No, there is no such thing as an LGBT person.
Sorry, New York Times
…but America began in 1776.
That Pulitzer is as disgraceful as Duranty’s.
The Second Amendment
Is a day of reckoning about to dawn for those who want to make it a second-class right?
Let’s hope.
Postmodernism
It’s the latest victim of the plague.
As the old saying goes, it’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
The Wuhan Cover Up
The Lunar Lander Awards
Eric Berger has the story:
NASA is taking a two-pronged approach toward the Artemis program. The agency has a clear mandate from the White House to land humans on the Moon by 2024. This has been criticized by some as a “political” date, but supporters of the fast timeline say it has injected needed urgency into the program. At the same time, NASA also wants to avoid the pitfalls of the Apollo Program—which flew six missions to the Moon and then ended due to high costs—by designing Artemis to be sustainable for the long term.
Unfortunately, as long as NASA is forced to continue to use SLS, that’s an impossible goal. Speaking of which, they just awarded a contract to AJR for $100M/engine.
Plus, Eric has a story on the uncertainty of launch architectures.
[Monday-morning update]
OK, so it’s not a hundred million per engine. It’s $146M.

Pandemic Reading
David Harsanyi finally read Moby Dick. I read it when I was young. I don’t feel like I have time to reread it, though I hope to continue to live for a long time.
If You Can’t Figure Out What Joe Biden Says
…is it still a lie? The amazing thing is that these are all direct quotes.
[Update a while later]
Link fixed now.
Overmothered Men
America is awash in them. Not just “overmothered” but, more importantly, underfathered. This is also a key part of the sociocultural dysfunction in the black community, because welfare policies encouraged so many black women to marry the government instead of the fathers of their children.
