Another Democrat demonstrates her stupidity and ignorance, demanding NASA’s acting administrator revoke Musk’s access to headquarters
Congresswoman Grace Meng (D-New York), describing
her terror when ordinary Americans walked through the
Capitol on January 6th, almost all of whom simply took
pictures. Click for video.
Proving she knows nothing about the Constitution and the powers it gives to the President, congresswoman Grace Meng (D-New York) earlier this week sent a letter to NASA’s acting administrator Janet Petro demanding that Petro revoke any access to the agency’s headquarters by Elon Musk as part of his work auditing government operations as part of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Meng’s letter [pdf] is quite entertaining, especially because it repeats the new Democratic Party talking point that somehow because DOGE employees, including Musk, were “unelected” their access is inappropriate. How stupid. Except for the president, everyone who works in the executive branch of government is “unelected.”
That Meng also thinks NASA’s acting administrator has the power to block access to someone hired specifically by the president to do this work shows us how ignorant she is of the Constitution and basic law. Petro can’t cancel Trump’s orders, even if she wants to. Trump is her boss, and if he tasks Musk and DOGE to audit NASA’s books, she must comply.
There is only one part of Meng’s demand that makes some sense, where she demands Petro “set clear and public ground rules” to keep Musk from getting access to proprietary information of other space companies. Musk certainly has a conflict-of-interest issue at NASA, and such rules make sense. I am also quite sure that Musk is well aware of this issue, and will purposely leave the DOGE audit to others.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

HOW THE REFOUNDING OF AMERICA BEGINS
“From what really happened to JFK and who was involved, to what really happened and who was involved in the 9-11 event and what led up to it, to Jeffery Epstein’s “little black book” and his private PEDO island. It is now all on the table. When you take the time to study these and many other events in American history you come to understand the difference between the necessary government narrative, and the cold and raw truth of the political power game.”
“You have recreated, reenergized and refocused the Trump that now sits in the White House, you put him there! Should have just let him be if you wanted the Socialist status quo to continue and prevail. WELL, DONE!”

Truly, only in America can the learning disabled rise to such a position.
We have a unitary executive; we call The President. Trump is the Executive Branch and everyone who works in the executive branch by definition works for the President.
And it’s the only office that is elected by the entire Country

Apparently, some unelected people in government are more equal than others.
Joe Rogan makes the good point that being one of the smartest autists on the planet, Elon Musk is the wrong psychopath to pick a fight with.

James — Thank you for that. Even worse from the perspective of the left, both Elon Musk and Donald Trump would seem to exemplify Carlyle’s Great Man theory of history. This is, of course, anathema to the Marxists’ belief that only the “masses” (with a little guidance from the self-appointed, right-thinking elites) determine our destiny.
Who is Elon Musk most like?
Maybe a bit like Benjamin Franklin?
To think of a guy who would bring his son to work.
I did some accounting for a guy who left his company and started another one. His old company SUED him, claiming he was using “trade secrets” to sell motors and gear boxes that were in common use in every manufacturing business. I had to testify and when asked “Has Mr. x been utilizing “trade secrets” from his former employer’s company”? I replied “I have no idea what secrets he might know, but if he’s using any he better forget them before he goes bankrupt”! The Court burst into laughter – the Judge was not amused! But it was true, the guy had put his entire RETIREMENT funds into his company and was losing it all. I had no proof, but I think his former boss was bad mouthing him and undercutting his pricing.
What has that to do with Mr. Musk? IF he did gain access to his “competitors” proprietary info he surely should DISREGARD it – he’s doing quite well with his OWN knowledge!
I dare say Space X does not need any of NASA’s backwards and old technology, unless they want a good laugh.
Underestimating the stupidity of your average Progressive is an impossible task.
This is dumb on so many levels… NASA people generally try to avoid partisan politics. They just want to do their jobs. If their leadership tells them to let DOGE people in, they will.
And NASA has been dealing with company proprietary information from the start. There are long-established procedures for that. Things like competitive bids and bid evaluation are generally restricted to the small team that does the bid evaluation. NASA generally does not hold company proprietary technical information; that remains with the companies. But there isn’t as much of it as people think, because most stuff that is built for NASA under contract is paid for with government dollars, and NASA has government purpose rights.
Elon has already said he won’t participate in any evaluations where there is a direct conflict, e.g., launch services provided by Blue Origin or United Launch Alliance.

THE D.O.G.E EFFECT: UPDATE
“A slice from the real world: A CPA friend and customer of mine who I consider a political “Scalp” stopped by. A political Scalp being someone who came to me confused asking questions and attempting to make sense of the politics ongoing in the country over the last 10years. He was a loyal Democrat voter until the light bulb went off in his head and he began to better understand.”
