{LINK FIXED} PROFESSOR EMERITUS STUART HURLBERT UNDER SIEGE AT SDSU: It takes real vindictiveness to try to take away a professor’s emeritus status. But that’s just the kind of thing they do these days at San Diego State University.
If you have time and the inclination, you can leave a message of support for Stuart on the NAS website. He is a great soul who deserves to be treated like the scholar he is. Or you can write SDSU President Adela de la Torre here.
WHO? BidenWatch for July 20, 2020. “Malarkey poll numbers, the basement campaign continues, and more Green New Peal pandering.”

“My name is Lilith Sinclair, I’m an Afro-Indigenous non-binary local organizer here in Portland, organizing for the abolition of not just the militarized police state but also the United States as we know it,” Sinclair declares in a brief video that went viral on Twitter. She also called Portland “stolen land,” proceeding to give Native Americans a “land acknowledgment.” By the way, she also identifies herself as a “sex worker,” i.e. a prostitute.
By “Afro-Indigenous,” Sinclair likely means she has black and Native American ancestors. By “non-binary,” she insists that she does not fall into the binary understanding of biological sex as male or female. In an interview with the Portland Mercury last month, Sinclair argued that Americans have to deconstruct the “colonized thought” that white oppressors supposedly foisted upon racial minorities.
These really are Heinlein’s Crazy Years — we just live in them.
COMBATANT CRAFT IN THE MED: Two USN combatant craft medium (CCM) operate in the Mediterranean Sea near the amphibious transport dock ship USS New York. Photo taken June 18, 2020. From June 2019, a Naval Special Boat Team CCM conducts a patrol during a U.S. Special Operations Command multi-nation exercise in the Black Sea. The second photo shows the boat from a side angle. From February 2019, an article discussing the Navy’s renewed interest in coastal patrol boats and small combat craft. Here’s a photo of a Cyclone-class coastal patrol boat, the USS Thunderbolt. It is really a small warship, huge in comparison to the CCM.
UPDATE: Second link fixed. Thanks.
ROGER SIMON: Trump Has Already Won the 2020 Election.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE. MOVE ALONG. Disgraced Democrat Sprung From Prison Without Explanation. “Those of you who have been following political corruption stories for a while will likely recall the tale of former Pennsylvania Congressman Chaka Fattah. It’s been a while since his name has been in the news. In fact, the last time I wrote about him was back in December of 2016 when he was sentenced to the longest stretch in prison of any member of Congress in the history of the country. Fattah was given a ten-year sentence for stealing millions of dollars in both taxpayer money and funds designated for charitable causes. He was only halfway through his time in the crowbar motel, but this week he was quietly released from the slammer with no explanation being given for this generous maneuver by the federal Bureau of Prisons.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Fewer Lies and More Honesty Would Be Helpful in the COVID-19 Conversation. “I’m so old I remember when it was a good thing to have a healthy and inherent lack of trust for government officials. Now we are supposed to be worshiping at the Altar of Fauci and not asking any questions lest we be accused of wanting to create a wholesale COVID slaughter.”
WHEN THE POLICE DON’T INTERFERE WITH THE THUGS, IT MEANS THEY’RE ON THE SAME SIDE: Michelle Malkin beaten by BLM thugs and prevented from speaking at Denver pro-police rally. “Malkin was understandably distraught at this unanticipated violent turn of events and expressed frustration that Denver police, who were visibly present in the area, did nothing to stop the attacks or to allow the peaceful pro-police rally to continue.”
In 2020 Blue America, the police won’t protect you even when you stage a pro-police rally. Bear that in mind, and act accordingly.
DECOUPLING: Rare Earth Processing Plant Opens in Colorado.
The pilot plant is a joint venture between USA Rare Earth and Texas Mineral Resources Corp. The two companies previously funded a project on Round Top mountain in Hudspeth County, Texas, which features 16 of the 17 rare earth elements.
“Our objective is to set up a domestic U.S. supply chain without the materials ever leaving the United States,” said Pini Althaus, CEO of USA Rare Earth.
The elements are necessary for the creation of a number of weapons systems including the Lockheed Martin-made F-35 joint strike fighter, Tomahawk cruise missiles and other munitions.
I’m pleasantly surprised that the Democrat-dominated state government allowed this to go forward.
