Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) will take over control of the space agency after seven-month standoff.
WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday narrowly confirmed Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.), a former Navy pilot with no scientific credentials and who doesn’t believe humans are primarily to blame for the global climate crisis, to lead NASA.
Bridenstine will become the first elected official to hold the NASA administrator job. He joins a Cabinet already loaded with people who question the near-universal scientific consensus that climate change is real and that human activity is the primary cause.
The final vote ― which was 50-49 along party lines ― came one day after the Senate narrowly advanced Bridenstine’s nomination, thanks to an about-face from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and a key vote from Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.). Rubio, who in September told Politico that he worried about Bridenstine’s nomination “could be devastating for the space program,” said in a statement Wednesday that he decided to support the nominee in order to avoid “a gaping leadership void” at NASA.

This is sad. It will take Democrats decades to clean up this mess. What do you think?
When did promoting the climate change hoax become NASA's job?
When Obama weaponized government departments to push the liberal agenda.
Obama? Just another NaziCon conspiracy theory. Trump has weaponized the entire government.
Hi Apple - Re: Your Signature ..... "I listened carefully to Comey's interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC. Comey is a pompous, self-serving asshole! He needlessly cost Hillary the presidency." You do realize Comey kept the Queen Bee from being prosecuted do you not ?
Yes, I do realize that. He found her not guilty of any crimes. Thanks for reminding us...
Yup ... and do you also recall that he drafted her exoneration before the investigation was under way - basically her innocence was pre ordained - it's a friggin miracle I tell ya - a miracle !!!
Hallelujah !!! Praise Lord Soros !
