Confederate Theater

“In regards to the deployment of national guard soldiers, I hear people on the left say that they are anticipating a ‘Kent State’ moment.

Personally, I expect to see a ‘Ft. Sumter’ moment even sooner. As a prelude, I would expect to see a Harpers Ferry type incident occur within a deep blue state. And by Harpers Ferry, I refer to a prelude incident where a Federal facility is attacked inside of a blue state by a local zealot.”

That already happened, in 2020, with the federal building in Portland, but the Democrats told me that it was “mostly peaceful.”

Welcome to reactionary, neo-confederate Portland.

College Professors

…largely only teach the left-wing view of controversial issues:

“‘Personally, I thought we’d find some imbalance, some activist teaching,’ co-author Jon Shields, a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College, told The College Fix. ‘I just didn’t expect it to be the norm in the cases we studied. That was genuinely surprising to me.’

Sadly, it’s not surprising to me at all. It’s a large part of why the country is such a disaster.

A Poor Choice For NASA

This is exactly the wrong person to chart a needed new course:

  • Kshatriya worked within JSC’s mission operations directorate, climbing the ladder from robotics staff to robotics operations lead working on ISS systems.
  • He then served a stint as a Mission Control flight director, where he oversaw cargo and crew missions to the ISS, before becoming deputy manager of the ISS vehicle office.
  • In 2021, Kshatriya moved to Washington, DC, as assistant deputy associate administrator for exploration systems development for the SLS, Orion, and Exploration Ground Systems programs.
  • In 2023, he became deputy associate administrator for the Moon to Mars program.

In other words, despite concerns expressed yesterday about China in the Senate clown show, business as usual.
