Flotsam and Jetsam - Happy Birthday Joe!

 KT at Hat Hair notes WSJ says Joe Biden Turns 81 Years Old and Running in His Condition is "Profoundly Selfish" "Joe Biden turns 81 on Monday. There is absolutely nothing that he or his campaign can do to change that. Last year his family and staff were able to distract from this milestone birthday because his granddaughter Naomi’s wedding was held on the South Lawn. She allowed her White House wedding to be planned to take some of the spotlight off of her grandfather’s 80th birthday. The timing “was not a coincidence,” as two sources told CNN." Let's see, one more year in office brings him to 82. Do you really want a demented 86 yr old running the show?

Althouse blogs from the NYT, "The school closures that took 50 million children out of classrooms at the start of the pandemic may prove to be the most damaging disruption in the history of American education." "It also set student progress in math and reading back by two decades and widened the achievement gap that separates poor and wealthy children.... The learning loss crisis is more consequential than many elected officials have yet acknowledged. A collective sense of urgency by all Americans will be required to avert its most devastating effects on the nation’s children."
