I linked to this essay when it was first published early this year, but it’s worth revisiting it in light of the Thanksgiving holiday.

A New Space History Book
…from Lori Garver (for whom it is first hand) and Michael Sheetz. Here‘s a sample chapter.
Asymptomatic And Secondary Infections
There is very little actual science behind any of the draconian measures that have been taken.
Voter Fraud
The crime that must not be mentioned.
Well, it’s understandably a touchy subject for Democrats.
[Update Friday morning]
This is a pretty bold claim. I hope they’re right, but some have pointed out that if they don’t have the proof, they’ve opened themselves up to a defamation suit from Dominion. On the other other hand, this doesn’t look suspicious at all.
Meanwhile, nearly half the electorate thinks that the election was stolen from Trump, including a third of Democrats. And is election fraud possible in America? Sadly, yes, because as he notes, there are no political incentives to eliminate the possibility.

[Update a few minutes later]
Are Trump’s lawyers big enough to back up their claims?
[Monday-morning update]
Well, this doesn’t seem good. Has Powell gone off the deep end?

Propping Up Camelot
On the anniversary after 911, I asked if it was over. David Bernstein has some thoughts on the fact that many historians refuse to accept or, at least, admit the fact that Kennedy was murdered by a leftist. But most people today weren’t even alive when it happened.
Hyperbaric Oxygen
Can it reverse aging? I’d like to see this replicated. I found this interesting: “The clinical trial was conducted as part of a comprehensive Israeli research program that targets aging as a reversible condition.” [My emphasis]
Too many people in this country still think of aging as an inevitable condition, rather than treating it as a disease to be fought. And Biden’s ghoulish new “health” adviser thinks that we shouldn’t live past 75. Despite the description in the story, I consider him neither a “medical ethicist” or “health-care expert.”
The Mayflower
…was much more consequential to American history than the 1619 Project.
Morons
How does Wolf think he’s going to enforce this?
New York Sheriffs
No, “we won’t be enforcing Cuomo’s Thanksgiving restrictions.”
Nice to see them standing up to tyranny.
Rewriting Space History
Another relentlessly stupid conservative take on space policy.
Yes, Obama canceled Constellation without consulting Congress, but it was a terrible program in dire need of cancellation, and Trump did nothing to make Commercial Crew happen. Giving him credit for it would be like giving Nixon credit for the moon landings.
