ANN ALTHOUSE ON HOW “THE CURRENT THING’ APPEARS:
Once you’ve said “2015,” you’ve got your answer staring you in the face! Why don’t you see it? That was the year gay people won their great victory, a right to marry, in Obergefell v. Hodges. McArdle has “an orthodoxy… crystalliz[ing]” — as if a mysterious disembodied force emerged out of nothing — ex nihilo!
But real human beings were involved and their incentive to acquire a new cause is obvious. The activists had won, but they still needed to work, they still needed contributions, they still needed to push conventional people to move forward into challenging new territory. They couldn’t just allow people to become decently accepting and empathetic to the gay people who, after all, are human beings who sometimes love each other and want a home and a family. Remember that moment?
That made too much sense. Ordinary people relaxed. Got comfortable.
The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. And the grift, to the extent that those two are distinguishable.

I’ve always felt that the Moon made more sense because it’s closer, but going directly to Mars is doable, as Bob Zubrin demonstrated with his Mars Direct architecture back in the 1990s. But I think Elon has now decided that he can’t leave his rear area open to occupation by hostile forces.

JOSH BLACKMAN: Seven Pages Of Nixon Grand Jury Testimony Reveal The Real Threat Of the Deep State. Nixon’s enemies within his own administration were spying on and trying to subvert the elected President. “The biggest takeaway is that an Air Force officer, Yeoman Radford, who worked in the White House, was a mole. No, not for the Soviets, but for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He would routinely make copies of documents from Nixon administration officials and share them with people in the Pentagon. Radford would pilfer documents from Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig and make copies of them. . . . The purpose of this espionage was to check the incumbent president from taking actions that the deep state opposed. You have to read through a lot of background to get to this shocking takeaway. Here is the key excerpt, where Nixon reveals to the prosecutors about the deep state ‘can of worms’. . . . Do you see what happened? Nixon was fully aware that there was a deep state in his own administration. He employed the ‘Plumbers’ to plug those leaks. But he would only reveal the depth of the deep state before a secret grand jury investigation. The Watergate Prosecutors, who were part of the DOJ deep state, did not want Nixon to talk about the Pentagon deep state. And for five decades, this testimony was sealed, until Rosen reported on it.”

Until Friday evening, the effort by the Trump administration to engage in “mass removals” of illegal aliens — a Trump campaign promise — has suffered from two primary hampering factors: 1 ) limited bed space in detention facilities that created a bottleneck; and 2) a practice in place for nearly 30 years that illegal aliens arrested in the interior of the country were almost always released back to their lives while being given a Notice to Appear to initiate removal proceedings against them at some time in the future. . . .
The math said that nearly 1.2 million illegal aliens released on bond would not appear for their removal hearing before an immigration judge.
Late on Friday night, the Fifth Circuit’s 2-1 decision in a closely watched case held that the Trump Administration has the authority under the immigration statutes to detain — with no bond hearing required — any illegal aliens taken into ICE detention at any location in the country.
Stay tuned.
GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Atlanta Journal-Constitution to lay off about 50 employees as it restructures for growth. “The cuts represent about 15% of the AJC’s total workforce. Roughly half of the affected positions will come from the newsroom, which is the organization’s largest department. President and Publisher Andrew Morse said the decision follows several years of investment as the AJC transitioned from a traditional print newspaper into what it describes as a modern media company.”
So even after abandoning print, they’re having to slash. Here’s an idea how to restructure for growth: Tell people the truth about things they need and want to know. I know, crazy talk. . . .
