LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY: Another Day, Another Exoplanet, and Scientists Just Can’t Keep Up. This is actually big. We used to think we’d have to visit other stars just to find out if they had planets. Now, whenever we’re able, we’ll have a pretty good sense of where to go first. Meanwhile, let’s get going on that Mannschenn drive!

SPENGLER: I Accuse the Leadership of the Democratic Party of Responsibility for Violence Against Jews. “Violence against Jews now accounts for 58% of all crimes of religious hatred reported to the FBI. It isn’t just the Jersey City massacre: Violence against Jews by blacks is now endemic in Hasidic neighborhoods in Brooklyn. This is the direct result of anti-Semitic agitation by hatemongers like Louis Farrakhan. The Democratic Party tolerates congressmen in its ranks with public ties to Farrakhan. When Farrakhan calls for the murder of Jews, and black political leaders propitiate this foul demagogue, deranged fringe elements will turn violent. . . . I accuse the leadership of the Democratic Party of responsibility for the murders of my brethren in Jersey City. It is a howling disgrace that Rep. Keith Ellison is Deputy Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Where are the demands that elected officials and party leaders repudiate Farrakhan?”

Earlier: Eco madness may be reason for disastrous Boeing 737 MAX safety issues. “No one has said it explicitly yet, but this relentless pressure to reduce emissions appears to have been a significant factor in the disastrous safety failures of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, which resulted in two fatal crashes in the past year, claiming 346 lives.”

Related: How the rich and famous profess sympathy for left-wing sociopaths:

The new chief law-enforcement official in San Francisco isn’t particularly concerned with enforcing the law. Chesa Boudin, the city’s recently elected district attorney, campaigned to end prosecution of “quality-of-life crimes” like “public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc.”

San Franciscans are about to get a small taste of what Venezuelans have been suffering for two decades. And not only due to the increased public squalor that will be a direct result of Boudin’s opposition to policing. The Yale-educated Rhodes scholar once worked as a translator and advisor to that benighted land’s late president-for-life, Hugo Chavez. A decade ago, after Chavez abolished term limits, Boudin cheered. According to San Francisco’s future DA, the man who did more to destroy democracy in Venezuela than anyone established the “first participatory democracy I have ever seen.”

Singing the praises and whitewashing the crimes of leftist authoritarians runs in the Boudin family: Chesa is the son of two Weathermen terrorists who took part in a 1981 robbery that killed three people in Nyack, NY; he was raised by another pair of radical left-wing terrorists after his birth parents went to prison, and his grandfather was Fidel Castro’s lawyer.

As if San Franciscans aren’t getting it “good and hard,” as Mencken would say, already.
