McCain gets it right on Obama

ABC News:

Sen. John McCain accused White House rival Sen. Barack Obama, on Wednesday of offering sweeping rhetoric and broad generalities in his run for president on.

"There's going to come a time when we're going to have to get into specifics," McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, told reporters in Washington.

"I have not observed every speech he has given obviously, but they are singularly lacking in specifics."

Fresh off a clean sweep in the Chesapeake primaries of Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, McCain was asked about a line in his remarks that seemed to be a reference to Obama.

"To encourage a country with only rhetoric rather than sound and proven ideas that trust in the strength and courage of free people is not a promise of hope," McCain said in his victory speech Tuesday night. "It is a platitude."

...

"As the campaign moves forward, we will be portraying very stark differences." McCain said. "It's not an accident that he has, I think…the most liberal voting record in the United States Senate. I have one of the most conservative."

...

The reason Obama has offed no specifics is that voters would not find his proposals inspiring. They would be the same old liberalism that has been rejected for years. McCain needs to make Obama gets specific or admit that he has no plan for reaching the objectives his soaring rhetoric hints at. To beat charisma, you have to get specific. On the specifics the voters will reject Obama. Even on the war he needs to be hammered on what he will do when the enemy takes advantage of the retreat he orders.

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.
