These fake dems will regret this and hopefully be replaced. Very disappointed in Ted Lieu and Eugene Vindman, and several other better-known democrats. When the best places to live on planet Earth, those “Nordic Model” mixed economies, are essentially socialist with all the things America does not have (universal healthcare, free tuition, high taxes onContinue reading “Cull Fake Democrats”

A Nuclear Free Earth
Space Review comment: A Nuclear Thermal Rocket, for fantastic expense, roughly doubles the Isp of chemical rockets…using a source of energy literally one million times more powerful. Stan Ulam, who is sometimes credited with being the real father of the hydrogen bomb, considered this problem and realized it is difficult just keeping a chemical rocketContinue reading “A Nuclear Free Earth”
Freedom is NOT Greed
“The only concrete proposal he provides is to get rid of billionaires—or, rather, their billions, suggesting that an individual’s net worth be capped at $500 million: “there’s no reason we as a society have to put up with the continued existence of billionaires,” who he argues help “fringe philosophies” thrive.” I have to absolutely andContinue reading “Freedom is NOT Greed”
SpaceNews 1
Mr Slippery8 hours ago All this pro-Isaacman commentary seems to ignore the fact that if he had been confirmed it would have been his job to carry out all of Trump’s massive cuts to NASA science.

Flood the Earth with information and the truth sinks to the bottom. Fiction is very cheap, no research, fact-checking. Truth is complicatedContinue reading “Solve The Right Problems”
A Limitarian Political Party
The only question in a democracy is how much a person gets to keep, which depends on how much the rest of us are empowered to keep other people from keeping everything. Wealth concentrates upward slowly but surely and eventually a small group of people own everything and everyone. This has been going on forContinue reading “A Limitarian Political Party”
Do You Believe?
The Kamala Harris speech was rousing…and took me back to a significant event in my life some years ago. She concluded with, “Do we believe in the promise of America…and are we ready to fight for it? And when we fight, we win! God bless you and God bless the United States of America.” IContinue reading “Do You Believe?”
Not My Last Comments
