Roger Launius previously reviewed it at Quest, but he has a slightly different take at his blog, which he also posted at Amazon. I’m not unhappy with a four-star review, but I’m always interested in an explanation of why it’s not five, for future reference.
The IRS Scandal
Should Koskinen be impeached?
Yes. It’s really the only effective way to rein in executive tyranny. Even if the corrupt Democrats refuse to remove, as they did with Clinton, it’s still a useful method of discipline that is used far too seldom. And Gina McCarthy should get the treatment as well.
Blaming Guns For Orlando
…is like blaming Zyklon B gas for the Holocaust.
Yup. And the only real purpose of that stunt in the House yesterday was to divert attention from the fact that the massacre was committed by a Muslim member of the Democrat Party.
[Update a while later]

Trump Bashes Hillary

The only good thing about Trump as a candidate is that he’s not afraid to go after the media’s pet incompetent criminal.
A Time For Audacity
This is a timely new book
Top Space Influencers
I’d be more gratified by being in this stratosphere if I could see more things happening that I’m actually influencing. But maybe I’m being too impatient. I also wish that being an influencer paid better.
[Wednesday-morning update]
The most amusingly ironic thing about this is that I'm in an ongoing war on the phrase "space exploration." https://t.co/USEAb5wfRJ

Imposter Syndrome
How a graduate advisor undermined her student.
There are some serious problems with academia, and not just in the social sciences.
Women Of Color
Who at the White House sends them out to be humiliated on national television?
My guess would be woman of color Valerie Jarrett.
Blue Origin
Another successful flight, the fourth now. That oscillation on the drogues looks like it could make people sick, though.
Obama’s Science Advisor
Twelve questions about climate that he refuses to answer.
Because this actually has very little to do with actual science.
