WE WERE FED A FARRAGO OF LIES: Matt Taibbi: WMD, Part II: CIA “Cooked The Intelligence” To Hide That Russia Favored Clinton, Not Trump In 2016 “Russia didn’t fear Hillary Clinton. ‘It was a relationship they were comfortable with,’ some CIA analysts believed, but intelligence was suppressed. On the fall of the last great Russiagate myth.”
CONSEQUENCES ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE: Biden Staffer Who Mishandled China, Iran Secrets Retains High-Security Pentagon Job.

HOW’S THAT SPACE PROGRAM COMING ALONG? On This Day in Space History: Feb. 15, 2013: Meteor explodes over Chelyabinsk, Russia.
Flashback: when the asteroid comes. Stay away from windows: “Most of the injuries in Chelyabinsk occurred when the shock wave from the blast sent broken window glass flying into the faces of spectators.”

ED WHELAN: Blogging Levels the Playing Field: Refuting attacks on John Roberts before they gained traction. “As we saw last week, George W. Bush and his strategists drew from the defeat of Robert Bork’s Supreme Court nomination years earlier the general lesson that the White House needed to wage an intensive political campaign in support of its own Supreme Court nominees. I drew a particular additional lesson: the need to refute falsehoods about, and distortions of, a nominee’s record before they gained traction and became much more difficult to counter. And I perceived that the Internet provided a valuable new vehicle that was unavailable to Bork’s defenders.”
If only Roberts had been better.

I also recommend Nicholas Johnson’s Negroes and the Gun: The Black Tradition of Arms.
