Developer of North Dakota oil hits Obama energy policy

The Hill:
Plenty of energy conferences start in the wonky policy weeds and stay there. 
That wasn’t the case with this week’s Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in North Dakota, which featured a big dose of raw presidential politics.

“Why is energy such a high-level issue this year?,” said Harold Hamm, the CEO of Continental Resources and chairman of Romney’s energy policy advisory team, on Thursday. “It is pretty simple: because of the failure of Obama’s energy policy.”
 The billionaire Hamm, whose company is a major player in North Dakota’s booming Bakken oil formation, is also a major donor to the Romney effort. Hamm this year gave $985,000 to Restore Our Future, the super-PAC supporting Romney’s presidential campaign. 
He said Obama’s policies aimed at developing renewable energy are based on a false notion of oil and natural-gas “scarcity” that has been overtaken by the U.S. production boom.
“Romney has a policy of abundance; the other one is one of scarcity,” Hamm said....
You can find a video of portions of his speech here.   I agree with him and I am not a major donor to Romney. In fact what is more important than the fact of his donation is why he supports Romney and not Obama and he makes that pretty clear.  If you vote for a democrat you are voting for a policy of scarcity regardless of that democrats position because he is going to support an administration and leadership who will impose their policy of scarcity.  That is why you should vote against a Democrat at every opportunity.

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.
