Greg Abbott wants it in Houston.
Of course he does. Let’s put the HQ of one of the services in a place that gets slammed by hurricanes and floods on a semi-regular basis.
Vandenberg would be a good location, other than earthquakes, but Colorado Springs, the current home of Space Command, is probably best, both in terms of centrality and low risk of natural disasters (other than fire). It could even share the service academy with the Air Force.
The collapse is near.
Via Stephen Green, who writes: “We’re watching the last chapter of Atlas Shrugged play out in Venezuela in realtime.”
Yes, it was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a how-to manual.

Trump’s biggest challenge: Educating the kids on socialism. We shouldn’t have to do this, but the schools clearly haven’t. And unfortunately, that’s no accident.

Is there a database doctor in the house? I’m trying to do a new installation. I created the database, follow all the instruction, but when I start to install WordPress, it creates a database structure, with no tables, then kicks out a bunch of errors for each table it didn’t create.

This seems a little weird to me. I’ve never done it in a car, and if I did, it would have only been because it was the only place available (which was in fact the case for many teenagers in the mid-20th century). I also don’t get the “in a body of water” thing.
Democrat presidents have behaved much worse than Trump. Yes.
The bullies are running it. And ruining it. We’d been thinking of retiring there, but we’re rethinking that now.
