Vice-President Harris issued her perfunctory tweet celebrating “World Press Freedom Day” on Monday and was promptly confronted by Edward Snowden. Here is the exchange in which Snowden exposes the pretender VP’s charlantry with respect to Julian Assange:

NASA recently issued a release titled, “Biden-Harris Administration Shows Strong Support for NASA in the First 100 days” According to the release,“In the first 100 days of the Biden-Harris administration, NASA has taken bold steps to expand America’s exploration and scientific frontiers advancing the nation’s commitment to build back better through innovation, combat climate change, reestablish America’s standing abroad, and inspire the next generation.”

At 6 a.m. (Wednesday) on the day when America would learn whether the current illegal occupant of the White House could successfully read an hour-long speech scripted for him, FBI agents executed a search warrant on President Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, apparently pursuant to an investigation conducted in the renegade federal Southern District of New York. The FBI seized Giuliani’s electronic devices. This should have sparked outrage and an immediate demand for investigation by Republicans, but the RINOs in Washington and on Fox were largely silent, leaving it to Tucker Carlson, once again, to attempt a defense of the Bill of Rights.

The way not to make the US once again a manufacturing superpower is the one chosen by all the well-meaning writers in American Compass and American Affairs Journal who propose to rely on special Federal programs to reintroduce advanced semiconductor manufacturing here, or, in the least-worst cases, to introduce “advanced manufacturing” more generally. We do indeed need government action to launch advanced semiconductor manufacture and advanced manufacturing--but it will never work as a boutique project. The reality is that we must mount a Herculean effort, as we did after Sputnik in 1957--and earlier to prepare for World War II--to transform the United States into a “full set” economy which can manufacture anything--because it manufactures everything.

Although there has been substantial coverage in the U.S. concerning President Vladimir Putin’s assertion of red lines not to be crossed, because of the information warfare being conducted by our government against its citizens, few in this country know the context for those statements.

As always, President Putin’s talk was that of a leader who familiarizes himself with all the conditions facing his citizens, and makes himself practically responsible for the welfare of the whole country and each of its citizens—as President Trump did, quite unlike any other twenty-first century American President.

There is no doubt Derek Chauvin committed a crime when he killed George Floyd and he deserves a just punishment for that crime. Anyone connected to the Internet or a cable television on the face of the earth has probably seen Chauvin’s killing of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. According to other complaints against Chauvin which were excluded from his trial, Chauvin had a history with questionable uses of force.

50 years behind schedule (better late than never) the United States is finally planning on putting a nuclear rocket in space. When paired with Trump's Artemis mission and the industrial development of the Moon, this represents the opening of a new era in the space age—the expansion of a new infrastructure "platform" integrating the physical-economic spacetime of the Earth-Moon system. 

With Ingenuity and Perseverance we can overcome all obstacles and reach new heights of discovery. Now 117 years after the Wright brothers succeeded in making the first powered flight on Earth, this week the Ingenuity Mars helicopter became the first to achieve powered flight on Mars. The airfield on Mars that Ingenuity launched its autonomous flight from has been named the Wright brothers field, "named in recognition of the ingenuity and innovation that continues to propel exploration." (Thomas Zurbuchen, Associate Administrator, NASA Science Mission Directorate)
