Matt Fitzgibbons says it’s like the ancient Roman roads. I’m not sure the analogy works very well, but I do think that it would be wasteful to deorbit it. When he says it’s “only” three or four billion a year, I don’t think he appreciates how much more we’ll be able to do for much less in the near future, But I also think in the next decade we’ll have the ability to move it higher, and preserve it as a museum.

…got his start in the FBI’s dirty Boston Office.
Mueller is guilty of framing people and withholding exculpatory evidence in the past. Why should we think he’s not doing the same thing now?

Lee Smith has a pretty comprehensive description of everything that was going on.

As an aside, Twitter threads have become a way of routing around the limitations of first the 140, then 280-character limit of the medium, to turn them effectively into blog posts, at which one can jump in at any time.
Space Force And Space Corps
Since it’s been so much in the news lately, I thought it would be useful to link to Coyote’s case for it from a year ago. I disagree with his recommendations about withdrawing from the OST, but he explains why a separate service is necessary.
Democratic Socialism,
…is totalitarian slavery.
Yup.
Jordan Peterson And The Left
They hate him because he’s figured out how to route around their corruption and opposition to western civilization.
A Space Corps First
This is a year old, but a good description from Coyote Smith why we should establish a Space Corps prior to transitioning to a Space Force.
Antifa
Is it the future of the Democrats?
I hope so, because if so, it means, finally, the death of this old horrific, racist, and now totalitarian political party.

The History “Profession”
Something is badly amiss in it:
A big theme of MacLean’s book is that Buchanan inspired an effort to promote an anti-democratic putsch by the Koch Brothers. As Ilya Somin has explained, her conception of democracy doesn’t make any sense, at least if one assumes that she supports standard limits on democracy widely supported by progressives. But other historians have come to the rescue, arguing that the United States is a democracy when it follows the will of the people, as opposed to the will of organized reactionary interest groups. The U.S., for example, was democratic in the 1930s and 1960s, but not in the 1950s or 1980s. Democracy, in other words, means “progressive politics are winning out.” Lack of democracy means “progressive politics are not winning out.” Because in a true democracy, the will of the people wins, and the will of the people is naturally liberal-democratic-socialist. So Roe v. Wade is a “democratic” decision, even though it overturned the abortion laws of almost every state, because progressives approve of it. I kid you not.
The leftist narrative must triumph over truth or logic.
