They remind us why Israel must exist. It’s shameful that the Democrat leadership says/does nothing about this.
The Clinton Server Coverup
You’ll be as shocked as me to learn that it was orchestrated by the Obama White House.
[Update a few minutes later]
The guy Barr just assigned to look into the Trump surveillance has experience prosecuting dirty cops in the FBI. Barr looks serious.
[Update a few minutes later]
More from Liz Sheld. As she notes, the issue isn’t whether or not the campaign was spied on, but whether it had a legitimate basis.
[Noon update]
The CIA (Gina Haspel’s) is joining Barr into looking into what happened in the Obama administration. Brennan had better lawyer up.
[Late-afternoon update]
Oh, well isn’t this interesting? Apparently Durham has been on the case for months.
Doris Day
Wow, another star from my youth who I hadn’t realized was still alive. She had a good run, though.
AOC’s Apocalypse
Hey, stupid conservatives, I was just kidding. Why can’t you take a joke?

Thoughts from Treacher.
Endgame Question
OK, saw Endgame yesterday. Question to people much more into MCU than me. In the final battle, there’s a very angry woman who comes at Thanos with two fiery swords. It looked like Natasha to me, but I suspect not, because, you know? If not, who was it?
[Update a few minutes later]
Never mind, someone on Twitter told me it was Wanda (the Scarlet Witch, a character with which I was unfamiliar, or had forgotten from Infinity War).
[Update a while later]
Question in comments: Sure, it’s been out long enough to have a spoiler discussion there. Have at it. No one has to read comments except me.

Twitter has blocked an eminent psychologist for political incorrectness on gender.
[Update Monday morning]
Related, sort of: Conservatives should not fear evolutionary theory. It would be nice to get them to accept this, because it’s one of the few areas in which the Left can claim that “the right” is “anti-science.” It’s nice to see this published at National Review.
Bezos’s O’Neillian Vision
There’s an article at Popular Mechanics, but the picture it has of Gerard O’Neill isn’t. Not positive, but I’m pretty sure it’s Brian O’Leary.
Surveillance Of The Trump Campaign
There was apparently a lot more of it than even those who have been following this thought.
You can tell by all the attacks on Barr that the Democrats and Obama apparatchiks are very concerned about how much of this is soon to be exposed. And hopefully some heads will roll, including Hillary’s people for obstruction of justice in the server investigation, if not for the server itself.
And then there’s this: “Barr is investigating Democrats. Democrats call for Barr to resign. According to Nadler, that’s obstruction of justice!”
[Sunday-afternoon update]
The Democrats are falsely accusing Barr of doing what Holder and Lynch actually did do for Obama.
Again, classic projection.
[Monday update at noon]
The fright of James Comey. And how the investigation was initiated by the FBI on false information.
I find it amusing, in light of how all these federal prosecutors are saying that Trump would have been indicted if he hadn’t been POTUS, Comey would have been indicted if he hadn’t been head of the FBI. And while Trump is still POTUS, Comey is no longer head of the FBI…
[Bumped]
[Tuesday-morning update]
Comey is in trouble, and he knows it.
Good. Or at least good about the first part. I’d actually prefer that he remain clueless.

Blue Moon
Bezos is supposed to make a major announcement today in DC (half an hour from now), but apparently it won’t be live streamed, and only a few select reporters have been invited. Reportedly, Mark Sirangelo, the new guy at NASA in charge of moon return, is present. Meanwhile, Emilee Speck follows the breadcrumbs.
[Update a few minutes later, but before the event]
Here’s a story from Ken Chang, at the NYT (though I would note that the OST does not explicitly forbid lunar property ownership).
[Update after the news conference]
OK, while many hadn’t heard it before, he started with his standard O’Neillian recitation of why he’s doing all this. The news (as expected) was the unveiling of a mock up of the Blue Moon lander, which he says can put 6.5 tons on the moon by 2024. He also announced a new LOX/LH engine for it, designated BE-7, capable of deep throttling. Tim Fernholz has the story.
Cholesterol
Everything we’ve been told about it and fat is wrong.
I quit listening to them years ago, but this is criminal.
