It was a failure on the part of the Navy (and the Pentagon in general). I continue to find the notion of disarming troops in bases insane.
The UK
…has finally decided in favor of Brexit.
This is good news, both in the win of a party that finally wants to be responsive to the people, and in the loss of the party of socialism and anti-Semitism.
Not a lot of time or energy for any further analysis, given that I got up at 5 AM (2 AM PST) to catch my flight to be back home today, but it seemed like quite a great week for Trump overall. In fact, even the impeachment charade in the House may be part of his good week.
[Friday-morning update]
American leftists thought that Corbyn’s inevitable victory would be their model.
Good luck with that. 🙂
[Update a few minutes later]
Mark Steyn says “Boffo Boris.”
[Update a couple minutes later]
All the Brexit defectors lost their seats.
The good news just keeps rolling in.
[Update a couple more minutes later]
No, Boris is no right winger. Well, Trump isn’t really a conservative, either.
Lacking Self Awareness
Eric Holder (!) says that Bill Barr is “too political” to be Attorney General.
On The Road Again
I’m on a layover in Charlotte, on my way to DC for a few space events and a meeting with my lawyers to prepare for trial. Be good in comments.
[Thursday-afternoon update]
Just got back from DC. Was too busy to blog, but hopefully back to a regular schedule now. I think/hope that was my last business trip of the year.

Yovanuvitch
Did she perjure herself in the impeachment “hearings”?Â
Do Pelosi and Schiff really think that this won’t come out if there’s a trial in the Senate? I know that most of the Democrat operatives with bylines want to pretend that this story doesn’t exist, but there will be some actual news organizations (like OAN) reporting on it.
S. E. Cupp
This is sad.
Another TDS victim. I used to think she was smart.
The 1619 Project
No, it wasn’t slavery that made America exceptional, and it is not “part of America’s DNA.”
David Gibson
On the passing of the Oberlin plaintiff. Places like Oberlin and Evergreen are despicable.
Anthony Hopkins
…on why he doesn’t talk about politics: “Actors are pretty stupid.”
Mark Ruffalo would seem to be a poster child for that proposition.
The Chinese Regime
Is it on the brink of disintegration?
This wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing; the resulting chaos could be disastrous not just for the Chinese people, but the world.
