I'd seen a million photos and a hundred illustrations, and movies like Destination Moon, but this was somehow real for the first time. #Moon schaute die Milchstraße gegenüber an und war dabei schaurig schön!😄 pic.twitter.com/uoTA4RW6ex— Anjuschka Prenzel (@lakazel) June 5, 2025After images like this, I was prepared for it to be mountainous, rocky — not a lot like it turned out.

The Big Beautiful Bill continues to be confusing, and, frankly, I think it’s become confusing because a whole lot of people think it being confusing is to their advantage. So let’s try to drill down into the details and try to sort out the facts. Now, Stephen Miller has tweeted an explanation a couple of times, apparently to little avail, but let’s look at it again, and work out the details. I’ve seen a few claims making the rounds on the Big Beautiful Bill that require correction.

by Charlie Martin, PJ Media:If you’re a person of a certain age — which increasingly seems to mean “older than dirt” — you may remember a Broadway show and movie called “Bye Bye Birdie,” a thoroughly fictionalized account of the fuss around Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army. (He went, by the way. Served his whole hitch. My ROTC sergeant in high school was his platoon sergeant.

If you’re a person of a certain age — which increasingly seems to mean “older than dirt” — you may remember a Broadway show and movie called “Bye Bye Birdie,” a thoroughly fictionalized account of the fuss around Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army. (He went, by the way. Served his whole hitch. My ROTC sergeant in high school was his platoon sergeant. Spoke very highly of him.) In the show, Elvis’s fictional counterpart is a rock-and-roll star named Conrad Birdie.

There's been a whole lot of agita from the right-hand side about the "reconciliation bill" — the Big Beautiful Bill — that passed the House a few days ago. A lot of it is based on the CBO scoring the bill as costing $4 trillion dollars in revenue. And why does the CBO think that? Because the CBO thinks the government is entitled to all the lovely tax money that would come in when the tax cuts from Trump's first term expire. But the BBB went and extended the tax cuts. Those rats.
