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.
Journalism Today
It’s the childrens’ hour.
Tommy Robinson
He’s free, for now, but it’s sad to see the degree to which even some conservatives in England have fallen.
Jerry Brown
…is nuts:
“We’re fighting nature with the amount of material we’re putting in the environment, and that material traps heat, and the heat fosters fires, and the fires keep burning,” he said.
The governor added that “since civilization emerged 10,000 years ago, we haven’t had this kind of heat condition, and it’s going to continue getting worse and that’s the way it is.”
“Some people don’t want to accept that, some just outright deny it,” Brown continued. “I don’t say it with any great joy here – we’re in for a very rough ride. It’s going to get expensive. It’s going to get dangerous, and we have to apply all our creativity to make the best of what is going to be an increasingly bad situation, not just for California, but for people all over America and all over the world.”
Brown said the state’s budget would also have to figure in the cost of increased fire fury in the upcoming years. “So far, this fire activity is a small part of our very large budget, but it is growing and it will continue to grow as we adapt to the changing weather,” he said.
The governor said that steps to combat global warming can still, eventually, “shift the weather back to where it historically was.”
Uh huh.
[Late-morning update]
So the heat is worse than when civilization began according to Gov Jerry Brown, So I guess he believes California was uncivilized before 2007, cause 2006,2005,2003 maxes all look warmer to anyone that bothers looking More climate ambulance chasing, more weaponizing weather pic.twitter.com/jRc7drVNqp

Trump The Racist
…is the most pro-black president in history.
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 OSTP On Space
This is pretty forward thinking. It would be nice if Congress would get the memo.
