The press declares war on the new documentary.
Of course it does. It doesn’t fit the narrative.

Space Resource Utilization
Here are the proceedings of the symposium in the Netherlands. Haven’t read through them, but I expect to see a lot of support for Moon Treaty-like “solutions.”
That Unlawful Subpoena
CEI strikes back at the AG of the Virgin Islands.
Hamilton Stays
…and Andy Jackson is replaced by Harriet Tubman. I’m actually surprised. This makes too much sense for this administration.
I love this: Replacing the genocidal founder of the racist Democrat Party with a gun-toting black Republican woman. https://t.co/nS1KPx4Hnl

[Afternoon update]
Oh, good lord, Ben Carson is an historical idiot:
Ben Carson criticized the decision to replace former President Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill on Wednesday, saying Jackson was a “tremendous president.”
“I love Harriet Tubman. I love what she did. But we can find another way to honor her,” the former presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon said. “Maybe a $2 bill.”
What part of Jackson’s presidency does Carson like the best? The hogs in the White House? The slave owning? The ethnic cleansing of the southeast? The founding of the racist Democrat Party?
Hospitals Suck
…because they’re socialist bureaucracies.
Best wishes to John Stossel on beating his lung cancer.
ObamaCare
We told you so:
Obamacare, as constructed, attempted to fix a dysfunctional health care payment system by creating an even more complicated system on top of it, filled with subsidies, coverage mandates, and other artificial government incentives. But its result has been a system that plucked Americans out of coverage they like and forced them to pay more for less.
Now the insurers are beginning to realize that in spite of all the subsidies and mandates working in their favor, and despite all of the cost-cutting they have had to do at the expense of consumers, they just can’t make money in this system.
Of course, it was designed to fail, to provide a political glide path to single payer.
Title IX
As Megan McArdle tweeted, it’s almost like college administrators think that Stalin’s show trials got a bad rap.
No, Mr. Trump
We are not “supposed to be a democracy.”
My thoughts on Trump’s historical ignorance, and how he’s running for the wrong political party.
The Wages Of “Critical Theory”
College students cannot explain why a 5’9″ white guy isn’t a 6’5″ Chinese woman.
Remember, they’re putting themselves into tens of thousands of dollars of non-dischargeable debt for this sort of “education.”
Useful Cislunar Orbits
Jon Goff has a blog post on a recent FISO telecon. One of the implications for all of these options, of course, is that SLS makes no sense.
