JOHN LUCAS: A Proposed Hamas Resolution: Hatred of America and Israel on Display.

SALLY KORNBLUTH NEEDS TO GO: MIT Leaders Assembled a Faculty Advisory Group on Campus Anti-Semitism. Then They Ignored It.

WELL, GOOD: U.S. missile-defense satellites headed for low-Earth orbit. “The U.S. military partnered with SpaceX to launch a half dozen missile-defense satellites into orbit Wednesday in an effort to protect the United States against hypersonic missile attacks.”

THE NEW SPACE RACE: SpaceX launches private lunar lander on eight-day journey to the moon.

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: The PRC Peacetime Island Hopping Continues: …who is paying who? “Remember all those island groups we had to fight through in WWII? The planet still looks the same and the importance of geography has not changed. Cleo Paskal posted on X a Letter from President of Palau, Surangel Whipps, Jr. about the huge problem we have because the USA has not passed Compacts of Free Association. From this seat, this obtuse strategic malpractice by DC is almost as if executed on behalf of the People’s Republic of China. Read the letter and then ponder what is going on in DC that we are giving this gift to the PRC.”

When you understand that much of our leadership is on the payroll it all makes sense.

CDR SALAMANDER: War in the West Pacific? Really? You & What PGM Inventory? “We’ve talked for years about our shallow magazines; filled via the unholy coupling of peacetime accountants and pliable war planners selling the 72-hour war & Deterrence by Punishment snake-oil. No one goes to opening day of dove season with only a half-dozen shells, and no one should plan for a Great Pacific War like we have.”

THERE ARE SO MANY: Border crisis now No. 1 reason people don’t like Biden.

TOOLS OF THE REGIME ARE EXEMPT FROM SCRUTINY:

BLM's PAC spent $0 on candidates and $0 on election activities in 2023, but it did spend 61% of its money on consulting fees that went directly to a company owned by its treasurer.

BLM was always a scam. So, when will it get 1% of the investigative attention Elon Musk gets for…

FOLLOW THE “SCIENCE.” When will Nature and NEJM tell me who to vote for? Scientific journals should continue to sacrifice trust to change ~0 votes.

This isn’t about impact on the elections, this is about editors betraying their trust to get positive strokes from their friends.
