[I have a nephew engineer who works at SpaceX. Now in a weird way we have a connection in that I've worked at 2 NASA locations (Clear Lake City and GSFC) as an IT contractor. We have not discussed his work, and I've been publicly critical of CEO Elon Musk as a crony capitalist in my blog and on Twitter. (I don't even think I've discussed it directly with him; I don't even know if he is aware of my opinion.
The context of the following comment is his proud dad, my brother-in-law, frequently posts on the latest successful SpaceX mission. His latest NASA/SpaceX joint mission success came with a jingoist chant 'USA #1! USA #1!' I think in my salad days I might have joined in. These days my eyes roll, and I wrote the following:]
What's impressive is what the private market can do--faster, cheaper, better, more efficiently--without government interference.
I've never shopped at Costco, and their mask policy is unreasonable. Don't get me started on the legality of the People's Republic of California's hypocritical dictator's mandates. Conventional masks do next to nothing to stop bioaerosols. Mr. Schroeder is not infected.

"Costco"
Hell, no. Church/state independence is guaranteed by our Constitution. Churches are considered (not for profit) charities. But all clergy income is subject to income taxes. What Osteen does with his after-tax income is none of your damn business. Envy is a vice, not a virtue.

What kind of stupidity is this? Dude, there was no one from Wall Street giving lawmakers stock tips. The market was richly valued before the correction. It's not like he knew those economically illiterate Dem governors would crash state economies.

Why should I be surprised that a descendant of the British crown takes a dim view of American rights? British royalty have been irrelevant since George III.

The West Coast left-fascists refuse to follow the science. Costco nationally is no longer mandating mask usage. It's the fascist government of the People's Republic of California or local governance violating the rights of residents.https://t.co/yiR1Wn51Bn

"Scott Baio"
We don't need the dubiously constitutional rubbish of campaign finance laws to explain an incumbent's likely reelection. It's like Dems have already forgotten how Bloomberg's wealth helped him in last year's Democratic primary.

"Susan Collins"
Trump has a history of throwing people under the bus. He didn't put his company into bankruptcy; he was the victim of loan sharks. He wants all the power but none of the responsibility.

The Democrats are spending nextgen's money to protect themselves from nextgen's wrath.

"1.9 Billion"
This project is academic rubbish. I'm sure some "progressive" university finds value in rubbish and will hire her. Ask me how many fellow conservatives I met in academia. I left academia before ever going up for tenure, but at least I didn't publish rubbish.

You might think the terrorist supporters on Twitter might acknowledge their hypocrisy over attacks on Israelis.

"Fox News' Geraldo Rivera says US is 'complicit in an ongoing crime against humanity' for supplying 'many of the weapons Israel is using to kill Palestinian civilians"
This is beyond typical left-fascist bullshit. It's disingenuous partisan rubbish. Fascist Dotard-in-Chief Biden is redefining "infrastructure" to justify a multi-trillion boondoggle, spending nextgen tax dollars for political corruption.

This tweet is nothing short of left-partisan grandstanding. The last I heard there have been over 400 charged with federal crimes over Jan. 6 events. I don't see the need for a commission.https://t.co/ehkHRT6Mqk

"Mar-a-Lago"
Some left-fascists are still rerunning those slimy ads portraying Ryan as dumping grandma over the cliff on senior entitlement reform. At the same time, they accuse him of being a Trump loyalist as a Fox board member. Apparently Ryan didn't get the memo on Kinzinger

"Paul Ryan"
Hell no. That money should go to paying down the deficit/debt and/or the overburdened taxpayer, not to morally hazardous, counterproductive, ineffectual, politically corrupt social welfare.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) May 22, 2021
Space aliens don't need to destroy the US. Biden and his corrupt political allies don't need any help in doing that. They are putting generation next in chains over politically corrupt, obscene overspending and overregulation.

I wonder if you spend as much time listening to lunatic leftists like Comrade Bernie and AOC.

So the Trumpkin running against Liz Cheney's reelection once got a 14-year-old girl pregnant? How the hell did "family values" Republicans vote Trump and his protégé into office in the first place? How will Cheney ever defeat a pig for reelection?

It has become politically incorrect to make any comparison to the Holocaust (unless you are progressive). Greene is an idiot; don't give her the attention she's looking for. Conventional masking has always been bad public policy, ineffective against bioaerosols.

Well, travel for Congressmen has been a risk factor for infection. And anyone not protecting himself by vaccine is risking his health and life. But Pelosi's unconstitutional violations of members' rights "for their own good" is un-American. https://t.co/QIMeFPJHEH
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) May 23, 2021
The issue is that Naziism/fascism subordinated individual rights to the State. The Kabuki dance of mask wearing has more to do with the arbitrary exercise of State power over individual rights than the science of bioaerosols.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) May 23, 2021
Remember Niemöller's "First they came..."? Ignore Greene's inarticulate provocative rubbish. The issue has been American indifference to the violations of their liberties under the political exploitation of the pandemic for the State.

Apparently Rand Paul is not aware of the fact some COVID-19 reinfections occur, although relatively rare (less than 1%). There's a lot we don't know about the nature, extent, and duration of related protection and ability to respond to variants. https://t.co/YIp4yGExzF https://t.co/ETtr8vZSgK

Thank God Notre Dame will not award Catholic-in-Name-Only Biden an honorary gold. Biden sold out the Church's unambiguous, consistent rejection of elective abortion since the Didache for 30 pieces of political silver. https://t.co/bYh0Iib2YT

Well, Greene is an idiot, but I love her ability to yank leftists' chains. Still, it takes chutzpah to single out Greene for her insensitivity on the Holocaust when you have anti-Israeli lunatics like Ilhan Omar on the Dem side of the ledger.

"Majorie Taylor Greene"
It's amusing to see Schumer post a picture of himself unmasked and not practicing social distancing while the next tweet in the thread is a leftist demanding Rand Paul, who had COVID and is naturally immune, being expelled for no vaccine. https://t.co/B7g2gaI0TW

Let's be clear: Blunt is playing politics in opposing the Jan 6 commission, but the Democrats are playing politics in pushing it. Funny the Dems don't back an investigation of the post-Floyd riots. Over 400 participants have been charged by the Justice Department.

One of the perverse qualities leftists admire in Joe Biden: his alleged "work ethic". Imposing the imperial Presidency is a crime; the lust for power over liberty is a vice, not a virtue. The market, not a political whore, satisfies the public's wants and needs.

If you think Jan. 6 was a "coup", it was the sorriest excuse of one in world history with Trump's own VP ratifying Biden's election. The National Guard offered assistance to the Capitol Police before Jan 6. https://t.co/2LUSRick6N
Well, Tuberville has worded his objection ineptly. The partisan nature of the commission has to do with the scope of the commission, not its membership. The GOP also wanted broader context including post-Floyd urban unrest. https://t.co/IqzkZ2Bl5K
