Don’t be surprised if Chelsea Clinton’s podcast bombs. In her sheltered life, she’s never had to be interesting. From Jenna McCarthy at jennasside.rocks:
The world’s least popular former First Daughter is apparently our latest unelected health authority.
Remember when we used to get health advice from our doctors? (Also, remember when we used to trust our doctors?) Now we get it—whether we want it or not—from billionaires, heiresses, celebrities, and people who own an alarming number of patents in the diseases they claim to cure.
We’ve got land-hogging philanthropath Bill Gates insisting that “we will have new vaccines” for things like TB, malaria, and HIV. (Who’s we here?) Economist and engineer Klaus Schwab opining on pandemics and “health resilience.” Financier George Soros influencing “public-health equity” initiatives. The high priestess of sanctimony Oprah Winfrey pushing weight-loss drugs and “spiritual healing.” Tech bro Mark Zuckerberg appointing himself Chief of Health Misinformation Police. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow dishing out peak celebrity wellness pseudoscience.
And now—heaven help us all—we can add Chelsea Clinton to the list of DIY-certified prophets preaching to us from the Church of Settled Science™.

Watching Jim Bovard pod and he mentions comrade Slick Willie (CPUSA) as when the loss of civil liberties went into overdrive.
Love the tweet exchange of Waco wants a word regarding the National Guard called out against the useful idiot comrades in Portland.
Scoff at health advice even from whitecoats fresh out of Marxist U let alone the pampered offspring of Long Marchers.
Did the stolen Haiti relief funds pay for her rockstar wedding?
