Today is the day on which the petulant kids staffing the Biden White House and various Biden administration agencies have planned to strike, protesting on behalf of the rampaging rapists of Hamas’s jihad against Jews — which the staffers somehow regard as Israeli “genocide” against Palestinians.

This is mind-boggling. Any of us who’ve worked in government for any length of time (as I did for a quarter-century) are certain to have experienced any number of policies with which he or she intensely disagreed. Striking, however, is not a lawful or ethical option. For the Party of (Our Tapped Out) Government, which shrieks at the very whisper of a threatened government shutdown, to endorse a staffer strike, tacitly or otherwise, is shameful. But of course, this is a radical left-wing tantrum so, as with the stifling Covid restrictions progressive officials imposed on everyone else, we’re supposed to just accept that the rules don’t apply.
