Astronaut rescue in process

Thomas Lifson: "CNN wants you to know that Biden did not strand the astronauts Musk is rescuing - As always, the media is stepping in to help the Democrats, this time, taking narrative control to diminish Musk’s rescue of the stranded astronauts."

Now that Elon Musk is on Trump’s team and the latest two-minute hate (and vandalism) target, he must not be allowed to look heroic in the media. But the spectacle of his SpaceX stepping up to rescue the astronauts who have been left in orbit at the International Space Station for months longer than planned is awfully compelling and—face it—downright epic. It takes no imagination whatsoever to foresee how the media would play up a successful rescue if Musk had happened to be a loyal Democrat.

The fact that Musk is doing what gigantic defense contractor Boeing was incapable of accomplishing—and the fact that his DOGE team is simultaneously uncovering unimaginable levels of waste, fraud, and abuse in federal spending -- makes the mission even more toxic in the eyes of the media division of the Democrat party.

I don't want to say that Joe Biden stranded two astronauts because he couldn't bear to give Elon Musk a win.  It's too terrible to think about.
