It’s a 19th-century solution for a 21st-century problem. Most of the takes on this have been idiotic, but this is a good one. I’d note though, per the end, it’s not a choice between a Space Corps/Force or Space Guard. We need both.

When A Foreign Power Meddled In A Election
Like me, Byron York remembers the 90s, the Clinton administration, and the Chinese government. But that was different because shut up.
Another Arkancide?
The reach of the Clinton’s is long.
Space Force
That was then, this is now:
Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson asserted on Wednesday that the service is not pushing back on President Trump’s idea to create a Space Force. She offered no new details on how the process of forming a new service might unfold but insisted that this “has to be done the right way.”
I’m old enough to remember when she opposed Space Corps, let alone Space Force.
And are people really talking (again) about a Department of Space? Please, no.
Iran In Iraq
I could never understand why the Bush administration let Iran get away with so much. They were waging war on us (and have been since 1979), and the administration did essentially nothing. And then Obama came along and bent us over for them and didn’t even ask for lube. Thanks, Valerie!
“Right Of Return”
We are finally rejecting it for Palestinians. All it ever was was a right to destroy the state of Israel.
The Strait Of Hormuz
This should not end well for Iran.
If Leftists Treated Immigrants
John McCain
John McCain served his country well in Vietnam. My condolences to his family and friends. I wish that he had never been in politics.

Thoughts from Jim Treacher about a “humorous” take on McCain’s death.
Socialism
Well, it certainly resulted in the brutal premature deaths of many tens of millions of people in the last century. But maybe they weren’t doing it quite right. We’ll just have to keep trying until they get it right. For the children.
