Blasphemy! Blasphemy!
I'm not a fan of Cenk whatever his name is, but this is good.
I am not joking when I say this is one of the greatest clips I've ever seen on a cable news show.

Cenk completely destroys Alan Lichtman by pointing out that his keys to the White House were wrong and Lichtman responds by accusing him of blasphemy.😂pic.twitter.com/4G1YF3cxTy
It reminds me of the character in the movie "A Fish Called Wanda". The part where he says, "don't call me stupid".

The Dark Side of the Web
The Wayback Machine was once available to check on web pages that are no longer on the web. A quick check on there does not bring up the the Machine. Perhaps I am rushing to report on this, and there's another way to access it, or it has been taken down.
Perhaps it is also me jumping to conclusions. The conclusion is that there's people out there who would like information to be scrubbed from the web. To me, that is evidence of the dark side of human nature. If the web is out there to make everything known, then it does seem rather evil to scrub some things, but not others. That is to say, whatever is out there is being recorded by SOMEBODY. However, only that SOMEBODY has it. This gives that SOMEBODY an advantage over everbody else, who doesn't have that access. This SOMEBODY could be rich and powerful, while all others are not.
Know what I mean, Vern?
Starship Test Flight 6
11/20/24:
A screen grab of the booster returning to the Gulf of Mexico. One thing that stands out to me is that the engine compartment is red hot. The engines are not on, and the booster is 11 km above the surface. There were no explosions in the air, as was the case in earlier flights. Also, there was no fire just before landing, as was the case in Flight 5. This may have been a simulated landing on the tower while at sea. The booster was pitched to one side, then went vertical just as it was landing.

The booster was diverted well before this, by the way. Later reports had stated some damage at the tower. It was deemed a risk, hence the diversion.

The Starship has just landed in the Indian Ocean. There was a bit of excess heating on the flap, but it didn't burn through too badly, or much at all.
The booster didn't make it back to the pad for a catch. It landed in the Gulf of Mexico in its designated area, as best as I can determine.
The launch went pretty smoothly, no engines cut out. The hot stage maneuver seemed to go well, as well as the boost-back burn. Even so, the booster wasn't given the go-ahead for another catch attempt. Therefore, it's backup trajectory was where the booster went. Something of a disappointment. However, I wonder if it was out of an abundance of caution. If a catch was attempted, there's a risk of an incident that could delay the next flight.
If the focus of the this flight was to test the Starship; and not the booster, then the failure of the booster to return is no big deal. Also, the partial burn-out of the ship is no big deal because it is an old design. It is the last of the version 1 of the proto-types.
The next flight will feature the version 2 ship, and it may get a chance to land on the tower.
SpaceX may not be much interested in a booster catch at this point. This part has been done before. Why risk it? It may well be deferred on the next flight as well. SpaceX may not be interested in collecting and reusing old designs.
Flight 7 will be in the first part of next year. Excitement might have been guaranteed, but it was not as exciting without the booster catch. As far as I can tell, the SpaceX team achieved their objectives, and so it is on to the next test flight next year.

At least the Trump folks will give them a fair trial, which is what Trump didn't get.
Angry Leftists Plot to Tank Trump Economy by Not Spending Any Money Once He’s in Office
America First Report
That will convince us all that the Trump economy doesn't work, or so they believe. Think about it. The idea is to convince people that Trump cannot succeed if they sabotage the economic statistics. Why stop there? You could hold another riot for good measure.
Gee whiz. If you cannot beat them, then don't join them. Sure convinces me that they were right.
Why didn't the so-called right engage in this kind of behavior? They'd never lose! That's because if they could beat 'em without sabotage, just think what they'd do if they did.
Well, if the left's gotta sabotage, then thanks for letting us know ahead of time. We'll just have to buy more in order to make up for the deffersit.
