Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
Professor Rachel McKinnon — born as a man, competing in cycling as a woman — says it’s okay celebrate the death of David Koch, and other ‘trash humans’, including a woman who has brain cancer. Is scholar-athlete McKinnon the vanguard of the death march of Progressivism?
A prize-winning study of political psychology highlights people who have a need for chaos that drives them to spread misinformation (fake news) to create havoc for the political elites. Thomas B. Edsall in The New York Times says there’s a correlation between the need for chaos, and Trump supporters, as well as Bernie Sanders supporters…but not Hillary Clinton backers.
A Colorado teen gets suspended from school and investigated for posting a pic of his gun on social media, and expressing his joy about a trip to the range with Mom. Is there anyway to escape from the media’s gun panic? Do we have two Americas — one where impressive firearms are admired, and the other where every trigger triggers hysteria?

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam agrees to withdraw the extradition bill that drove massive crowds to the streets for the past three months, but the protesters almost immediately say she concedes too little, too late. They have four more demands and a commitment to hang in there until they get them.
President Trump Tweet-Trolls the Iranian regime using a satellite photo of a “catastrophic accident” involving its Safir SLV missile at Semnan Launch Site One. The American Left goes ballistic, accusing Trump of leaking the classified image.
Test driving my new camera, I decided to sit down for a few minutes — with no script and no premeditation — and not talk about news. #OTTFAIL
Despite President Trump’s punitive tariffs on Chinese imports to the U.S., American businesses seem bullish on China, with profits up, and few interested in moving manufacturing out of the People’s Republic. But Bill Whittle sees trouble down the road for China’s long-running economic surge.

Breaking with tradition, the men of Right Angle start the backstage meeting with a question from a viewer. From an off-topic question, the production meeting veers even further off topic.
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee launch probe into allegations that President Trump violated campaign finance law with 2016 hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, both of whom alleged affairs with the Donald J. Trump. Will this Democrat effort succeed where the Russia collusion case failed? Can it lay the groundwork for impeaching Trump before, or after, the 2020 election?
Democratic-Socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says he’ll stop greedy fat cats from buying, merging, and closing news outlets. The Columbia Journalism Review gives spaces to this “Bernie saves journalism” plan. Would the truth get out more under President Bernie Sanders, or is he merely disturbed that the Democratic party’s PR firm shrinks as the Internet continues killing newspapers?
Sen. Elizabeth Warren dances a two-step to win the party nomination as she woos Progressives in the revolutionary style of Bernie Sanders, and comforts the rank-and-file faithful Democrats like Joe Biden does. Is she a political master, or merely setting herself up for President Trump’s charges that she’s two-faced, unstable, dishonest…in other words — a politician!
A metal asteroid worth $10,000 quadrillion, hurtling through space, makes construction of a massive orbital space station substantially cheaper. At least one company is already pitching a plan for a Von Braun Gateway Station housing some 1,500 people in orbit. The resources on the single asteroid, 16 Psyche, is not only enough to build the station, but to wipe out the U.S. national debt thousands of times over.
Former FBI Director James Comey gets busted by a new Inspector General report from the Justice Department, for taking home classified documents related to President Trump. The report says Comey knowingly violated FBI rules and his employment agreement, setting a bad example for 35,000 Bureau staffers. So far, no criminal charges. Bill Whittle says this story is much worse than it looks.
China expands its system of tracking a citizen’s behavior with a social credit score, and limiting his freedoms if it goes negative. Your neighbor reports you smoking a cigarette at your house, and when you try to fly to Hong Kong the flight attendant says, your score is too low, get off the plane. Is this just a dystopian nightmare spawned by communism, or could measures taken by American companies to nudge consumer behavior lead to such a scenario in the land of the free?
