THE NEW SPACE RACE: FAA grounds SpaceX’s Starship V3 megarocket after Flight 12 ‘mishap.’

This sort of thing is routine but it’s also funny: Any “mishap” that the FAA notices, SpaceX notices, and would be working to fix it anyway.

THE RARE MIRACLE OF ORDER:

We live in a world of daily miracles: Walk up to an automated teller machine almost anywhere in the world, insert a card, type four digits, and a small mechanism dispenses cash that you are entitled to draw against an account managed by a bank you have never visited, operating under a legal framework you have never read, denominated in a currency issued by a central authority you have never met. We are so used to such comforts that we simply regard them as background infrastructure that exists without ever really thinking about it. Personally, I consider every trip to the supermarket as a veritable miracle. No matter the time or season, I get fresh fruit and vegetables, and all of it for a comparably small fraction of my salary.

Boris Yeltsin considered a Houston Texas supermarket a veritable miracle as well; when he visited one in 1989, he knew the Soviet Union had lost the Cold War: When Boris Yeltsin went grocery shopping in Clear Lake.

POTUS 47: Trump in Iran leaders’ ‘head’: Retired US general.

Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg said on Wednesday that President Trump was in the heads of Iranian theocratic rulers, arguing that the fractured state of Tehran’s inner circle was the Trump administration’s biggest obstacle to finalizing a peace deal.

“I think the president’s in their head. They know it. They’re on the losing side right now,” Kellogg, who served as Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine until January, told Fox News hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino on “America’s Newsroom.”

WAPO implies that there’s a problem with Americans “scrutinizing his every move,” but the real problem is that New York voters didn’t.

Either that, or they did — and approved.

TRUMP, HOUSE GOPERS NEW APPROACH TO WASTE, FRAUD: The President and a couple of GOP House Committee Chairmen are implementing a new approach to fighting waste, fraud and abuse. We can only wonder how much better the federal government’s financial health would be had this approach been tried decades ago.

SHARKS GOTTA SWIM, BATS GOTTA FLY: Maryland Governor Wes Moore Signs GLOCK Ban Bill Into Law.

Maryland becomes the second state to enact such a gun ban after California. For now at least, existing owners can keep their firearms. Violations carry fines up to $5,000 and up to three years in prison. Anticipating the all-too-predictable move by Governor Moore, the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition have already filed a lawsuit challenging the law.

GLOCKs are among America’s most common pistols due to their simplicity, durability, and widespread adoption by civilians and law enforcement. Critics of the ban call it symbolism intended to burden lawful gun owners while being ignored by criminals. It’s akin to locking up shampoo and deodorant in stores instead of locking up shoplifters.

Despite some well-documented problems he’s had with the truth and falsifying his resume, Governor Moore is rumored to have presidential aspirations.

More to come…
