I was on the road most of today, so listened to the liftoff somewhere south of Chamberlain.
Kid just SMOKED a CNN reporter outside of Artemis II launch:
CNN: "Why do you want to be here?… Why do you love being a part of history?
Kid: "We're going back to the f*cking moon, that's why!" 🤣https://t.co/olarncM5jA

Godspeed to them all.
Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and it’s “a revealing look at the current state of affairs when a worker views an Iranian missile and an HMRC self assessment form as roughly equivalent threats to their well-being”.
Maxime Bernier- The horrific shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, is a national tragedy. It’s one of the deadliest massacres in Canadian history. Continue reading
…and It’s Kind Of Weird That Nobody Is Freaking Out?
I actually hadn’t twigged this properly until now. The last manned mission to orbit and land on the Moon was Apollo 17 in December 1972: Gene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, Ronald Evans.
To date, Cernan is the last human being to have walked on the Moon, on December 14th 1972 – when I was just over a year old.
So yes, this is huge. I reckon we should all be talking about this (yelling, in fact) – and applauding the astronauts who are about to travel further from home than almost any living human being…
“When violence becomes part of a political conversation”
I’ve never heard that term before. Dave Smith gives a good explanation.
“It’s like the top and the bottom against the middle. The middle live under tyranny, the top and bottom have essentially anarchy.”
This is personal to me because I’ve spent a substantial part of my life doing the jobs that Europeans would not do. From November 1988 to April 1991, with a multi-month tangent to the Persian Gulf War, I was part of NATO in what was then West Germany. It’s always great to have people tell me how important NATO is when I was part of it, and they weren’t, but let’s put that aside. I was there at the end of the Cold War. We were still doing things like having REFORGER exercises and going out on alerts at 3 a.m., where we would shiver in our assembly areas knowing that if the balloon really went up, our role was to die in place so the locals could continue to consume strudel and bitch about Ronald Reagan.

Christopher Landau is the US Deputy Secretary of State.
My recent trip to Brussels for the @NATO Ministerial meeting left me with one overriding impression: the US has long failed to address the glaring inconsistency between its relations with NATO and the EU. These are almost all the same countries in both organizations. When these…

A spirited discussion. Grab yourself a mid-strength beverage.
As Aaron Clarey would say “enjoy the decline”.
I had a one on one conversation with someone today who perfectly matches Adams description in the video below. This individual was a well educated professional, close to retirement age but still in very good shape both mentally and physically. He was convinced that the United States was on the verge of becoming Nazi Germany and in his opinion the sooner someone shot Trump the better. It is both fascinating and frightening to see this up close and in person.

Richard Grannon- Narcissistic Systems of Power Manipulate Emotions and Behaviour
This is powerful.
Democrats and the media are calling for unity. In the past, we’ve fallen for that trap. But this time the switch flipped, and our collective voice said: Go away. You didn’t ask for unity during the George Floyd riots. You never ask for unity when it’s your side. You demand only fealty.
Democrats and the media are calling for us to tone it down. Another trap we’ve fallen into. Not this time. This time our collective voice said: Go away. You never demand that your side tone down the rhetoric. It’s only ever us, and when we do, when the best of us seeks to have a civil dialogue with you, you publicly execute him to terrorize the rest of us.
Democrats and the media are desperate to emotionally blackmail us as we seek accountability for those who celebrate murder. Ah, yes, the old “muh principles” trap. Collectively, we say: Go away. We saw what you did to a nobody rodeo clown who wore an Obama mask. You destroyed his career and made every Republican lawmaker answer for him. Today, there are literally thousands and thousands of credentialed Democrats (teachers, lawyers, academics, health care professionals, etc.) inciting murder against us by celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder, and you’ve done nothing other than defend them.
