Finally, a president who’s doing something about them.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t solve their toxic power in California. The state is run by the teachers’ and prison-workers’ unions, and it shows.

A Film Festival
An anti-Communist film festival.
The time is right. People like Castro, Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, Che, and others should be greeted with at least as much opprobrium as Nazis and Hitler.
Gavin Newsom
The chameleon that destroyed California.
It’s not destroyed yet, and I still hold out hope, but he and the Democrats have certainly done a lot of damage, and it should be a cautionary warning against him as a presidential candidate.
Phil McAlister
An interesting interview on the prospects for NASA and commercial space.
The Higher-Ed Bubble
Another sign that it is probably popping: Gen Z grads can’t get jobs. The scam has been particularly brutal on that generation. It won’t end well.
At Smallsat
This is my first trip to this venerable conference, which for decades was held in Logan, UT, where the university there, Utah State, was a hotbed of this developing technology as a result of innovative faculty. This year it’s at the convention center in Salt Lake City, and it’s huge, as would befit this burgeoning industry. There’s a cavernous exhibit hall with hundreds of exhibitors.
My concern is that the industry may be in a bubble. I’m seeing several vendors for some of the technologies, and it’s not clear to me that they’ll all survive, or how they’ll compete. But that’s the dynamic nature of new tech.
The Harvard Undergrads
Arnold Kling says to pity them, in the age of AI.
Not sure I can work up that much pity for them, to be honest.
Why And How To End SLS Now
My long awaited (at least by me) study for the Reason Foundation is now online.
[Friday-morning update]
The best word to describe NASA’s lunar program is “delusional.”
[Bumped]
[Update Saturday morning]
A nice summary of the policy paper.
The Climate Movement
The bad science and bad policy at the heart of it.
[Afternoon update]
Climate science is baaaaack.
This is one of the biggest (and most needed) regulatory rollbacks in history.
More from Ed Morrissey and Stephen Green.
The Beginning Of The End
I suspect that the end will come when my generation is gone, if not sooner. Younger people don’t have the fidelity to it that the Boomers do. When I’m traveling, I realize how spoiled I am by DVR. “You mean I have to actually be in my room at 7 PM to watch Gutfeld?”
