Earlier today after I made my coffee I noticed we were a little low on milk. So I timed my grocery store run to a point in the day I figured the local HEB would be less crowded, and I went for it. The store was well-stocked, everyone was friendly and observing distance and mask requirements, and I got what I needed and got home. But what if I couldn’t do that? Today I’d have had coffee black, which isn’t a huge deal, but in a few days I’d have less and less to eat for myself and my family. A hungry writer is an unhappy writer.Now multiply that unhappiness across the entire country.What if...…Earlier today after I made my coffee I noticed we were a little low on milk.

I spent eight years working on NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.I never once saw anything like this.NASA just sent employees an email seeking volunteers to help staff facilities for unaccompanied migrant children, per internal email provided to me:— Ken Klippenstein (@kenklippenstein)Now, I wasn’t a federal employee. Most of NASA isn’t. NASA has a big name but it’s a tiny agency and most of it is contractors. The federal employees manage those contractors and the agency’s programs.

Defense.gov, the Pentagon’s official news and information portal, appears to have been taken over by clickbait connoisseurs.

Why Kirby felt the need to spend time in his opening remarks in the off-camera press briefing engaging in a political give-and-take is not explained. It’s evidently a core...…Defense.gov, the Pentagon’s official news and information portal, appears to have been taken over by clickbait connoisseurs.

George Orwell’s Animal Farm gave us the useful phrase “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” That book was written as an allegorical warning against communism, but since COVID-19 struck, Democrats tend to use it as a how-to.The latest case in point is Austin Mayor Steve Adler. Back in November, he told Austin to stay home to stay safe. But he wasn’t at home at all when he said this.Adler literally lives in a penthouse from which he can survey his domain. From that penthouse, far removed from the streets, he has allowed all manner of horrors to inflict the...…George Orwell’s Animal Farm gave us the useful phrase “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” That book was written as an allegorical warning against communism, but since COVID-19 struck, Democrats tend to use it as a how-to.The latest case in point is Austin Mayor Steve Adler.
