Global Existential Risks
Climate change isn’t one of them.
The New Defense Secretary
Highlights from an interview with The Economist:

I think his book was a key reason for the pick. He’ll be an antidote to all of the woke nonsense that rose during the Obama administration.
Obama’s Legacy
How Trump crushed it.
Good riddance.
This Seems Like Sort Of A BFD

If SCOTUS upholds this, it can only be fixed with legislation. I expect SpaceX (and other people who want to build things) to go pedal to the metal now.

Expending The Expendables
The launch industry is seeing the light (and in China as well). The biggest expendable we should expend is SLS.
On Government Efficiency
A letter to Elon Musk.
Day One
I would love to see Milley recalled and court martialed, and stripped of all that nonsense chest candy.
More (a lot more) on Trump’s planned opening moves. It’s a good start. Worth noting, though, that he’s not actually going to be signing any laws on Day One.
[Update a while later]
They’re trying to get me to vote for him again (assuming I had the first time): Dismantling the FBI.
Calling Trump “HItler”
…has seriously damaged the moral realm.
I love how Biden and Harris congratulated Hitler on his victory last week. And how their acolytes, who thought he was Hitler, are confused after being told now, “Everything will be OK, we’ll have another election in a couple years.” It’s almost as though it was all a lie. Which blew back on them. Funny how telling people that they’re fascists, or garbage, or fascist garbage, doesn’t persuade them to vote for you.
