This is hilarious. I saw Molly Jong Fast tweet about how “Orwellian” the phrase was yesterday. Our intellectual betters in the media are idiots.

This is pretty funny.
The Media
…has to start being honest about the Obama scandals before it’s too late:
Unlike the Russia collusion fiction that was maintained by the Obama administration, holdouts in the Trump administration, and finally the Mueller special counsel posse, the spying and leaking campaign story is coming out with facts. Declassifications, court documents, and investigative reports have all shown the falsehood of the Russia collusion hoax and the truth of the spying scandal. More could be coming.
It was one thing to spin the Russia collusion hoax during a time of mass elite freakout. But now everyone knows it was false. The truth is an existential threat to journalists, which is why the more activist among them are scrambling to kill the story and paint it as a distraction. These reporters won book contracts, TV gigs, promotions, and political success by peddling the hoax. They truly can’t be honest about it.
But others who weren’t so complicit have a shot here. There is no getting out of this easy, so if there are any reporters who care about their reputation, much less the truth, they should get on the side of truth now.
Don’t hold your breath. They can’t handle the truth.
Not Just Higher Ed
Another of the silver linings of this is that it may result in a political environment for a massive reform of government schools.
Starship On The Moon
Bob Zubrin has a different idea.
Elon chose methane because he was thinking Mars, but absent finding significant deposits of lunar carbon, LOX/Hydrogen is probably a better propellant for lunar ops.
Why Hospitals Are In Trouble
The current conventional wisdom is that they’re hurting because of the ban on “elective” procedures, but it turns out that most admissions are caused by the entertainment industry (restaurants and bars). Shut down all the purveyors of alcohol and food poisoning, and the beds are empty.
Patricia cut my hair last weekend with a Wahl electric clipper that I’d bought for ten bucks at Ross years ago, but we’d never used. She overdid it, and I look like I’m ready for boot camp, but she’d probably do better with practice and learning how to use it. I’ve heard Jesse Watters describe how his wife had learned to cook, and now I’m wondering how many of us will go back to paying other people to cut our hair and cook for us, now that we’ve figured out we can actually do it ourselves? Of course, I’ve never been a big restaurant goer, for reasons I’ve discussed several times here: the cost, and the nutrition. I’ve probably been affected by this as little as anyone.
John Brennan
…and the plot to subvert an American election. A Democrat plot.
Yes, I suspect that Durham’s investigation will reveal that he was a key part of the core of this conspiracy.
NASA’s “Comically Big Moon Rocket”
How it’s coming along. There’s nothing funny about the cost, though.
A Quieting Sun
Are we headed for a new little ice age? There is no scientific reason to think it won’t happen.
Cheap energy and free markets fuel wealth creation. Fossil fuels are the cheapest form of energy currently, for both electricity and transportation.
A Single-Atom Transistor?
This is quite the breakthrough, but the people doing it are engineers, not “scientists.”
