“They are full of envy. They penalize success and ingenuity. They are for the collective over the individual. They want no consequences to actions, nor do they understand why failure when taking risks is important. They like to rule from their ivory towers knowing full well anything that happens won’t affect them directly.
They hate freedom and capitalism. The US is the beacon of it and by every shred of evidence, it works pretty damn well. We have over 200 years of history that shows it works significantly better than any other place on earth or any form of government that has been tried since mankind walked the earth.”
With the upcoming launch today, Eric Berger writes that the surprise is not that it took so long, but that it happened at all.

Reading in the article about the “incident” at White Sands, I recall that I was sitting next to Chris Ferguson at an Apollo 49th-anniversary dinner at KSC a month or so afterward, and I said something like “I heard you had a little oopsie at WSMR.” He said, “You’re not supposed to know about that.” I’m sure that he wished that I (and others) didn’t know about that.
Politicians seem to be going out of their way to alienate and infuriate voters, pursuing unpopular policies at the very same time as they demonise and clamp down on debate. On climate, they have embraced a programme of national immiseration, to be borne on the backs of the working classes, who are expected to just accept being colder, poorer and less mobile. On immigration, they have thrown open the doors to migrants and refugees on an unprecedented scale, without seeking public consent and without ensuring proper provision for – or vetting of – those arriving. On culture, they have embraced a new form of racism under the banner of anti-racism, and a misogyny and homophobia posing as ‘trans inclusion’. Meanwhile, voters are beginning to realise that all those calls to censor ‘hate’ and ‘misinformation’ are calls to censor them.
Now to rid our own country of the similar horrible creatures that are currently running the Republic into the ground.
