He used their doctors to manipulate the population with scarcity of medical supplies.
It’s what socialists always end up doing.

The Shooter In New Zealand
An analysis.
The media wasted no time in blaming Trump, but I blame them, for at least two reasons:
First, while the shooter didn’t think that Trump was a great leader, he did admire him “a symbol of renewed white identity.” Why would he do that? Because that is how the media repeatedly portrays him, reality aside.
Second, in their continual calls for gun control, they encouraged him to think that his act would be the straw that finally broke the back, and allow them to finally implement it, resulting in the new American civil war that he claims to seek.
Free tip to Fox News, and conservatives. Start pushing the narrative that it’s the media’s fault, not Trump’s. Put them on the defensive for once.
And of course, this was big news, because one of their favorite victim groups, Muslims, were the target. Let’s see how much play they give the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, or the shooting in Utrecht. By Muslims.

This seems related: America’s race problems are mostly caused by the soft bigotry of guilty white virtue-signaling leftists (who falsely call themselves “liberals”).

Giving him the boot.
He does seem to have gone completely nuts.
The American Left’s Anti-Semitism
In order to understand it, look to Europe.
[Sunday-morning update]
The American Left’s anti-Semitism is part of Barack Obama’s legacy.
Indeed.
Future Visions, Current Issues In Space
I haven’t read it yet, but this testimony from the Brookings Institute looks like it could be interesting.
Space Force HQ
Greg Abbott wants it in Houston.
Of course he does. Let’s put the HQ of one of the services in a place that gets slammed by hurricanes and floods on a semi-regular basis.
Vandenberg would be a good location, other than earthquakes, but Colorado Springs, the current home of Space Command, is probably best, both in terms of centrality and low risk of natural disasters (other than fire). It could even share the service academy with the Air Force.
Welcome To Intersectional Brotherhood Week
It’s not much of an improvement on National Brotherhood Week, but everyone still hates the Jooz. And so the saga continues. It won’t end well.

The Democrat’s Omar Problem
"You can't say 'all lives matter' when we say black lives matter! That's raciss!" — some people
"We can't condemn anti-Semitism without condemning all the 'ism's!" — same people

[Afternoon update]
The Democrats’ resolution on anti-Semitism has gone from impotent to totally worthless. I have to confess to going through a lot of popcorn watching the latest racist meltdown of the Left.
[Friday-morning update]
The old Democrat Party is new again:
I think we have crossed a Rubicon of sorts. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and the Congressional Black Caucus–which supported Omar unanimously, as best one can tell from news reports–are in the driver’s seat. Anti-Semitism is now accepted by the Democratic Party.
Nothing new, really. The Klan hated Jews, too.

Anti-Semitism: It’s all the rage.

An inflection point in American history. Plus this.
Over the past couple of decades, the Democrats have been quite deliberately assembling a coalition containing a lot of antisemites. It is thus unsurprising that the party is becoming openly antisemitic.
American Jews have largely identified with the immigrants the Democrats have sought to encourage, seeing them as akin to their ancestors who fled to America. In fact, they’re more like the people those ancestors were fleeing from.
Fascists gonna fascist.

The clarity accompanying the takeover of the House by Democrats.
I can viscerally understand the Never Trump motivation, but I have been shaking my head at insanity from former conservatives in thinking that putting the Democrats in charge wouldn’t be diving into the fire from the frying pan.

Oh, Sandy. Is there anyone out there who thinks it's at all important to end our dependence on Putin to get our astronauts into space? https://t.co/dv1IhziJQc
