You know how parents discover odd things that let their infants sleep? For my wife, as a little one, it was riding in a car. For others it is being rocked. The key thing is for the baby to sleep so the tired parents can rest. I’m reminded of this by the following item.
If you read Lucianne.com, you know there is always a list of 4-6 stories highlighted for each day as what the Lucianne staff view as important or interesting. See what their first item is today:
Aldi's founders have ways of making you shop! The miserly, feuding German brothers who fought for Hitler before surviving prisoner of war camp and creating supermarket empire now worth £27.5 Billion
A lead story about two cranky Germans who started a successful discount grocery? Can you imagine that being the headline on any day during the Trump administration? I cannot. What characterizes the Biden administration - so far - is how little news there is most days.

At COTTonLINE we have written several times about “Trump fatigue,” about his tendency to make every story about himself. It is equally true that his exuberant presence caused the anti-Trump media (aka MSM) to run lots of negative stories about him. They hit him and, being a counterpuncher, he hit back.
I wonder if people are liking the like-a-sleeping-baby quiet. Biden practically defines the word “uninteresting” and while he’s often embarrassing as a “losing it” grandpa, the Democratic media doesn’t want to emphasize his negatives so there isn’t a lot of news.
To circle back to my intro (hat tip to J. Psaki), the ‘baby’ in the Oval Office is being quiet. It is possible many Americans are relieved and enjoying the rest. Perhaps people want the government to function unnoticed like a refrigerator, quietly and without fuss. For sure, that wasn’t Trump.
