Mamdani’s “free” grocery stores either reveals him to be a counter-agent to reveal the sheer idiocy of Marxist thought, or far more likely, a spoiled rich-kid true-believer that’ll ride New York down like Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove. And they actually VOTED for this!

Low IQ people never seem to transition to adulthood. Always the limbic response to stimulation, chimpanzee-like. Children in mature bodies. Hence the popular saying “to chimp-out”.

I think Marco Rubio has really found his groove. He is brilliant, clear, and concise. It’s been said that some men are born to greatness, others are thrust into it.

The NASA Artemis program follows the Werner Von Braun method of throwing away expensive hardware to get a relatively small mass to the Moon. SpaceX rejects this, preferring to save/recycle proven hardware. I daresay this is the way to go for the future.

You might ask, “Why is re-entry speed so high?” Understand the vehicle has escaped Earth gravity, once leaving lunar orbit on the way back, as it enters the Earth’s gravity, it’s a runaway truck at the top of a mountain pass with no brakes. 25,000 mph at the bottom.

All you small-engine DIYers out there, you need to watch this YouTuber James Condon. Fuckin’ magician at diagnosing/fixing generators, snowblowers, any small engine. Very entertaining on-going patient commentary. I’m learning a lot.

Best way (by default) out of this 14th amendment morass is, both parents must be American citizens, or green-card holders. Solved.

Chuck U Schumer has to be the most egregious, execrable lying politico in my life’s experience. Apparently he runs unopposed, which explains a lot.

Did it ever occur to you America could obliterate Iran with one SSBN sub-surface ballistic nuclear submarine? Do you think if the mullahs had that capability they wouldn’t use it? There’s the difference between civilization and savagery.

The belief in aliens visiting Earth a cute collective insanity. Understand the physics.

Ok, Strait of Hormuz. It’s a dead end. The Red Sea at least ends at the Suez Canal. Can someone explain to me why Hormuz is important? I’m not getting it.

Iran’s brutal Islamic regime survives only by the US deference to its innocent civilian population, held hostage by the 7th century mullocracy. High time we stepped in, free them from that which they cannot free themselves.

AOC yet again demonstrates her abysmal ignorance. Spanish Vaqueros were cowboys. Horses, along with camels, vacated North America over the Bering land bridge after having evolved here from the Miocene epoch. 1514 horses re-imported via Spanish conquistadores. Inevitably some escaped. Vance has history right. The iconic symbols, beavers and bison, traveled the opposite direction over the land bridge, relative newcomers to America.

The first zero-g sex scene will be amazing, not least in its comical “docking maneuvers”.

2001: A Space Odyssey nit: when Floyd is being shuttled out to the Tycho Magnetic Anomaly (TMA-1) site, the shuttle appears to just float over the surface. Moon has gravity, 1/6 Earth gee, so it would have to be constantly down-thrusting, which we don’t see.

I’ve noticed the biggest asshole pervert in any movie is named “Percy”.

Artemis II, what happened to Artemis I? The sacrifice of human lives to process and procedure for goals already accomplished I find unnecessary. But bureaucracy must be served, eh? A calcified risk-averse sclerotic gov org like NASA our way out? No. Elon is our way through.

I, for one among many others, am gratified America is finally flexing the muscles she’s always had. Moving away from the flaccid “we need to be fair” limp-wristed policies of the Bush years to the total capitulation to the “international opinion” of Obama. America has never been safer. ‘Bout damn time.
