Ashlee Vance, author of the biography of Elon Musk, has a nice (and fascinating) piece on him.

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.
That Mysterious “Stalking” Russian Satellite
Trump’s Immigration Policies
No, they wouldn’t have prevented 911. And no, Ben Carson, neither would have declaring oil independence.
The frightening thing, of course, is that neither of these positions are as disconnected from geopolitical reality as Obama’s remain, almost seven years into his presidency. But now we just have to hold on and survive the next fifteen months.
Obama, Putin And Syria
Yes:
Obama’s outclassed here — if, that is, his goals are really those stated above. If, as many suspect, Obama is perfectly happy to see America and Europe weakened on the global scale, then he’s not incompetent at all.
Regardless of Obama’s motives, I don’t think he’s capable of discerning those of Vladimir Putin.
Jim Webb
Thoughts on who the real enemy is.
This demonization of their political adversaries, as Hillary did last night, and Barack Obama does often, is the hallmark of fascists. I disagree with Jim Webb on many issues, but I respect him. I think he’s finding out that he joined the wrong political party.
Putin And The Internet
That he can’t conceive of a complex entity existing without centralized control is an interesting reveal of his mindset.

Mark Steyn, on Obama’s withdrawal from the world.
The Riddle Of Obama
Thoughts from Neo-neocon:
Obama is here to punish America for its sins, and he’s been very successful at that. That the left and many liberals continue to love him, continue to support him, is a puzzlement to many people. But why wouldn’t those who have been successfully taught that America is a great evil in the world—birthed in evil, steeped in evil, and empowered by evil; especially racial evil but also countless other evils big and small—applaud his efforts?
Yup.
Plus, thoughts from a few days ago about facing the truth about the president.
Hillary’s Email Woes
…deepen:
The latest release of roughly 6,300 more pages of emails is just the latest installment of a prolonged disclosure process that has proved to be painful for Clinton’s presidential campaign. The roiling controversy has opened up the Democratic front-runner to accusations that she was trying to dodge public records rules and that she put sensitive material at risk — allegations Clinton denies.
Wednesday’s release marks the first time the State Department itself has deemed messages in Clinton’s account to warrant protection at the SECRET level — the middle tier of the national security classification system. State earlier classified one Benghazi-related message SECRET, but did so at the request of the FBI.
Well, if she denies it, that should settle it.
