We’ll see how long they can keep that up.
Hillary’s FBI Interview
Salon (of all places) has ten questions that could derail her political career (and possibly send her to Club Fed):
Unlike loyal Hillary supporters who view the marathon Benghazi hearings to be a badge of courage and countless prior scandals to be examples of exoneration, the FBI didn’t spend one year (investigating this email controversy) to give Clinton or her top aides parking tickets. They mean business, and lying to an FBI agent is a felony, so Hillary Clinton and her aides will be forced to tell the truth. The doublespeak involving convenience and retroactive classification won’t matter to seasoned FBI agents whose reputations are on the line; the entire country feels there’s a double-standard regarding this email controversy.
Because there is, of course. But much of the Democrat machine is in denial, and cannot imagine a world in which a Clinton would ever actually have to be accountable for their crimes.
[Update a while later]
Any one or more of these four laws should mean jail for Hillary and her top aides. Here‘s the linked article.
What The Elderly Think About Death
I wonder how much their attitude is colored by their health? It’s sad to lose friends, but if you’re in good shape, you can make new ones. I only know that, as far as I’m concerned right now, three score and ten is far too short.
Close Calls In Space
A nice poster from S&MA at JSC.

Our Kids Don’t Eat Organic
I agree, it’s largely a scam. I buy “organic” kale at Ralph’s, but only because, for some reason, it’s the only way they sell it, and it’s reasonably priced.
A “Home-Made Bottle Rocket”
Heard abut this on the local news this morning. My condolences to the young man’s friends and family, but this seems like a Darwin Award contestant.
Bernie And The Subway
This is pretty funny.
Honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve used the subway in New York, so I have no idea how access works, but I’m not pretending otherwise.
Rogue Immune Cells
Do they cause Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia?
It would be nice to find a common, fixable cause.
Trump’s Campaign Staff
Remember, he hires the best people.
Remember when Obama’s people claimed that he could manage the government because his campaign was being run so well? Well, Trump can’t even manage a campaign.
[Update mid-afternoon]
Why I’ve changed my mind on Trump:
I realized — like I was shot with a diamond bullet — that there is no “there” there. Trump has no ideas, no philosophy, and no governing principles. He is little more than a salesman selling himself. He is a hollow man, a stuffed man, headpiece filled with straw.
Not only doesn’t he know much, he doesn’t care to find out, which is much worse to my mind. Read this article from Spengler about how Trump doesn’t read. (“What I noticed immediately in my first visit was that there were no books,” says D’Antonio. “A huge palace and not a single book.”) If somebody like this were to run the foreign policy of the world’s most powerful country, it would be an unmitigated disaster. In a narcissistic fit, he may start World War III without a clue as to what to do after it begins. Only then will it dawn on him that not everything in the world is a transactional deal.
Once I realized this, other examples became evident. There are Trump’s extensive ties with top Democrats, like Senator Harry Reid and the Clinton family, as well as establishment Republican figures like Senator Mitch McConnell. There is also his (very recent) past support of left-wing causes, including illegal immigration. Most tastelessly, he has personally attacked conservatives who have been fighting the good fight for a lot longer than Donald Trump has, and with much fewer resources. Take his disgraceful feud with Michelle Malkin. Donald, Michelle was pulling her weight back when you were cutting checks to Anthony Weiner and employing illegal aliens.
A con man, a show man, and empty-headed buffoon.
Where Is Superman When We Need Him?
A bald supervillain threatens to destroy California.
Heh.
Pro tip to Jerry Brown: If something doesn’t make sense economically, it can’t possibly make sense morally or socially. It just destructive virtue signalling that wrecks lives (particularly those of young people).
