THE NEW SPACE RACE: NASA’s Gateway space station Halo module moves closer to launch. “The Habitation and Logistics Outpost, or HALO, is one of four modules in which astronauts will live, conduct science and prepare for lunar surface missions.”

I’M SURE SOMETHING SIMILAR IS UNDERWAY HERE:

NAZIS WHO NEED PUNCHING: Masked anti-Israel protesters take over NYC subway car, tell ‘Zionists’ to raise their hands: ‘This is your chance to get out.’
What happened to all the Democrats who were volunteering to punch Nazis a few years back? Oh, right, they need Somali votes in swing states.

WHY SO MUCH ANTISEMITISM AT VANDERBILT? Vanderbilt multicultural council rejects pro-Israel student group.
A SMALL MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY: Students who invaded Stanford president’s office and injured cop slapped with felony charges. “Thirteen anti-Israel protesters who invaded and occupied Stanford University’s president’s office were charged with felonies by the school, with some being forbidden from graduating as a result.”
A WIN AGAINST THE MACHINE: Elon Musk says Tesla shareholders re-approved his pay package worth billions that a judge struck down. Tesla’s incorporation is going from Delaware to Texas, Delaware’s reputation for trustworthiness in matters of corporate law — cultivated over more than a century — is now trashed, and for what? So a Delaware judge can feel special for a bit Thus does woke politics operate.

CDR SALAMANDER: An Incredibly Dangerous Time to be an American. “Terrorists, pirates, and criminals are like all humans; they respond to incentives and disincentives. Like all predators, they are constantly taking a view of the environment, looking for opportunities that have changed, and responding accordingly. On the international stage, it is best to be both feared and respected by friends and foes alike; the second requires the first. Our national reputation suffered generational damage following the national disgrace in Kabul in the summer of 2021, and the same team that brought our nation to that humiliation are still in charge.”
If Kurt Schlichter’s The Attack comes true, a substantial portion of our leadership needs to be not simply fired, but strung up for treason.

INFLATION IS NOT “FUNCTIONALLY OVER” EXCEPT AS A PRESS TROPE. All those inflated prices haven’t returned to normal, they’re just growing more slowly for the most part.

JEWS HAVE BEEN THROWN UNDER THE BUS BY DEMOCRATS IN THE INTEREST OF GETTING VOTES FROM THE HATE-FILLED MUSLIMS THE DEMOCRATS IMPORTED: Protesters are harassing Jews every day in NYC, when will pols protect them?
Earlier this week, a protest in front of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street, which commemorates those slaughtered at a music festival in Israel during the October 7 attacks, waved Hezbollah and Hamas flags and a “Long live October 7th” banner, lit flares and chanted “long live the intifada.”
On Tuesday, a mob took over a New York City subway car and chanted, in a call and repeat fashion, “Raise your hands if you’re a Zionist. This is your chance to get out.”
Two nights ago, the homes of Brooklyn Museum’s director Anne Pasternak and several of the museum’s Jewish board members, were defaced with fake blood and a sign that accused Pasternak of being a “White-Supremacist Zionist.”
I’ve been writing in these pages about the growing antisemitism in New York for years.
But this is the worst it has ever been. It’s no longer random attacks, that could be blamed on the mentally unwell.
Nope. And it won’t stop until there are — severe — consequences.

Full article: Columbia Administrators Fire Off Hostile and Dismissive Text Messages, Vomit Emojis During Alumni Reunion Panel on Jewish Life. “Throughout the panel, which unfolded over nearly two hours, Chang-Kim was on her phone texting her colleagues about the proceedings—and they were replying to her in turn. As the panelists offered frank appraisals of the climate Jewish students have faced, Columbia’s top officials responded with mockery and vitriol, dismissing claims of anti-Semitism and suggesting, in Patashnick’s words, that Jewish figures on campus were exploiting the moment for ‘fundraising potential.’ The text messages, which were captured by an audience member sitting behind Chang-Kim who photographed the vice dean tapping away on her phone, also used vomit emojis to describe an op-ed about anti-Semitism by Columbia’s campus rabbi.”
OPEN THREAD: It’s everything they say, the end of a perfect day.
