Bill Barr gave a speech to the Federalist Society this weekend on how what the Deep State has been doing is much more dangerous to the Republic than Donald Trump.
Mike Gold
Has a new job at NASA, to ensure the ability to utilize space resources. I talked to him about this in DC last month, and sent him a copy of my IAC paper.
Space Settlement Summit
I’m attending this two-day event at Caltech, so posting will be light to non-existent.
(Saturday-evening update)
The final afternoon of the conference, the right side of my lower back started to hurt. It got progressively worse, to the point that I went to a sports doctor yesterday, who gave me a shot in the ass, Vicodin and steroids, and a back brace, and I had an MRI this morning, whose results I won’t get until Friday.
Bottom line: I’m trying to get well enough to travel to Houston Tuesday, but posting will continue to be light.

Alex Vindman
…is living, breathing proof that the Deep State exists, and that it is corrupt.
My Law Suit
SCOTUS conferenced on whether or not they’ll grant cert today, but there is no world about the result. We now won’t know before Tuesday.
[Tuesday-morning update]
We hoped we’d hear today, but the good news is that this time, it was apparently conferenced on Friday, and has now been relisted. The alternative would have been a denial, but now we may hear on Friday, and they will likely grant it.
