NOT FAST ENOUGH OR HARD ENOUGH: The Establishment is Getting Crushed. “What seems to be going on is a universal dissatisfaction with how the ruling elite have been running things, and with good reason. Whether it is conservatives, liberals, or ‘moderates,’ the ruling elite has been committed to policies that have eroded the power of individuals and vastly increased the power of the state. Moreover, Western governments have made abundantly clear that their commitment has been to a form of transnationalism that has grown increasingly unpopular. As borders have opened up throughout the West, citizens have grown restless as crime has skyrocketed, economic growth has slowed, and national cultures have been diluted.”

WOEING: Now Boeing is Facing Criminal Charges. “As if Boeing didn’t already have enough problems, today the Department of Justice announced that they are criminally charging the company with fraud over Boeing’s response to the crashes of two of their 737 MAX jets in 2018 and 2019. What the DoJ is doing is offering the company a plea deal so they can avoid a trial and potentially larger penalties. The Justice Department is describing the offer as “nonnegotiable.” Boeing can either plead guilty and take the deal or be taken to trial. But as we’ll discuss in a moment, not everyone is happy with the proposed deal, and even if Boeing accepts the conditions, this still may not go through smoothly.”

It was supposed to be held in place in the test. The rocket was not complete without grid fins.
