…has gone live on line. The issue has the theme of a space renaissance, also containing a very technical article by Bob Zubrin on Moon Direct, and a piece by Micah Meadowcroft on why space settlers may be doomed to disappointment.

Hopefully a return to the idea of Web 1.0, with better tech,
Hardening Your Place Of Worship
Four things you can do right now. Plus, “this Jewish boy is buying a gun.”
It’s really the only solution. The Left’s position on guns is both utopian and irrationally inconsistent. They simultaneously insist that Trump is Hitler, but that only Der Staat should have arms.

Dad with a gun shoots down a masked gunman at a McDonald’s full of kids. That’s ultimately the only way it can work in a free country. And with more of this, attempts at mass murder would be more discouraged. “Gun-free zones” are nothing but an open invitation to these people.
The Avenatti Lies
Why it’s important to go after them.
Yes, we have to slap this atrocious behavior down now.
The Never-Ending Hypocrisy Of The Left
Alan Dershowitz points it out in the case of the “right-wing” pipe bomber.
Oh, and for lagniappe, the anti-Semite who shot up the synagogue was not a Trump supporter.

Never-Trumper (and Jew) John Podhoretz on the slaughter in Pittsburgh. (Spoiler: It has nothing to do with Trump.)
[Update a while later]
A brief excerpt:
Based on the early evidence, the shooter was not only consumed with a hatred of Jews but possessed a kind of sneering contempt for Trump on the grounds that Trump was basically a Jewish agent or a Jew-lover himself. Trump can only be blamed for the murderous Jew-killing actions of someone who thought of him that way by people who are so consumed by hatred of him that there is nothing they won’t blame him for.
Yup.
Democrats Are “Targeted” By “Bombs”
…and suddenly the rules change.
Square quotes because I don’t think the bombs were intended to go off. They were intended to be found.
A Letter To Our Chinese Friends
Americans (and westerners in general) really are different.
Yes, Judeo-Christianity is a fundamentally different philosophy and basis for society.
The Problem With The “Blue Wave”
It’s the political correctness, stupid.

Aaaanold Schwarzenegger
…has become a girlie man.
Fauxcahontas’s DNA
It shows that she’s heap big authentic.
[Update Wednesday afternoon]
Warren’s Clintonian smoke signals.
It’s worth noting that Warren brought on a lot of these tropes about Siberian Americans with her “Powwow Chow.”

Actual descendant of Pocahontas to Warren: Apologize.
I suspect that the fraud will keep doubling down.

Cherokee Nation to Elizabeth Warren: Drop dead.
Unlikely she’ll do that, either, but rarely has someone so publicly pwned themselves.
[Saturday morning]
America is a wonderfully mixed-up place. You meet somebody named Qiáng MacFarland Lopez and the safe bet is that he’s an American. And many of us have had the peculiar experience of feeling a strong sense of kinship with a culture that is not our own. (That’s me in a Swiss train station.) “Multiculturalism” is an intellectual dead end, but culture is not, and there is much to be said for learning Chinese or Hebrew or Nahuatl, reading the great Spanish novels, or coming to understand Buddhism as something more than a feel-good corporate trend.
To consider oneself fixed within the bounds of one’s own specific patrimony is an intellectual poverty. But Senator Warren has not dug into Cherokee history, language, or culture. She simply used the fiction of her Cherokee identity to get something she wanted — a little political leg up on the rest of the sanctimonious white ladies. That’s cheap, vulgar, and wrong — and the Cherokee are right to be annoyed by it. And if Texas Democrats really want a Hispanic name on the ballot to put up against Senator Cruz, then they might consider — here’s a radical thought! — nominating someone of Hispanic heritage as their candidate. As for Rachel Dolezal — my best guess is that being Rachel Dolezal is its own punishment.
I don’t think the Democrats understand how sane people view all this stuff (not to mention all the gender insanity).
