It’s past time to punish it with donor strikes, if conservatives can. But at least under Trump, the Justice Department may start to address it.

Space Force HQ
Greg Abbott wants it in Houston.
Of course he does. Let’s put the HQ of one of the services in a place that gets slammed by hurricanes and floods on a semi-regular basis.
Vandenberg would be a good location, other than earthquakes, but Colorado Springs, the current home of Space Command, is probably best, both in terms of centrality and low risk of natural disasters (other than fire). It could even share the service academy with the Air Force.
Venezuela
The collapse is near.
Via Stephen Green, who writes: “We’re watching the last chapter of Atlas Shrugged play out in Venezuela in realtime.”
Yes, it was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a how-to manual.
[Update a few minutes later]
Aaaaand the water plants have shut down.
[Update mid-afternoon]
Trump’s biggest challenge: Educating the kids on socialism. We shouldn’t have to do this, but the schools clearly haven’t. And unfortunately, that’s no accident.
The New Soviet (Hu)man
Kamala Harris says we can create it.
These leftists, continually in denial about human nature, have no sense of self awareness.
White House Behavior
Democrat presidents have behaved much worse than Trump. Yes.
Colorado
The bullies are running it. And ruining it. We’d been thinking of retiring there, but we’re rethinking that now.
Welcome To Intersectional Brotherhood Week
It’s not much of an improvement on National Brotherhood Week, but everyone still hates the Jooz. And so the saga continues. It won’t end well.
Keep Cars, But Don’t Make People Drive Them
An alternate, and more realistic version of the Green Leap Forward.
Two points: I fear the day that we won’t be allowed to drive, except in special circumstances (like amusement parks).
Point Two: I suspect that a lot of current auto traffic will move to the air, with the advent of Urban Air Mobility, particularly if the vehicles can be powered from the ground (e.g., Jeff Greason’s and Dan DeLong’s Electric Sky is working on such a concept). Airbus has an interesting concept of moving passengers via passenger modules that are moved from one vehicle type to another, like cargo containers, in which you’d share a pod with people from your door to an aircraft, to a long-range aircraft, to another aircraft, to the other door. That’s a lot more interesting and flexible concept than high-speed rail.
Titania McGrath
The man behind the hyperwoke Twitter account comes out. I’d always assumed it was the same person that ran Godfrey Elfwick, but apparently not.
Wrecking College Students
Three untruths that are harming them. Unfortunately, they’ve been fed a load of toxic nonsense even before they get to campus.
And I have the same reaction to someone who leads an “argument” with “I feel.”
