The Gender Warriors
They’re America’s new Puritans.
It’s worth noting that the American Left are in fact the ideological descendants of the people who originally populated New England from old England. It’s why Massachusetts and the northeast in general are such a blue region. The primary difference is merely what they’re puritanical about.
Did Obama Hack The Election?
What the Obama administration did may have been worse than Watergate (and unlike the allegations against Trump, there is actual evidence).
On Memorial Day
About twenty vets are committing suicide per day (if we’re to believe the VA). And want to know what single payer would look like? Look at the VA.
The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The Six-Day War
And the WaPo celebrates it by publishing “Palestinian” propaganda.

The Violent Left
They’re shocked that we’re starting to hate them back:
Cue the boring moralizing and sanctimonious whimpering of the femmy, bow-tied, submissive branch of conservatism whose obsolete members were shocked to find themselves left behind by the masses to whom these geeks’ sinecures were not the most important objective of the movement. This is where they sniff, “We’re better than that,” and one has to ask ,“Who’s we?” Because, by nature, people are not better than that. They are not designed to sit back and take it while they are abused, condescended to, and told by a classless ruling class that there are now two sets of rules and – guess what? –the old rules are only going to be enforced against them.
We don’t like the new rules – I’d sure prefer a society where no one was getting attacked, having walked through the ruins of a country that took that path – but we normals didn’t choose the new rules. The left did. It gave us Ferguson, Middlebury College, Berkeley, and “Punch a Nazi” – which, conveniently for the left, translates as “punch normals.” And many of us have had personal experiences with this New Hate – jobs lost, hassles, and worse. Some scumbags at an anti-Trump rally attacked my friend and horribly injured his dog. His freaking dog.
So when we start to adopt their rules, they’re shocked? Have they ever met human beings before? It’s not a surprise. It’s inevitable.
It won’t end well for them if they continue down this road, because we have the guns.
Matt Isakowitz
This is a huge loss to the space community. No word (yet) on how he died, but he was only twenty-nine or thirty years old. Some of us knew him since he was a kid. And my deepest condolences to Steve and his family. This has to be shattering to them.
[Tuesday-morning update]
Future leaders in space has set up a memorial fund. But I wonder if they have permission from the family?
[Update a few minutes later]
FWIW…
We've set up a fund in memory of Matthew Isakowitz at https://t.co/UfjyAG5ebq & are working with his family to inspire the next generation https://t.co/ZHK1XiEEzs

The Hayabusa Effect
…is real.
When I was a kid, I wanted a really fast car, and it would still be fun, but I’m not willing to put a lot of effort into getting one.

Haven’t been posting much because I’ve been at the Space Tech Expo in Pasadena all week. I’ll be back tomorrow. I have been tweeting, though.
