…commemorates a terrible anniversary.
There is a whole young generation that has no idea how immoral and corrupt Bill and Hillary Clinton are. Now that the ice has been broken with Chappaquidick, I’d like to see a mini-series on their crimes in the 90s that the media refused to cover at the time.
A report on yesterday’s swearing-in ceremony from Marcia Smith. And another from Eric Berger. He seems to be off to a good start. I think he’ll be one of the best administrators NASA has had. He’ll certainly be refreshing after Charlie “Muslim Outreach” Bolden (Note: That was never actually a thing, but his idiotic interview with Al Jazeera made it hard to defend otherwise good space policy from the Obama administration).

Thoughts from Newt Gingrich, including some mild SLS bashing.
Though I guess it’s not a scandal, like all of Obama’s scandals weren’t scandals, because the media refuses to report it.

Another story the media finds uninteresting: The Clinton campaign illegally laundered $84M.
I’ve never abandoned this blog, but I have been posting to it a lot less, for a number of reasons (less time, other outlets). I didn’t move to Facebook, but I do spend a lot more time on Twitter.
John Hinderaker says it was a mistake for conservatives to move from the web to social media. Glenn has also noted recently that the old days of blogging were a lot more free wheeling, with less ability of the left to control it. Anyway, I’ll try to do more here.
…is ignorance about school violence, that has resulted in more of it.
Along with the “liberals” on the court, he just struck a blow against it. As Will says, it would be nice to see the conservative justices see the light. But I suspect many conservatives will rail against him, calling him a “liberal,” “soft on crime and illegal aliens.”

This seems related: The SEC’s administrative judge scandal. I’d love to see this sort of thing struck down as unconstitutional. Same with the IRS tax court.
Brian Weedon analyzes it, on Twitter.
It looks like a significant improvement over the current situation. It’s worth noting that in moving regulation to the Commerce Department, it could set the groundwork for a U.S. Space Guard. There have been times in history in which the Coast Guard was under Commerce.
[Late-morning update]
The Bridenstine era at NASA (finally) begins.
I think he’ll be one of the best administrators in recent history. I should add that Rubio’s (and others’, like Bill Nelson’s) statement that NASA should be run by a “space professional” are historically ignorant. Jim Webb was not a “space professional.”
Now I understand why Obama thought that Kanye West was “a jackass.” It’s because he doesn’t march in lockstep with the Left and the grievance industry.
[Monday-morning update]
On the other hand, Cathy Young isn’t impressed with Candace (to say the least).
Oh, sorry. Candace. I followed her activities at the time of her previous venture.https://t.co/tzK3xsYm5uhttps://t.co/01OSoc13T9https://t.co/5UBJo5EyDl

The data the CDC didn’t want you to see.
Didn’t fit the narrative.
The legal term for it “is bats**t crazy.”
Either the Dems really are nuts (not beyond the realm of possibility; Trump has driven many so far around the bend they need a JWST to see the bend from there), or this is a desperate fundraising ploy. Or (of course) both.
[Update a few minutes later]
The DNC is “on the verge” of a nervous breakdown? I think that ship sailed months ago:
Democratic strategist (apologize for that rancid term) Julius Epstein, looking justifiably anxious on Shannon Bream’s show Friday night, tried to argue this was a great opportunity for the Democrats to expose folks like Manafort and Kushner through discovery.
Good luck with that. Discovery in this matter would be disastrous for the Democratic Party. Wait until their leaders have to go on the stand to explain why the FBI wasn’t allowed to scrutinize the DNC servers that were supposedly invaded by the Russians. A raft of Democrat political factotums (Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, etc.) who made sweetheart deals and escaped true investigation by the FBI, perhaps even Hillary herself, will find themselves facing serious cross-examination for the first time. This civil trial would be curiously reminiscent of the OJ civil trial when the real truth came out. Wouldn’t you love to hear Strzok and Page deposed? How about Susan Rice?
Expect this to be dropped long before discovery.
