Why The Latest Blue Origin Flight Is So Annoying

1 week ago | hotair.com | David Strom

I am not one who gets all hot and bothered about the space tourism industry. I don't have the kind of money that would make a trip above the Kármán Line affordable, and if I were in the mood to admit it, I would be nervous about sitting atop a controlled explosion to get there. The idea of being up there is attractive, but the mechanics of getting there would freak me out.
'CNN Does Not Hate Our Country,' Honest!

1 week ago | hotair.com | David Strom

Well, these are words I never expected to hear on live TV, although it is nice to get a confirmation of the fact that CNN, at least as an organization, does not hate America. It must just be a lot of their reporters who do. Individually. Not as an organized group. Dana Bash has the ultimate one-liner for Americans.
Why Is the United States Dependent on China For Rare Earths?

1 week ago | hotair.com | David Strom

With a name like "rare earths" you would think that the metals in this category would be, you know, rare. They aren't, though. They are actually pretty abundant and are even more so, given that we don't use them in great quantity compared to other metals like copper, iron, or tin. What they are is difficult to refine in an environmentally sensitive manner.
We Are Talking Past Each Other Regarding Tariffs

1 week ago | hotair.com | David Strom

I'm going to gloss over all the criticism of Trump's tariffs from the left because, well, so few of the critiques are made in good faith. There are liberal free traders out there. Establishment economists who have consistent theories of how the economy works and actually believe what they say--yes, such people DO exist, even though they are no longer influential in their party--to whom I would listen and give respect in a one-on-one conversation.
Los Angeles: Building Permits in Fire Zone Issued at RECORD Pace!

1 week ago | hotair.com | David Strom

Remember the halcyon days after the Los Angeles fire--you know, the one started by arsonists armed with climate change propane torches and power lines kept in disrepair--when the governor of California and the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, promised that they would cut through all the red tape and get rebuilding going quickly. Good times. Good times indeed. Well, promises made, promises kept.
Archaeologists: Child Sacrifice Wasn't Violent

1 week ago | hotair.com | David Strom

What a find!We now know without doubt that the Teotihuacan culture, the "prehistoric heart" of what is now Mexico, was a thriving community dedicated to helping men ascend the spiritual ladder to become gods. How do we know? Archaeologists have discovered a temple where priests sacrificed children.
The Absurdities That We Are Told to Believe...

1 week ago | hotair.com | David Strom

If you read the Pravda Media--and, let's face it, it's pretty hard to escape while remaining a functioning and "informed" member of society--you could be forgiven for believing that America is becoming a fascist hellhole while our European neighbors are living in a society filled with freedom, social harmony, and economic prosperity.
Call It a 'Working Vacation'

1 week ago | hotair.com | David Strom

City Attorney Heather Ferbert, having been just elected, decided to create a $300,000/year job for her good buddy Jean Jordan, and then kissed her Bon Voyage as she set off for a four-month tour of the world in a luxury cruise ship. People taking a bit of time off before they start a new job is hardly unheard-of. So what? It's not like the job needed to be filled right away since it was invented out of thin air by Ferbert, presumably to funnel a few bucks to a friend.
Luigi Mangione Is Soooo Dreamy!

1 week ago | hotair.com | David Strom

Taylor Lorenz has, a number of times, claimed that she is not at all--not even a little bit, you know--saying that she wants people to go out and kill healthcare executives. This is, of course, complete horse manure. And I know that because she also calls Luigi Mangione a "morally good" man, that she felt "joy" when Brian Thompson was shot in the back on the streets of New York, and that she totally gets why so many women find Luigi so darn dreamy.
Sunday Smiles

Over the past 80 days, there has been so much winning for Republicans. Winning is good. Very good. Overconfidence, though, is bad. Very bad. And I worry that some people are getting way too confident, mistaking momentum for inevitability. "We have been winning" does not necessarily mean "We will continue to win in the future." Prior to Trump's victory in November, conservatives had been on a losing streak, barely holding our own.
