Cohen’s Testimony

…actually helped Trump.

The thing is, while I don’t find anything that Cohen says about Trump incredible, it’s things that I’ve always assumed about him. I doubt that there are very many people whose minds were changed about Trump as a result of what the scumbag said. And his statement at the end that Trump wouldn’t go easily if he loses the election is pretty ironic, considering that the Left and the Democrats (but I repeat myself), over two years into the term, still haven’t accepted their defeat.

Anti-American Forces At NASA?

If it’s not the intent of this to aid Russia, that’s certainly the effect.

And yes, this is concerning:

NASA has no business dictating what standards will be met for private spaceflight participants. Someone needs to stomp on this right now.

And just by coincidence, as NASA continues to want to purchase more rides from the Russians, another Fregat upper stage failed today.

Looks like while there may have been an anomaly, the mission was ultimately a success.

[Friday afternoon update]

Well, that piece by Reuters didn’t age well. Seems kind of dumb to have run it when the flight readiness review was scheduled for the very next day.

My Lawsuit

It’s now been two years since we requested an en banc rehearing of our case before the D.C. Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, twenty-four news organizations have filed amici on our behalf. I actually knew about this a few weeks ago, but decided to link this when Anthony’s site noted it.

[Afternoon update]

Here is the original report, which has several misquotes and misattributions (e.g., it misspells “warm mongers” and attributes some of my words to Mark Steyn).
