At some point, I think it will be important to distinguish between resource utilization for personal use (living off the land), for commercial use in space (e.g., selling propellant), and terrestrial use.

They Asked For Trump
A reminder from David Bernstein that evangelicals supported the immoral candidate because the Left had put the fear of un-God into them. Many of those SCOTUS victories for were Pyrrhic for them.
The Latest Bombshell
Well, now we know why the DoJ and FBI have been dragging their feet for so many months on those subpoenaed documents. I’m guessing we’ll soon be seeing a lot more, and worse.
And then there’s this:
One of the reasons they couldn't charge her for all the felonies she committed was that they couldn't do so without implicating Obama. https://t.co/iuPCxJuDIO

Not as much as he wanted to, but he did a lot of damage.
[Afternoon update]
Just got around to reading the whole thing at the first link:
On October 30, the Department of Justice finally got in gear to get a warrant — to include everything dealing during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure with the State Department and all devices — and especially the Comey-denominated “golden emails” from the BlackBerrys and all the messages sent to Abedin to be given to Mrs. Clinton, right?
Nope.
Shocker #1: Despite everyone’s recognition of the importance of the “explosive” “bomb,” and the “golden emails” on the Weiner laptop, the FBI never even sought to review the “golden” emails. FBI General Counsel Baker pushed hard to expand the application to include those, but Strzok and DOJ prosecutors shot it down.
Shocker #2: They deliberately ignored the emails between Huma Abedin and others — despite knowing she was a proxy for the Secretary and had lied to them in her interview.
Federal investigators knew people would email Abedin, and she would print things out for Clinton. Abedin admitted it was easier for her to print things from home in Brooklyn.
Logically then, it appears it was Abedin who deliberately stripped classified markings from emails to forward the information to Mrs. Clinton so she could then deny ever receiving anything marked classified. It’s called “plausible deniability,” and it was a deliberate and illegal scheme for handling classified information.
Shocker #3: Over analysts’ objections, the FBI never reviewed the Weiner laptop to determine if it had been compromised by foreign agents despite finding that Huma Abedin had forwarded classified information to it. Those were flagrant violations of 18 U.S.C. §793.
There are important conclusions from these facts in the inspector general’s report.
This is a much bigger cover up than Watergate, by orders of magnitude.
Mueller’s Folly
Spygate
Neo-neocon has a link round up. And yes, I do think that a lot of the immigration outrage is a (successful) attempt to deflect attention from this.
Left-Coast Lawlessness
Sounds like San Francisco, Seattle and Portland are becoming like third-world hell holes. I’m supposed to go up to the city in July for the ISS conference. Doesn’t seem like a great location choice.
Illegal Immigration Solutions
Democrats have zero tolerance for them.
It’s all about importing more voters to swamp the ones here who won’t bend to their will.
[Update a few minutes later]
Who wants to solve the crisis? Not Congressional Democrats. They don’t want a solution; they want the issue.
Mark Sundahl
He’s going to be on The Space Show in a few minutes (2 PM PDT), talking about space law and space property rights. I’ll be interested to hear what he has to say.
BTW, just turned in the proposal to NASA this morning, so I’m sort of decompressing.
[Update a few minutes later]
Welp, five minutes past, and so far he’s a no show.
[Update a couple minutes later]
OK, sounds like they’re about to start now.
[Update toward the end]
Nice to hear him endorse the multilat idea I’ve been (and will continue to be) promoting.
“Deviated”
The Horowitz report is out, and (as predicted) it looks pretty bad for the FBI and DOJ. And Comey.
[Friday update at noon]
Three big takeaways from the report. It’s a big report, and there will be a lot of cherry picking by both sides.
[Update a while later]
The report shows that the fix was in from the beginning for the email investigation. Well, duh.
[Saturday-morning update]
Mollie Hemingway read the whole report so you don’t have to.
Tim Draper’s Latest
He’s got his new proposal to split up California (this time into only three states) on the ballot. If this miracle happens, I’d move to Orange County in South California in a heartbeat.
