We’ve lost a genius of comedy. He was literally a comedians’ comedian.
How to get Back To The Moon By 2024
Make it a one-way trip.
So, how much does that change requirements? It means no need for ascent on the lander, or entry from TEI. It’s probably a Falcon Heavy mission. We eliminate the initial need for a suit, too. Hardest part would be how to resupply without EVA capability.
Could NASA do it? Probably not, politically, but a private expedition could.
Trump And The Democrats
He has trolled them into madness. As Glenn notes, he’s driven them crazy, but they were already close enough to walk.
Tlaib’s Lies
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.

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

Thoughts from Treacher.

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.
