Why Hasn't Musk Developed EMG Mass Drivers for Orbital Launches Yet?

Since the Star Wars program of the Reagan administration developed electro-magnetic accelerators to launch 'smart pebbles' into Earth orbit to attack hostile space vehicles everyone has been developing electro-magnetic accelerators for weapons at least, yet none to my knowledge has adapted the variable and controlled speed magnetic launch switching for launching space modules shaped like bullets more or less with extra disposable heat shield shock absorbers up front. Elon Musk seems like a natural engineer-electro-magnetic propulsion space-developer, so it is a curiosity to me at least why the natural development hasn't occurred?

Chemical rockets are expensive and slow. A linear accelerator 30 miles in length, quite straight and placed gradually upslope in New Mexico could launch rightly designed modules as often as a machine gun. Robert Goddard was aware of the potential of electro-magnetic accelerators for launching to orbit (and between planets with in-space accelerators of a different design and lengths of a thousand miles or more); he sought government funding to build an emg subway from New York to Boston about 1915 or so.

At 3/4s the speed of light travelling to Pluto only takes a couple or three months

Democrat Party-Butina Collusion to Subvert N.R.A.?

One must wonder if the Democrat Party colluded with alleged super-spy model knock-out Maria Butina to infiltrate and weaken a main enemy within the enemy camp; the National Rifle Association. When Hillary Clinton's hard drive was lost or the data erased one might wonder if a trail to Netfliks-worthy material was deleted and unavailable to screenwriters.

The N.R.A. as a target of Russian espionage just seems to lack a certain zing of credibility, unless she was captured with hidden cameras and videos of N.R.A. officials stockpiling classified military weapons for a coup d'etat. Maybe Russians have sent special aging super-agents to infiltrate A.A.R.P. to discover if they are padding their discounts with a little extra for elite staff cadre.

If the Russian Communist Party is sending people with special skills to infiltrate Hollywood to rig the Academy Awards in favor of leftist films (Tom Cruse has never won an Oscar) the Mueller Investigation should open a branch office in Hollywood to interrogate actors and actresses of interest. In the meantime at least they have Butina arrested and unable to try anything tricky that might weaken U.S. gun security.

Speaker Pelosi Set to Censor/Ban State of the Union Speech

President Trump's opportunity to make a state of the union speech before congress is being shot down by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Democrats are the party of censorship these days and apparently Alex Jones being banned from large Internet platforms wasn't enough; they also want to censor and ban the State of the Union speech.

Speaker Pelosi did say the President could submit the speech in writing and presumably some members might get a copy to read. How generous.

The Speaker cited security concerns though Homeland Security said they have the matter in hand. The issue is really about censoring the President's opportunity to say antipathetic political items concerning the border wall and partial government shut down of course. Democrats are used to attacking personally instead of addressing issues and creating party cult loyalty instead of rationally thinking about good ideas independently.

President Trump did at least have the opportunity to postpone another Speaker Pelosi winter travel junket cancelling her Air Force flight to a few countries abroad.

Ocasio-Cortez Esl (?) Adumbration Stimulates the Vile

When Rep. Ocasio-Cortez in an interview said she was going to 'run train' on the progressive agenda the next couple of years she sparked broad laughter and amusement in the media at her adumbration. Probably it was an English as a second language adumbration. Maybe she meant 'engineer' the progressive agenda or something like that.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ocasio-cortez-vows-to-run-train-on-progressive-agenda-in-bizarre-turn-of-phrase

I read the report at Fox News that went heavily in to the sexual slang usage interpretation. Comments were as happy with the vile interpretation as could be. None apparently were aware of the way ESL speakers or those that forget the particular word they want (I have recently used the substituted the word 'martinet' for 'marionette' in error yet that's not quite the same) use a descriptive phrase meaning the word.

The media makes a living reporting on sensational topics. They profit reporting on wars and other conflicts and do not invest much in trying to solve them. The media want followers (as do most in business) and aren't necessarily ethical in how they get them. When wars are made obsolete for some reason the media can evolve- as they may be already, to simply reporting on corporate products sensationally. The trouble with that is they report the news sensationally and in service to those that pay them or own the reporting media infrastructure.

In some ways it seems as if things are not getting better.

Permafrost and Oceans are Warming, Antarctic Ice Melting Faster

Recent reports note a globe of warming features of real concern to those with a little awareness of the environment of the Earth they live in. Instead of just reporting facts that 97% of scientists believe it would be useful to identify those large regions with global warming troubles and work on finding politically pragmatic alternate industries and industrial methods for those people and corporations developing to ill effect those sensitive areas.

Governments need to form perennial think thanks looking for employment solutions for business that should be phased out of particular sensitive areas instead of simply passing laws to protect areas that throw people out of work and then are eventually revoked.

I personally feel there should be no fossil fuel engine use in the high arctic because all that carbon monoxide piling up toward the pole must be bad. Yet the chances for doing anything differently look negligible.

Britain Did Not Heed "Make No Permanent Foreign Alliances"

Because the British did not take George Washington's farewell address seriously when he said 'Make no permanent foreign alliances' England now faces punishment from the European Union for bungling the exit plan (Brexit). 

https://www.businessinsider.com/eu-will-happily-punish-britain-for-greek-fallacy-on-brexit-2019-1

President Trump, Congress and future political leaders of the U.S.A. should learn from the British error of joining the EU that is akin to joining one of those blood in blood out criminal gangs so far as financial matters go, and take it as an admonishment not to entangle the United States in permanent foreign alliances that bind the hands of political self-determination behind the back.

Democrat Party Leaders Hate Red State Voters

Democrat Party leaders seem only to care for the interests of party members instead of the people of the United States. Republicans gifted with many dumb or rather wrong ideas do at least appear to care about all of the people of the nation.

Democrats seem to care more about immigrants and especially illegal immigrants than red state voters. Basically red state voter interests are fair dinkum for decline and the people can eat it even unto death in the probable Democrat Party playbook.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer don't really comprehend nor have ab interest in understanding how an endless stream of illegal, cheap labor bumps out the well being of the poor and middle class in the United States while being primarily of benefit to the rich and Democrat Party voters.

Democrats care about lesbians and male homosexuals, minorities and women that vote Democratic. They care about global socialism and for enriching themselves, yet of red state voters well being, nothing at all.

That's how it seems. They are either negligent or malevolent. So flooding the nation with illegal immigrants and labeling people as KKK symps who support immigration being limited to those that Congress has lawfully allowed to enter through legal immigration policy is nothing at all to Democrat Party leaders.
