Roger Simon is starting to believe the conspiracy theories.
As he notes, there is something in the president’s transcripts that he doesn’t want us to see, and I think he’s right — they would reveal a mediocre student, and one who claimed foreign birth.
They’re finally turning on him:
…nearly half of Millennial’s surveyed – 47 percent – said they would support a recall of the president.
Most probably don’t know this, but there’s no such thing as a “recall” of a president. However, as I’ve noted previously, the Constitutional equivalent would be to elect enough Republicans to both houses next fall to impeach and remove him.

Millennials jump ship over ObamaCare bait’n’switch.
What headlines would look like there.
Obviously, I disagree with the one on global warming. “Consensus” is not a scientific term. And even if it were, it’s not close to 90%.
Lileks has some thoughts:
The point is: Donald wakes up in America, in a room bedecked with American symbols, and is unabashedly grateful. It was an appeal to a vague but widely assumed national identity that was clearly superior to the Nazi alternative in every possible way. Oh, sure, some weisenheimer in the back row may have grumbled “It ain’t our fight!” or “no fourth term for Rooosevelt!” No one in the audience went home and hugged a flag. But you could also look at the cartoon in a different light: “That Time a Cartoon was Unapologetically Grateful For America Without Including a Moronic Hyper-patriotic Caricature Named Biff Punchjaw To Let the Animators Off the Hook Lest You Think They Have No Awareness of the Nation’s Dark Side As Well.”
It stuck in my craw, my craw being dipped in extra-strength adhesive these days, because another site I visit looked at another wartime Disney cartoon and took it to task for its gendered attitudes. It is not enough to be correct today; one must also demonstrate awareness of previous incorrectness, and parade around your awareness like a flag in a rally. Annnd this came after a visit to an animation site, where the people in the comments fell over themselves to pick apart “Frozen” and the “Lost” Mickey short that preceded it. His nose! It’s historically inaccurate! Mickey’s nose didn’t look like that until 1931, but that’s the 1926 Pegleg Pete! Hah! From hell’s heart I fling my poo! Shame!
Plus, the usual weekly Captain Video as a bonus.
…have raised a generation of physically adult children.
I’ve had jobs since I was twelve years old.
An asteroid has just hit the aerospace dinosaurs, in Europe, China, Russia, and here.
Time (way past time, really, it should never have been created) to abolish it.

More thoughts from Veronique de Rugy.
I didn’t expect the book to be available for purchase at Amazon for another couple weeks. This
Working on e-versions now.
…continue. Now the administration is surrendering to China, while pretending they aren’t.
I’m glad they’re making progress, but I don’t understand why they want a hydrogen engine for a booster, particularly for suborbital. The exhaust velocities don’t match well, and you have a lot of handling and bulk-density issues.
