Six times the Obama administration should have done it.
But then they wouldn’t have been “scandal free.”

Mars Society Conference
I’m on the schedule to speak about space property rights on in a plenary session on Sunday morning.
Tommy Robinson
He’s free, for now, but it’s sad to see the degree to which even some conservatives in England have fallen.
Brennan And Clapper
Yes, pull their clearances; they’re dangerous, partisan hacks.
I will note, though, that there’s been a lot of confusion on this issue. One does not need to work for the federal government to have a clearance, and one doesn’t intrinsically give it up when one leaves government service. When someone leaves the employ of a contractor to go work for a different one, their clearance goes with them, and often when someone leaves government service, they retain their clearance so they can work on classified projects in the private sector, or as a consultant. But those two clowns have abused their privileges, both in office and out. I think they should not only lose their clearances, but be in jail.
Making Cars Great Again
The administration is backing off on CAFE rules.
Good. They should never have existed in the first place. The federal government has no business telling auto makers what kind of mileage cars should get (or how many gallons a toilet should use to flush).
The Platform Economy
Iain Murray explains why bureaucracies hate it.
California
The top four reasons it’s unsustainable.

Office Of Commercial Space Transportation
Norm Bowles has built a web site with its history. I haven’t looked through it yet.
The Space Frontier Act
It’s nice to see bipartisan action on this useful bill, but I don’t see it as doing much about the frontier. And I’m glad that they’re finally taking OCST out of the FAA, something I’ve been advocating for a quarter of a century, ever since Gore buried it there.
