Space Settlements
…will require a new policy direction.
You don’t say. I’ll be speaking at Steve’s Space Settlement Forum next week about property rights.
AI
Can now generate talking video of people from a single image.
We’re rapidly approaching the time, if we’re not already there, when we can’t trust video.
Collusionists, Leakers…
What have we learned about the Left’s moralistic talk of Trump’s supposed collusion, obstruction, Logan Act violations, and leaking? One, that these are all projections of real resistance behavior. The zeal to remove Trump by any means necessary justified colluding with Russians, obstructing justice, undermining his administration abroad, and chronic leaking. Two, these deep-state and media elites are narcissistically delusional. So inured are they to deference that they really believed they should have the power, indeed the right, to subvert democracy, to overturn a U.S. election on the justification that the wrong voters had voted for the incorrect candidate and both needed to be corrected by the right people. All that is why the last 28 months have been both scary and dangerous.
Whenever the Left accuses you of something, it’s a safe bet that it’s what they’ve been doing, or would like to do.
Drivers’ Licenses
Should they even be issued by the states? I’d prefer they not, but they are a convenient form of ID.
Samantha Powers
All of the unmasking was unprecedented, and probably related to opposition to Israel.
Lunar Heritage Sites
A bill has been introduced in the Senate, by Ted Cruz and Gary Peters, to preserve them. For All Moonkind has been working on this for a while. It would only protect the sites from Americans, but we need to make this into a multilateral agreement.

The Mann Lawsuit
We have filed a petition to the Supreme Court to grant a writ of certiori.
[Mid-morning update]
National Review has filed as well. Their petition is here.
[Update mid-afternoon]
A reminder that we have 24 amici curiae in this. I suspect they’ll join the petition, and Mann will remain amiciless.
[Update a couple minutes later]
I also see that in re-reading that (I may have noted it at the time), that they misspell “warm mongers” in citing the blog post, and attribute my Jerry Sandusky comment to Mark Steyn, who was quoting me.
[Friday-morning update]
Here’s the press release from CEI. And the Daily Caller has a story on it.

Maria Butina
…jailed for the crime of being Russian.
Seems like Trump should be able to pardon her. I would, just to watch heads explode.
And meanwhile, the rats are fleeing the sinking collusion ship.
The Gateway
Bob Zimmerman says it’s time for it to die.
Yes, the bureaucrats are pretending that it’s a required part of returning to the moon when, as Bob Zubrin has pointed out it’s a toll booth at best, and a likely roadblock, and there has been no public debate about its necessity.
