…and why it isn’t “here to stay.”
Yes, the notion that it’s going to continue to survive the myriad court challenges ahead is wishful thinking on the part of the statists.

Why We’re Stuck On Planet Earth
I found this piece pretty unimpressive.

Fred Hof
“I was wrong“:
I’ve indicated I admire Hof’s honesty and courage in admitting this. But that doesn’t mean I admire everything about him. For example, why didn’t he speak up in September of 2012, which after all was prior to Obama’s re-election? Might it have mattered? I really don’t know, but maybe. And why, oh why, had this very smart man not noticed that the biggest “policy priority” of the Obama administration has long been politics and spinning to political advantage?
Seriously, by March of 2012, how could he have not realized this? His bio doesn’t say much about his political affiliation—I would guess “Democrat” and probably “liberal Democrat”—and this is the most likely explanation for his failure to notice things that were absolutely obvious but would mean splitting with the party.
And there is no more unforgivable thought crime than splitting with the Party, regardless of the damage to the nation
The West
Is it slip slipping away? Many seem determined to grease the skids. And as noted, the picture of the European “defence ministers” is less than inspiring.
A Cancer-Fighting Virus
…has been genetically engineered.
I propose that anti-GMO types not be given access to it. Of course, if they stick to their…guns…they would refuse it.
The Martian As Time Travel
It takes us back to our society half a century ago.
As I’ve said repeatedly, the part of the film that requires the most suspension of disbelief is that NASA would ever be sufficiently audacious and cost effective to send someone to Mars.
Milo Yiannopoulos
His terrifying allure. An interesting story by one of his feminist “adversaries.”
The IRS
The Department of (In)Justice may be running interference for you, but your legal problems haven’t gone away, and aren’t going to.
[Afternoon update]
More of this, please. Papers have been filed in the House for the impeachment of John Koskinen for (among other things) destruction of evidence.
Gina McCarthy should be next.
The Donald
…finally treats a political opponent with respect and good faith.
I understand the white-hot anger at the GOPe, and share it. I will never comprehend the notion that Trump is a rational response to it. He’s a Democrat, and a opportunistic chameleon with (like Romney) no discernible political principles.
When God Goes Away
…superstition takes his place. Including things like the climate-change religion.
I think it was Chesterton who said that when people cease believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing, they believe anything. This is why, despite my own lack of belief, I think that attacks on organized religion by the Left (as engaged in by people like Dawkins and Dennett) can be disastrous. Like death, God serves a useful societal purpose, if not for every individual, whether He exists or not.
