The Economist has discovered El Segundo, including its history with SpaceX. It’s a primary reason I haven’t abandoned California yet.

The British State
Patriots should not fight for it.
Yes.
A Holiday Warning
Nothing to see here…but remember, the greatest threat is from white supremacists!

Prepare for the coming storm. All LEOs should read this. Let’s hope that Kurt Schlichter wasn’t prescient with his novels.

The replacement vote idea has gone from taboo in polite conversation…
The Subversive Foreign Bots
…exposed.
I wonder what, if anything, Elon will do about this?
ICBMs
Yes. It’s time (long past time, IMO) to move them from the Air Force to the Army. They’re really just very long-range artillery. Get the USAF out of both the missile and space business and get it to focus on aviation.

…and the right to repair.
It’s a complicated issue. I wonder how much this issue is going to bleed over into space hardware?
Veterans

…of America’s radical left.
The Cold Civil War is defrosting, and I don’t think the left will ultimately be happy with the results.
John Brennan
As Roger says, I’ve always been aghast that this horrible man was in the intelligence community at all, let alone head of the CIA. Let’s hope justice is finally served.
