Odysseus fell and it can't get up!

ArsTechnia: Odysseus landed on the Moon without any altimetry data.

"You can say whatever you want to say," [The founder and chief executive of Intuitive Machines, Steve] Altemus said. "But from my perspective, this is an absolute success of a mission.

...the engineering team received a blow, with the "top" of the lander now lying on the ground. A large solar panel on top of the vehicle was supposed to gather energy.
[.]
... two [antennas] were sending back largely gibberish. It turns out that the muffled signal they were getting from those two antennas was bouncing off the surface of the Moon because the antennas were pointing downward.

"We had no way to navigate in space," Altemus said.

NASA is thrilled with Intuitive Machines' performance.

SafeSide wins! Ralphie Northam loses! Judge rules Virginia gun range can open amid virus closures.

WJLA: Judge rules Virginia gun range can open amid virus closures.

A judge has ruled that a Virginia gun range must be allowed to open to customers despite a statewide executive order requiring nonessential businesses to close to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

The order issued Monday by Lynchburg Circuit Judge F. Patrick Yeatts says federal and state protections on the right to bear arms outweigh any emergency authority held by Gov. Ralph Northam to order the gun range closed.

The SafeSide gun range in Lynchburg filed the lawsuit challenging the governor’s executive order, along with Gun owners of America, the Virginia Citizens Defense League and the Association of Virginia Gun Ranges.

If Bloomberg ever wore Blackface...

...he'll be easy to spot.

Breitbart: This Is How Mike Bloomberg Secretly Talks About Black People to White Elites.

Ninety-five percent of murders — murderers and murder victims — fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops. They are male, minorities, 16-25. That’s true in New York, that’s true in virtually every city. And that’s where the real crime is. You’ve got to get the guns out of the hands of people that are getting killed. You want to spend the money on a lot of cops in the streets. Put the cops where the crime is, which means in minority neighborhoods.

Courthouse News Service: Bloomberg Blamed End of Redlining for 2008 Collapse.

[Bloomberg]: “Redlining, if you remember, was the term where banks took whole neighborhoods and said, ‘People in these neighborhoods are poor, they’re not going to be able to pay off their mortgages, tell your salesmen don’t go into those areas.'”

He continued: “And then Congress got involved — local elected officials, as well — and said, ‘Oh, that’s not fair, these people should be able to get credit.’ And once you started pushing in that direction, banks started making more and more loans where the credit of the person buying the house wasn’t as good as you would like.”

The Virginia Dem Trifecta; Northam, Fairfax and Herring. A Herring?

The Atlantic: Virginia Democrat Scandal.

As Goes Virginia, So Goes the Democratic Party.
[.]
Governor Ralph Northam is under fire for wearing blackface, and for a bizarre yearbook photo that shows a man in blackface and another in a Klan hood. (Northam denies he is either.) Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, who will succeed Northam if he resigns, is now the subject of a sexual-assault accusation.
[.]
Attorney General Mark Herring, who is second in line for the governor’s seat behind Fairfax, acknowledged late Wednesday morning that he wore blackface at a party in college in 1980, when he was 19. In a statement, Herring said he’d dressed up as the rapper Kurtis Blow and performed a song.

What a Trifecta. If we could travel back in time to a few weeks ago, and had been given odds on what's happening to the three top Virginia Dems - who would have placed money on that type of a long-shot? No one.

It would be easier if all elected Dems in Virginia would raise their hands if they:
a) didn't wear Blackface (or enter a contest or costume party involving a race or ethnicity other than their own),
b) never dressed up as a KKKlansman,
c) haven't been accused of sexual-assault,
d) never participated in other politically incorrect and insensitive behavior.

The Virginia Trifecta ! 
-  Sponsored by the political party that preaches political correctness and is always reminding others that appearances, conduct and actions matter.

What was that about a herring?

Ralph Northam almost does moonwalk. VA Gov wife nixes performance as "inappropriate circumstances."

Still-Governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, DEMOCRAT, contemplated performing the Michael Jackson moonwalk during a press conference.

Daily Mail: Northam considers moonwalk until wife intervenes.

...while taking questions, a reporter asked [Democrat Virginia Governor Ralph Northam]: 'Are you still able to moonwalk?'

And in the brief moments after the question, Northam appeared to look around to see if he had enough space to do the dance move.

But just as he looks to start the jig, his wife asserted: 'Inappropriate circumstances.'

'My wife says inappropriate circumstances,' the controversial politician reiterated.

Let's pretend he's not in the picture he said he was in, and then later said he was sure he isn't in. And let's pretend his 1984 (soooooo long ago) photo is some other two people, unknown to Northam and that he doesn't have a racist bone in his body and loathes the KKK and would never dress as a Klansman as a prank. In...1984.

Let's watch him give pause, considering the request - almost proud that he's asked - and seriously contemplates performing the moonwalk:

Can we agree the man is an idiot? While I don't think it's inappropriate to do the moonwalk - if you CAN do it well - considering the circumstances surrounding Ralph Northam's comments and the photo...which he ISN'T in...(ahem, cough)...what was he thinking? Idiot. His wife is obviously familiar with disaster mitigation

Keep digging, Governor Northam, keep digging. Rumor is at his next press conference he's doing "Mammy".
