Trump’s New Budget Proposal
Thoughts on the mendacious media coverage of it.
A lot of Artemis fans on Twitter were cheering for the budget proposal of seventy billion dollars over five years to get back to the moon. Even ignoring how ridiculous that number is, I had to remind them of something.

The White House budget shows why we’re fiscally doomed.
[Wednesday-afternoon update]
Stop pretending that the president’s budget matters.

“Rational” Gun Policy
Finally, a presidential candidate willing to take a brave stand against fifty-clip guns.
Do these people have any comprehension of how stupid they sound?

Biden’s Campaign
…has been a disaster for liberalism and the Democrat Party.
Jonathan Chait’s tears are delicious.
Climate Extremists
We need to fight them before they upend society.
The Thresher
After almost six decades, they’re finally going to release the documents. This was one of the case studies I did for NASA when I was supporting S&MA at HQ a decade and half ago, but even at that time, questions remained. This may answer them.

The Socialist Temptation
Last time I was in DC, a couple weeks ago, I tried to have lunch with Iain Murray, but it turned out that he wasn’t downtown, but was at home writing a forthcoming book.

Secrecy
How do we survive it?
Starliner Woes
It continues to look worse and worse for Boeing. I’m almost starting to wonder if it will ever fly. SpaceX can do the job for less money, and it may not be that long before either Dreamchaser or Starship is flying (though it’s not clear that the latter will be capable of docking with the ISS).

Comments over there are (deservedly, IMO) brutal.
