Yes, Trump should issue an executive order on this, except unfortunately, it would taint the concept.

The Woke
Why they won’t debate you. As noted there, there is nothing liberal about them.
Dragon Returns
A reader emailed me, asking why I hadn’t mentioned this weekend’s return of Endeavour from ISS (it will be splashing down in about three hours). I replied that there wasn’t much to talk about; the entire mission has been utterly nominal. At this point, like Elon, I’m much more interested in Starship. It would be great if it can take its first flight on the same day that Dragon returns with crew, though.

Starship could take its maiden flight as soon as Sunday.

The Republicans should be able to take advantage of this, with a pitch to the Hispanics and blacks, but they won’t. But if Trump were to campaign in CA, it could help a lot.
John Kass
He’s not taking a knee to the cancel culture.
Neither am I. It would be pretty hard for these vicious imbeciles to convince my boss to fire me.
Buying Clothing
I was wondering about this the other day. The pandemic has to be killing clothing stores. Even when it’s over, if people continue to work from home (which seems likely for many office workers), it dampens demand for new clothes.
