MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: ‘Censorship is free speech’ is the establishment’s Orwellian line on Elon Musk’s Twitter crusade. “‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ is the motto of the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post. It may sound like a warning, but more and more it seems like a summary of the left’s aspirations to control debate and shut down any opposition.”
My editor especially liked the end.

ARTEMIS/SLS WEST DRESS REHEARSAL UPDATE:
Teams concluded today’s wet dress rehearsal test at approximately 5:10 p.m. EDT after observing a liquid hydrogen (LH2) leak on the tail service mast umbilical, which is located at the base of the mobile launcher and connects to the rocket’s core stage. The leak was discovered during liquid hydrogen loading operations and prevented the team from completing the test.
Before ending the test, teams also met test objectives for the interim cryogenic propulsion stage by chilling down the lines used to load propellant into the upper stage. They did not flow any propellant to the stage because of an issue with a helium check valve identified several days ago.
When teams paused propellant loading, the rocket’s core stage liquid oxygen tank was about 49% filled and the liquid hydrogen tank had been loaded to about 5% capacity prior to the hydrogen leak.
Teams are now working to drain propellant from the rocket. They will inspect the umbilical connection, review data, and establish a go-forward plan to address the hydrogen leak.
Not much of a rehearsal, really.

WHY IS THE LEFT SUCH A CESSPIT OF ABUSE? Democratic donor Ed Buck gets 30 years in prison for fetish deaths.
Even after two men were found dead in his California apartment, Ed Buck did not stop injecting gay men with walloping doses of methamphetamine.
A federal judge on Thursday sentenced him to 30 years in prison in the deaths of Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean. Another man, Dane Brown, was repeatedly injected by Buck but survived and his harrowing account of being revived twice finally led to Buck’s arrest in 2019.
Buck, 67, a big dollar donor to Democratic, LGBTQ and animal rights causes, appeared in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles for providing fatal doses of drugs, operating a drug den and enticing men to travel for prostitution. He was convicted last summer.

THE RNC JUST TOLD THE BIASED COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES TO SHOVE IT: “The [the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD)] has been plagued by accusations of left-wing bias for years. In 2012, debate moderator Candy Crowley infamously disputed Mitt Romney when he said that Barack Obama refused to call the Benghazi terrorist attack for two weeks. Crowley sided with Obama, claiming that he had, although Romney was indeed correct. The CPD has also faced accusations of personal conflict due to members’ close ties with Democrats. In 2016, several CPD board members had reportedly been Hillary Clinton donors.”

THE BANNINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES: Twitter Punishes Libs Of Tik Tok For Daring To Expose Radical Leftism.
Essentially, Twitter deemed it illegal to amplify what gender-bending, Trump-hating, racist, groomer leftists have already revealed about themselves online.
Since its beginnings in November 2020, the “Libs of Tik Tok” account has amassed more than 613,000 followers on Twitter and gained rapid popularity on other platforms such as Instagram for cross-posting TikTok wokeness.
The account features nightmarish videos, pictures, and even exclusive looks at the left-wing radicalism in schools and other institutions, which it refers to as coming from the “Depths of Hell.” From advertisements for genital mutilation to critical race theory to pornographic library books, “Libs of Tik Tok” documents how U.S. public schools have become a breeding ground for progressive ideology.

“Libs of Tik Tok” has been instrumental in helping parents understand the insane indoctrination occurring to their children every day, which is why Twitter wants to squash it under its authoritarian boot.
“[A] lot of parents are really getting awakened now. My account has been very influential on this, as well as other accounts and media outlets, in really showing parents what is going on in the schools that they otherwise wouldn’t know or realized. So I think that I do have a lot of hope for the future. And I think that we’re going to retake our school,” the “Libs of Tik Tok” creator told The Post Millenial last week. “…The average parent doesn’t want their six-year-old to be taught about pansexuals.”
Naturally, Twitter’s response is, “shut up.” Andrew Klavan’s evergreen video remains evergreen:

IT WAS POORLY STITCHED TO BEGIN WITH: The Brooklyn Subway Attack Just Unraveled the Gun Control Argument Presented in NYSRPA v. Bruen. “Honest, hard-working people were going about their day in Brooklyn, headed to work. Thanks to the intransigence of their local and state governments, these people were completely disarmed, left to the mercy of someone who’d planned his attack to do the most damage possible. ‘First responders’ were too late to do anything about the shooting. They always are.”
Actually, Biden himself referred to civilians who gave first aid as first responders, but of course failed to take the obvious next step.
HMM: Tesla’s Texas Charger Grant Applications Fail; It’s Bad For Texas But Reveals Tesla’s Super-Low Costs. “A Texas program which gives grants to install fast EV chargers, as long as they support non-Tesla TSLA cars got applications by Tesla. This was a first for Tesla in the USA, as their stations normally only charge Tesla cars. Also interesting is the amounts of the grants, which can cover 70% of the cost of the chargers, to a maximum of $150,000 per charger. Tesla’s applications ask for as little as $30,000 per charger, while most other applications are claiming the maximum $150,000 and perhaps cost even more.”
