The Democrats’ (Un)Civil War
It’s the left against the far left. Of course, I always find this sort of thing amusing/infuriating:
A group of moderate Democratic lawmakers sounded the alarm Thursday over the party’s shift to the left, saying the embrace of ultra-liberal policies could endanger their efforts to capture Congress in the November midterm elections and the White House in 2020.
There is nothing “liberal” about them at all, let alone “ultra-liberal.”
[Update a few minutes later]
This seems related somehow: Hillary says that Brett Kavanaugh will bring back slavery. Gee, that’s not hyperbolic and demagogic at all.
So Hillary thinks that Kavanaugh wants to bring back slavery? Is she saying he's a closet Democrat?

The Frauds Of The Obama Administration
There is too much here for me to write about this right now, but it’s an important read, on many subjects.
Nuclear Renaissance
New reactors are coming, for earth and space. It’s about time.
The “Good Populism”
“Petro-Masculinity”
I’d like to say that this is amazing, but sadly, it isn’t.
China’s New Rockets
Haven’t looked at this in detail, but I suspect that by 2030, heavy-lift expendable rockets will be obsolete. and how in the world are they going to do a vertical landing with a solid booster?
No, It’s Not “Marrying Down”
It’s foolish to conflate educational level with intelligence, particularly when in many cases the “education” is a maleducation with a credential.
Objectively Pro-Democrat
Thoughts from Neo-Neocon and Charlie Martin on the Never Trumpers, and their death wish for the Republican Party.
Never having been a Republican, I wouldn’t mind seeing a political party replace the Republican Party, but not at the cost of the Democrats taking over again, which (as Charlie notes) would be disastrous for the Republic.
