I’m swamped with the space development conference, but this is worth a read.

Thoughts from Matthew Continetti on Trump’s s speech, which is if a pattern and perhaps the best of his presidency.
There is a new report out from the Reason Foundation, by Jeff Greason and James Bennett, on how it needs to be rethought and reorganized. I haven’t read it yet, but I expect it to be good (I saw Jeff today at the Space Settlement Forum, where I gave a talk on space property rights).
There are a bunch of new ones out as part of the fiftieth anniversary. Here’s a list (including some old classics as well).
80% of Mexican territory, including the border regions (natch) is controlled by drug cartels.
There is one, and only one way (or at least it’s a necessary if not sufficient condition) to deal with this: Legalize drugs.
Color footage of D-Day and the invasion of Europe has been discovered. Seeing it in color really does “color” our perception of that era.
And Bill Whittle has a video making the same point.
Who knew that an orthodox Jew was encouraging Nazis to bomb synagogues?
Thoughts on the faux compassion of Marxism.

What have we learned about the Left’s moralistic talk of Trump’s supposed collusion, obstruction, Logan Act violations, and leaking? One, that these are all projections of real resistance behavior. The zeal to remove Trump by any means necessary justified colluding with Russians, obstructing justice, undermining his administration abroad, and chronic leaking. Two, these deep-state and media elites are narcissistically delusional. So inured are they to deference that they really believed they should have the power, indeed the right, to subvert democracy, to overturn a U.S. election on the justification that the wrong voters had voted for the incorrect candidate and both needed to be corrected by the right people. All that is why the last 28 months have been both scary and dangerous.
Whenever the Left accuses you of something, it’s a safe bet that it’s what they’ve been doing, or would like to do.
This is great. Trump and Brennan are publicly fighting over a cartoon.
