ANNALS OF CRAZY LEFTIST WOMEN: A Florida Attorney Walks Into a Mississippi Gun Store . . .

White identified herself to an employee as a protester and activist who wanted to buy a gun to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, according to the criminal complaint. White told employees she wanted a firearm for protection at a protest because she believed “ICE agents are becoming crazy and wild,” according to the complaint. She also told employees she was an activist and protester.

During her interactions with employees, White gestured toward her torso and asked whether the firearms for sale would penetrate an agent’s body armor, the complaint says. If they could not, she told an employee she would need to “hit them in the head, shoulder, arm or leg.”

“It probably won’t surprise you to hear that, not only did the dealer not sell her a firearm, but the store contacted ATF.”

CYBERSECURITY: PHP Vulnerability: It’s Really, Really Bad. “This is a huge, huge issue because PHP is everywhere. A vast number of websites use a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP), and PHP is in all of them. This is worse than the log4j vulnerability (which was bad enough), since in a pinch you can live without logging for a while. Remove PHP from your web server, and just about everything breaks. In theory, you could still serve up static web pages, but I’m betting most sites have PHP involved in that task as well, and anything serving up dynamic content (database call, stock prices, etc.) on a LAMP setup is going to break.”

“Folks, this is a bad one. If you run any sort of website, you need to get this one updated ASAP.”

VOTE EARLY AND VOTE OFTEN:

The polls make a lot more sense when you realize Democrats’ only path to taking the Senate depends on Republicans staying home.

The goal is to demoralize you into sitting on the couch instead of showing up on Election Day.

Don’t fall for it.

If Republicans show up, we win.…

MACRON GETS AMERICAN FREE SPEECH WRONG AMID FRENCH RIOTS. The French president misses a crucial distinction: The right to offend isn’t the right to commit violence. The First Amendment isn’t the problem, and abandoning its principles won’t make France safer.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: NASA Safety Panel Concerned About Artemis IV, Future Access to LEO.

Reporting on their fourth quarter 2026 meeting today, the panel praised NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman for the many positive changes he’s making at the agency. They do have some concerns, however.

The Artemis program to return astronauts to the lunar surface scored a huge success in April with the successful Artemis II mission that flew around the Moon. Next up is Artemis III and the panel is very pleased that shortly after taking office, Isaacman modified that flight, changing it from a lunar landing mission to an earth-orbital flight to practice rendezvous and docking with test articles of the two Human Landing Systems — SpaceX’s Starship and Blue Origin’s Blue Moon MK2.

But ASAP is worried about Artemis IV, now envisioned as that first Artemis lunar landing. Not only has it been more than 50 years since NASA landed anyone on the Moon, but it was with a different type of vehicle and in comparatively safe areas closer to the equator. Artemis IV is headed to the Moon’s South Pole, an entirely dissimilar environment with steep slopes, low Sun angles, and temperature extremes.

The South Pole is where the water is. Are we going to plant another flag and come home, or are we going to stay?
