Walking away from Cuban health care, Michael?

Houston Chronicle:

Two players apparently defected from the Cuban national soccer team before Wednesday's Gold Cup match against Honduras at Reliant Stadium.

Forward Lester More went missing at the team's last stop in East Rutherford, N.J., and midfielder Osvaldo Alonso did not return from a group shopping trip in Houston. Their whereabouts were unknown late Wednesday night.

"We know what you know," said a Cuba team trainer, who declined to give his name. "We don't know anything more. These two players left. They did not come back."

"No one here is keeping them from leaving," he said in a brief interview at the team hotel. "If they leave, that's their business. We don't know where they are now. We don't know who's helping them. We don't know if they're coming back."

During a news conference after the game, won by Honduras 5-0, Cuban coach Raul Gonzalez was asked several times about the possible defections.

"I am a man of soccer. I don't discuss politics, so I'm not going to answer that question."

Pressed further, Gonzalez said, "The ones that are not here are not here because they choose not to be."

...

Imagine that. People would actually walk away from the wonderful Cuban health care so they could live here with us Sickos. Michael Moore has to be as disappointed as Castro.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
