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 Aristocracy Of Victimhood
Jonah’s latest “news” letter.
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.

“If hating Israel is wrong, we don’t want to be right.”

Anti-Semitism: It’s all the rage.
[Update a few more minutes later]
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.

[Update late morning]
Omar and her allies won this battle.
[Update a few minutes later]
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.

Aaaaaaand (once again) Paul Krugman beclowns himself.
Roscosmos
It’s not really acting. They have been left behind.
But, while I like Sandy, this kind of thing continues to drive me crazy.
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

A Civil War
Is America already in one? In many ways, yes. It’s a Cold Civil War (for now), but one regardless.
The Security-Clearance Process
…is about to get a long-overdue overhaul for the 21st century. It takes too long, and costs too much. I haven’t had a clearance in over a quarter of a century, and lack of one has probably limited my income opportunities.
