We went to a local space museum yesterday. Lots of fascinating stuff, and very impressive! For some reason I always get choked up at the occasional display. In this case it was one talking about the Berlin Wall and how it represented the rivalry between the US and USSR. Having been old enough to realize what was going on when it came down it just resonated with me.
As I walked through the remainder of the displays, it struck me (again) how utterly squandered the opportunities of our nation have been. If we had blown on space exploration but a fraction of what we (as the US only) has frittered away on the hobgoblins of 'diversity' and 'tolerance' and 'equality' and OMFG especially 'gobal warming/ climate change/ etc' then we would be, as of this writing, halfway to the nearest star system by now. Manned, not a drone!
So I spent the rest of my Labor Day morose and pissed.

Headlines note chaos ensues at the Kavenaugh hearings. Predictable. If its someone the xxx doesn't want then you can COUNT on them throwing a temper tantrum to try to derail it. Juvenile.

Hmmm... sales of muscle cars drop while sales of SUV's surge. People expecting to have a need for the SUV perhaps? I wonder what kind of need...?

Kaepernick, of noted NFL mediocrity, is the new face of Nike. Their ad reads 'believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.' Um, pardon? What has that used up has been sacrificed? Fame? Not if even I know his name. Fortune? I highly doubt he is doing this for Nike for free. Respect? Perhaps his own, and certainly mine, but there are legions of mindless, unthinking Borg out there that think he is Optimus Prime for fighting 'the Man'. Give me a break!

We must learn to think of ourselves as state citizens first, Americans second if we are to withstand the leviathan that is federal power and even attempt to prevent the bloodlust that will be brought upon us by its breakup and dissolution. H/T to Burning Platform.

It seems that Nike is already suffering a backlash at their attempt to suck up to the Borg. $4 billion so far by some estimates. Good. More, harder, faster!

Decline in productivity noticed over at LewRockwell and possible causes discussed. Ive been wondering about this off and on for some time. Of course, writing comments like this in between periods of work all day is an undeniable factor...

Binge watched Jack Ryan over the weekend. No noticeable SJW crap. Loved it, highly recommend it! Gonna be a long wait for season 2!

Bob Woodward, some has-been from the media, claims that Trump is crazy and off the rails. Guess what: dont care. He is still fighting you assholes and for that I thank and support him, regardless of his level of crazy. Try to remove him in any way short of legitimately winning in 2020 and prepare to be well and truly skull fucked.

Mind is starting to wander so I had better head out. More later.
