According to Caroline Glick, Cuomo had the nursing homes take COVID patients because he didn't want to make Trump look good for sending the hospital ship and other supplies.

What does concern me now, though, is that they are destroying all the moderate (for Democrat) candidates, and pushing leftists.

Oh, they did their job. They got Biden elected.
The only reason Cuomo was given a pass last year was to make Drumpfhitler look bad. Now that Biden is securely in office Cuomo is fair game.

And what about the ... person ... in Pennsylvania who pushed a similar policy, but only after taking his/her/its own parents out of their nursing home and putting them up in a hotel for the duration? That right there should be proof of premeditation -- he/she/it knew damned well what they were doing and what the results would be, and did it anyway...

This is how the Left works. Nominate an extreme left-wing and/or thoroughly incompetent person who racks up the intersectionality points, and when you object to their policies or point out they're unfit for the job, claim you're a racist bigot homophobe for opposing them. That's a big part of what got Obama elected. You can see it with Neera Tanden as well.

Based on the person running Biden's campaign, the person who has been running things is James Clyburn. As many people on the campaigns turn those position into administration positions, I'm assuming he's still running a lot behind the scenes. I mean, I can't imagine have a position with that kind of power and then stepping aside.

She is slowing down a bit; she no longer volunteers all her time like she used to. She used to spend some time volunteering at a old folks' home; I used to wonder how many of the people there were younger than she was.
She still lives in her house; after our father died, my youngest brother moved in with her. So at least someone is nearby if there's a problem.
I'm actually responsible for her ongoing immortality. She used to be obsessed (I do not use that word lightly) with me becoming a priest (my marriage finally put an end to that*) and once told me that she wasn't going to die until I became a priest and could officiate at her funeral.

There was actually a competing book series, minus the dolls, that included stories about both boys and girls. Too many children's books are written by women for little girls, while boys lag behind in reading.

I have no objection either. You mentioned your daughter's piqued interest in American history. It was nice to see the focus on "girls" stories, heroes were usually males.

He was pretty cool, but not quite as cool as the Big Jim Rescue Rig. (Which much later got a second lease on life, with my nephews; my parents had kept the thing squirreled away for two-plus decades.)
GI Joe was big when I was the right age, but I had this thing about not playing with dolls.
As for Johnny West, I prefer James West (basically James Bond in the old West)
I bought the complete set a few years ago, and I note the DVDs bowdlerize the intro - he does not punch the woman at the end, but somehow, she still slumps.
A new report from Canary Mission, an anti-Semitism watchdog group, documents how National Students for Justice in Palestine has now taken a position against the existence of the United States and Canada.
“Students for Justice in Palestine have a history of violence and anti-Semitism. While they have long sought the destruction of Israel, they now admit that they are against the existence of the U.S. and Canada, calling it ‘occupied Turtle Island.’ It is undoubtedly a significant development, and we are monitoring it closely,” it told JNS.
According to Canary Mission, the phrase “Turtle Island” is used by some indigenous people to refer to North and Central America. It has been adopted by far-left activists seeking to delegitimize the existence of the United States and Canada.
