…and the future of the west.
We’re not too far gone yet, but Britain may be.

Putin’s Embarrassment
What the hell is going on in Kursk?
I’m guessing that part of the idea was to force the Russians to redeploy troops away from the lines in Ukraine.
The Second Space Race
A review of Greg Autry’s and Peter Navarro’s new book on China. Greg gave me a copy last Saturday at an event in downtown LA, but I haven’t read it yet.
[Update a while later]
“The book serves as both a wake-up call and a reminder of the importance of space exploration.”
I hate that phrase. It’s the importance of space development. Exploration is just a means to that end.
An Environmental Success Story
Grizzlies have become so common in the lower 48 that they’ve become a problem.
I think it’s been well over a century since the last one died in California, but in a sense it was the state animal of the Bear Flag Republic. Though possibly it referred to black bears, which remain plentiful there.
Then And Now
In this 3 min video, I break down the real reasons why America divorced Britain, and it wasn’t over taxes. I recommend American citizens and British subjects alike listen, because history often rhymes. pic.twitter.com/2T2i119EYR

Kamala Harris And The Masque Of Magical Thinking
The sugar high of the Harris coronation won’t last.
An Ongoing Foreign-Policy DIsaster
A reminder of the continuing mess in Afghanistan. And it doesn’t even mention the fact that the Chinese probably have effective control of our former strategic air base there.
Judith Curry
An interview with John Stossel.
Climate scientist @CurryJa tells me she "had to develop the hide of an armadillo" after she questioned climate alarmism.

Former "friends" turned on her, writing things like, “Judith Curry abandons science.”
Did she? Here's my full interview with her: pic.twitter.com/yQBtWnC5ZJ
Stop Turning The Other Cheek
Yes.
We normal people have to recognize that these people hate us and want us dead. Kamala said that her ideology is that “everyone ends up at the same place.” That is the creed of the communists always, only way for that to happen is for that place to be the grave. We have to take them seriously.
Democrats And Jews
They really do have a problem.
[Update a few minutes later]
When you criticize Israel for what’s happening in Gaza, and don’t mention Hamas (who is wholly responsible for the suffering there), you are objectively pro-Hamas.
[Saturday-morning update]
Kamala Harris wants to keep Hamas in power. Obviously she does.
