the price was 30 cents higher than would be expected, and she responded that prices have gone up again, but because of staffing issues (four people had quit or didn’t show up) they can’t even get outside to update the price board.
Now that we’re living in Bidenzuela, merchants might just have to give up on trying to keep prices posted as they rise.
At the College Fix, Conservative college students: Russian-Ukraine conflict would not have happened under Trump. But Jim Treacher catches Libs Blaming Ukraine on... Ron DeSantis?!?. Why?

Filed under Aw shucks, At Da Wire Alabama Man’s ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ License Plate Recalled Over ‘Objectionable’ Language. That's no fun. At the Center Square, Tennessee Senate passes residency requirement for congressional primaries, which apparently eliminates Fox News cutie Morgan Ortagus. Darn.
Althouse finds NYT reviewer which claims Barr didn't go far enough in condemning Trump, "This is a pattern in Barr’s book: He nitpicks his way to desired conclusions by carefully navigating a lawyerly path around finely drawn distinctions, all the while lobbing bomblets at anyone he defines as an enemy." I'm shocked, shocked.
Ken Masugi at Am Great tells us How to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, "Her race is irrelevant. Her membership in the administrative state elite is all-important." Mike Miller at Red State discloses Biden Supreme Court Nominee Decisions Reversed for 'Judicial Overreach' and Other Troubling Facts. Madeleine Hubbard at JTN adds Biden SCOTUS nominee criticized 'excessiveness' of sex offender punishments, "Article was published anonymously in 1996 by Harvard Law Review, but Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson did not disclose her authorship until the Senate Judiciary Committee asked her to list published writings as part of her confirmation process." Dan Greenfield at Front Page, Biden’s Supreme Court Pick is a Racist Attack on the Constitution. That's a stretch. Vet hard, vet fair.
Regarding the Canadian truck protest, which inspired the People's Convoy, Dave Solway at PJ Media calls the Trudeau regime, The Government From Hell, positing the NewNeo to agree Canada’s trucker convoy may be over, but the problems are hardly over for the truckers – and for the rest of us. Elle Reynolds at Da Fed wonders Could Canadians Targeted By Trudeau Qualify For Political Asylum In The United States? At Am Mind, Alexander Leishman discusses Bitcoin Versus the Bond Villains. If they can't find it, they can't seize it. Front Page derides Canada Nice, "North of the border, too many prize “community” over individual liberty." That same can be said of many here. But there's a reason we rebelled against Britain and they never did.
At CTH, sundance has Day Five Update, Oklahoma, The People’s Convoy Crosses America. Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair VIP, Terrifying truck drivers result in fences going back up on Capitol Hill. David Catron at Am Spec, Walling Off Washington From the Great Unwashed, "The Beltway braces for an imminent invasion … of American citizens."

The redoubtable Julie Kelly at Am Great asks Who Is Responsible for the Death of Matthew Perna?, "For the first time in over a year, Joe Biden’s Justice Department has nothing to say about a January 6 defendant." At Behind the Black, Today’s blacklisted American: Jan 6th demonstrator apparently commits suicide due to Biden administration persecution. Althouse cites his obit in "Matthew Lawrence Perna died on Feb. 25, 2022, of a broken heart. His community (which he loved), his country, and the justice system killed his spirit and his zest for life...." Are you satisfied now, Merrick Garland?
From JTN, Hawaiian Judge dismisses Jan. 6 cases against Giuliani and Don Jr., not Trump, "The Obama-appointed judge accused Trump of knowing that supporters "were prepared to partake in violence for him." But don't fret, Michael Anton at Am Mind says Everything Is Fine, facetiously. But AllahPundit at Haut Hair claims Mark Levin at CPAC says Conservatives shouldn't support populist "mob rule"
At LI, Lauren Eastman, NYC Mayor Eric Adams Plans to Drop Vaccine Mandate, Masks in Schools. At Da Wire, California, Washington, Oregon To Lift School Mask Mandates.

Gary Anderson at Am Spec, Dr. Strangefauci or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the COVID, "Bureaucrats in lab coats are ridiculously clueless." Insty, HE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW: Shapiro REACTS to SNL’s Insane COVID Hypocrisy Skit. "Go apologize to the Canadian truckers. On your knees, you hypocritical bastards."
The American Medical Association now tells doctors: Use woke language! It's issued a 54-page guide telling doctors things like, don't say "equality"; say "equity." Don't say "minority"; say "historically marginalized."
Much of the AMA's advisory sounds like Marxism: "Expose ... property rights ... Individualism is problematic ... Corporations ... limit prospects for good health ... people underpaid and forced into poverty as a result of banking policies."
This is too much even for some on the left, like writer Matthew Yglesias, whose article about the AMA caught my attention.
Bummer dude, from Twitchy, ‘Disastrous’: Wyoming Senate votes to eliminate the University of Wisconsin’s gender studies department. At Campus Reform Math education prof: 2+2 = 4 'trope' 'reeks of white supremacy patriarchy' "They asserted that the statement “2 plus 2 equals 4” is rooted in Western definitions of mathematics." Fire them and replace them with people with working brains.
