The party was founded to preserve slavery, and it continues to this day. It’s just taken a more insidious form.

Female Reporters Covering Trump
I’d have a mite more sympathy for them if I didn’t remember how many of these people thought this was perfectly fine way to treat Sarah Palin eight years ago. I would never use those kinds of words to describe Hillary, but I’m perfectly comfortable describing the former Secretary of State as a corrupt incompetent serial felon and liar.
The Crisis In Space Science
What looks to be an interesting paper from Martin Elvis, an astrophysicist who groks private spaceflight.
Fixing Fractures
With 3-D printed bone. Faster, please. Why should it wait five years for human trials?
One-Party Government
More Americans want it. Because the Left has succeeded in dumbing down the populace about the founding principles of the Republic. I agree with this:
…since the GOP will almost certainly hold the House — and looks like it’s got a good chance with the Senate — if you want one-party government you need to elect Trump. On the other hand, Trump’s so different from the Republicans in Congress that it would still be divided government, really. Which I personally find more of a comfort than a disappointment.
Yes.
Political Correctness
Without it, we might not have a terror problem at all.
My confidence in the FBI is pretty much zero at this point.

Speaking of the FBI, nothing that Comey says about the Clinton investigation makes any sense. Well, if you assume the fix was in from the beginning (as she told Brett Baier), it does.

From (Democrat, AFAIK) Jonathan Turley:
Of all of the individuals who would warrant immunity, most would view Mills as the very last on any list. If one assumes that there may have been criminal conduct, it is equivalent to immunizing H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman in the investigation of Watergate.
Why, it’s almost as though there was no intent to seriously investigate.
This is gangster government, and it will only get worse if she gets into the White House. At least Trump will be more likely to be reined in by Congress (perhaps even impeached and removed).

Good question, from a smart prosecutor: “What more would she have had to do to get you to prosecute her?”
The Obama “Recovery”
If it “had done no better than match the postwar average, the US economy would be more than two trillion dollars richer than it is — which translates to thousands of dollars per American household.
Heckuva job, Barry.”
This is why it’s such deception by the Democrats to say “how many jobs were created.” It ignores how many weren’t, or were destroyed.
The Safety Of SLS
I have no difficulty whatsoever believing this:
Most troubling of all, the internal assumption at MSFC is that the first SLS flight will have a built-in risk of failure of around 8%. This risk is being “baked in” to the design of SLS in part due to decisions being made at MSFC about software and avionics – decisions that are being made so as to not surface troublesome issues that no one wants to deal with. One can imagine that safety folks at MSFC are nervous.
This is no way to build a rocket folks.
Once you understand that (unlike at SpaceX) the goal is not to build a rocket, it all makes sense.
A Reason To Vote For Trump
A quarter of federal workers would quit if he’s elected. I don’t think that’s the threat that they think it is.
The Global Oil Surplus
But, but…PEAK OIL!
I predict that the wealth generated by cheap fossil energy will vastly exceed the costs of mitigating changes in climate, regardless of their cause.
