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.

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.

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.

The Left’s Ongoing War On Science

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.

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.

[Update Wednesday morning]

Mueller’s ten most egregious missteps.

[Friday-morning update]

The FBI’s Steele story falls apart.
