The Right Thing To Do Here? It's Complicated. We Are Huge Boosters Of Real NASA Science, Obviously. But Trump [Falsely] Claiming He Now Supports Things He Tried [Impotently] To Kill... I Cannot Do.

Every year, for the past ten or so -- I've trumpeted NASA's annual year end "victory lap" video, as posted on YouTube.

It is there, again this year. But this year -- it is. . . different. [And dishonestly so, due to no malfeasance by the real employees of NASA. This is all dictated from 1600 Penn, I am very certain.]

I do not ever recall Messrs. Clinton, Bush [41 or 43], Obama or Biden appearing in the NASA year ender, to claim credit for the fine science in evidence there. [In fact, during Trump 1.0, this never happened, either -- I just verified it.]

Trump and Musk have actively tried -- in the first half of 2025 -- to kill a host of NASA projects that might compete with SpaceX, or might provide more solid climate change evidence. That is. . . well, deplorable. And in the case of Musk's DOGE -- likely unlawful.

But Congress is wiser than those two. Funding continues.

If you are inclined to watch this year's year end YouTube -- just skip the first one and a half minutes, as it tells all manner of lies -- about Trump's involvement -- and looks more like a military campaign / political ad that MAGA might run. Ick. Now you know -- on to a better 2026 -- and the mid-terms! Out.
