What did it sound like?
I’m always a little skeptical that they can be sure of things like this.

…start to perceive the debacle they face:
<blockquote>All Americans, even the president’s most strenuous supporters, should be comforted that the majority of Democrats can still think and count. It is a party infested with lunatics, but not controlled by them. This is in the same reassuring category as the Mueller investigation’s conclusion that no one in the United States colluded with Russians to influence the result of the 2016 election.
Beneath the initial success of the Biden campaign, the Democrats are sharply divided between those who are still trying to place their bets on the presidential unsuitability of the incumbent, those who seek a radical démarche to the left and over the political cliff, and those trying to get back to essentially the old slightly-left-of-center coalition of Franklin Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, and Johnson.
President Clinton, and even, with a stretch, Mrs. Clinton, were also in that tradition, but the ominous approaching clouds of investigative curiosity about the Clinton Foundation and the malodorous ethics of the 2016 Clinton campaign have caused the Clintons’ party to stampede from under them.
Even Barack Obama, who was cozily settling into a good 30 years as a respected ex-president, is already in the crosshairs of the investigation, conducted against the Clinton campaign, of illegal espionage on the Trump campaign through fraudulently obtained FISA warrants and planted agents and sting operations. The rabidly Trumpophobic texting between former FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page reveals that “the White House” was closely monitoring the investigation of the Trump campaign, which raises the question of the involvement of the former president in illegal surveillance.
Mr. Obama’s name is still bandied about with respect by most of the Democratic candidates, especially Mr. Biden (“Barack and I . . .”), and he is still better esteemed by most Americans than the other ex-presidents. But apart from the admirable and necessary shattering of the bar of color, his entire legacy has been discredited: the mad obsession with unproved climate alarmism, the foolhardy Iranian nuclear treaty, and the Obamacare shambles.</blockquote>
Trump should win handily.
[Sunday-morning update]
Link was wrong, fixed now. In response to a comment about Trump’s approval, it may be that the polls are wrong because people are afraid to be honest with the Woke Warriors.
As an example, there was another surprise, in Australia, which should give Biden pause.
And maybe there is starting to be a pattern to these wrong polls.
We’ve lost a genius of comedy. He was literally a comedians’ comedian.
They remind us why Israel must exist. It’s shameful that the Democrat leadership says/does nothing about this.
Wow, another star from my youth who I hadn’t realized was still alive. She had a good run, though.
There’s an article at Popular Mechanics, but the picture it has of Gerard O’Neill isn’t. Not positive, but I’m pretty sure it’s Brian O’Leary.
There was apparently a lot more of it than even those who have been following this thought.
You can tell by all the attacks on Barr that the Democrats and Obama apparatchiks are very concerned about how much of this is soon to be exposed. And hopefully some heads will roll, including Hillary’s people for obstruction of justice in the server investigation, if not for the server itself.
And then there’s this: “Barr is investigating Democrats. Democrats call for Barr to resign. According to Nadler, that’s obstruction of justice!”
[Sunday-afternoon update]
The Democrats are falsely accusing Barr of doing what Holder and Lynch actually did do for Obama.
Again, classic projection.
[Monday update at noon]
The fright of James Comey. And how the investigation was initiated by the FBI on false information.
I find it amusing, in light of how all these federal prosecutors are saying that Trump would have been indicted if he hadn’t been POTUS, Comey would have been indicted if he hadn’t been head of the FBI. And while Trump is still POTUS, Comey is no longer head of the FBI…

[Tuesday-morning update]
Comey is in trouble, and he knows it.
Good. Or at least good about the first part. I’d actually prefer that he remain clueless.

Glenn Reynolds reviews Bob Zubrin’s new book. I haven’t read it yet.
[Afternoon update]
Leonard David has a new space book out, too. I should be getting review copies of both soon.
How to talk to them about capitalism.
Our (mal)educational system is a large part of the problem.
I don’t usually post from Facebook, but Jeff Greason has an interesting/depressing thought:
In the Star Trek episode “Tomorrow is Yesterday”, Kirk is told “I’m going to lock you up for two hundred years”. He looks at the camera (very nearly breaking the fourth wall), and says “that ought to be just about right” — in other words, telling the viewer that Star Trek is set about 200 years in the future.
That episode was filmed in 1968.
That was 50 years ago.
Somehow, I don’t feel we’ve made 1/4 of the progress from Apollo to Star Trek
As Mike Heney points out over there, we haven’t even made a quarter of the progress from Apollo back to Apollo.
