There's a Starman Waiting in the Sky

[More]

My first thought: I can't wait for it to rear-end somebody.

My second: What if ElonMusk is an evil billionaire who murdered someone and put their body in that suit so he could flout getting away with it in front of the entire world -- knowing that by the time it's discovered, he'll be long passed away...? (Presuming he hasn't uploaded himself...)

And hey, why isn't it a Starwoman...? 

Seriously now, watching the boosters land was a thrill.  It takes me back to the type of science fiction I grew up with.  And I still maintain there's no reason we shouldn't already have Space Station V and Moon Base Alpha but for a "progressive" agenda mission takeover.

Private initiative assuming more and more of a role -- and not just in space exploration and utilization -- will be the future, provided the collectivists don't blow it. The impressive technology of Falcon Heavy aside, that potential is  probably the biggest lesson to be learned here.

You'd think the guy would be a little less conflicted. Still, the "flamethrower" shows promise.

Some day, regular people will leave this world. When they do, they'll take their rights with them.

And they'll be individual rights.

There are two lessons to be learned from that:

Comments, if done right, can yield results.

And one person can make a difference.

If so, welcome home, Ms. Markle. But such a definitive conclusion from the amount of evidence cited suggests more than a touch of agenda...

Speaking of "Paleolithic Africans, from whom all humans descend," what does that claim do to who owns ultimate blame for all our social injustice woes?

Maybe Black Lives DON'T Matter

At least to BLM. It's curious there's not a word on their website, Facebook page and Twitter feed about Edwin Jackson being killed by a twice-deported drunken Guatemalan.

Didnb;t he take a knee? Regardless, I guess their Marxist string-pullers decided whose lives matter more.

Overseeress Francine Dash  tries to divert the issue to "drunk driving."

This is what that Opposite Day "progressive" "Faith in Indiana" apparatchik is making excuses for and enabling more of. I'd have to reach deep inside to find sympathy were she to experience comparable lifelong agony.

Meanwhile, desperately seeking relevance, John Cougar Melonballs takes a knee.

You know what's funny?

While they're glorifying Mary J. Bilge's "Bold feminist statement," look at what Who.is finds automatic similarity to:

They hide behind a proxy. Be even funnier if the real site owner weren't even black.

In reading the released memo, I, an Air Force veteran, who served in the Intelligence field against the former USSR, do declare and demand that those involved with the false allegations and lies to the FISA court, that pertains to the infamous, Democrat-funded anti-Trump dossier, to be charged with treason, and arrested without due delay under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, where any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution, “betrayal of allegiance to the United States”, as such an act(s) has been shown that such an act has been committed. Arrest without delay with Federal charges of "treason". [More]

Nothing will be done?

Yeah, thanks in large part to those who do nothing.

Contrary to Popular Opinion

[More]

The only reason I've got spots 1 and 5 right now is because of this.  But the problem is, my stuff is a niche within a niche, regularly "vanished" off the Google News feed  and, of course, never given a boost by Fairfaxians and their admittedly more popular and "pragmatic" cheerleaders.

It is what it is. I get it.

Still, I'm going to take a shameless self-promotion moment and repeat:

If you get value from a piece and think others may as well, please share the link.

Leave Right Now or Arm Yourself to the Teeth: Life in Caracas [More]

With a scrambled signal like this, Bloomberg News is seeming a bit bipolar these days.  Speaking of bipolar, I wonder what Shannon would say.

At least it's instructive to see with "The endless shows praising Maduro’s latest edicts [and] the 1970s music paying tribute to socialism" that  their approved media and ours are in sync.

Question: When the yoke is finally smashed and cast off, will those "blar[ing] state propaganda" be fair game for retribution?

Looks Good. Let's Kick the Tires.

Facebook colleague Andrew S sent me a video on Rep. Clay Higgins talking "Constitutional Judges." [Watch]

I didn't know much about him and found the following from his lawman days. I appreciate men who say what they mean in a way that will give "progressives" apoplexy:

He and GOA need to make determining his score a priority. And he should get together with Numbers USA without delay and work on those grades to show if they're a misunderstanding, a communications failure, or a disqualifier.

If I find that out I'll let you know.

Barry’s Marital Vow-Breaking Consistent with Her Oath-Breaking Hypocrisy on Guns

Why she should see disappointment in the faces of any little girls remains unexplained. Time was adults sheltered small children from salacious sexual details, but then again, we’re dealing with a “progressive.” Bringing that up though, along with talk of “forgiveness” and “regaining trust,” should resonate with the sob sister constituency. It should also divert attention from concerns about potential criminal conduct, questionable overtime, and solo trips with her lover — including seven days in Athens. [More]

And her primal "need" for a protective male also betrayed the tenets of "progressive feminism"...

We're the Only Ones Double-Dipping Enough

When Capt. Tia Morris turned 50, after about three decades in the Los Angeles Police Department, she became eligible to retire with nearly 90% of her salary. But like many cops and firefighters in her position, the decision to keep working was a financial no-brainer, thanks to a program that allowed her to nearly double her pay by keeping her salary while also collecting her pension.

What an indispensable community hero! That must be why she gets to carry a gun in L.A. and you don't.

Any bets on how she'd compare skill-wise?
