Hilllary's blood clot

NY Times:

Hillary Clinton Is Hospitalized After Exam Finds a Blood Clot
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is being treated with anticoagulant medication after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from her concussion this month.
She should have been hospitalized when she first suffered the concussion.  While some have questioned whether she actually had one, a person of her age should not take any chances with such injuries because the damage may not be apparent without x-rays and monitoring.  It is likely that her dehydration caused her blood pressure to drop which led to her passing out and getting the head injury to begin with.  The possibility of internal bleeding in the brain is serious.  It causes pressure within the skull which required brain surgery to drain the bleeding and tie it off.

Apparently she is being treated with anti coagulants in an attempt to break up the clotting.  If left untreated it could lead to a stroke.

While I am a retired lawyer and not a doctor I have had family experiences with these issues.  They can be serious.  It has not been that long ago that an actress died following a ski accident when she was not rushed to the hospital with her head injuries.

This may further delay her testimony about the failures of the State Department to adequately protect the Benghazi mission.  She is going to have to eventually testify.

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.

The decline of legacy media

 Candace Hathaway: President-elect Donald Trump's overwhelming victory on November 5 appears to have marked the end of an era for the corporate press. And that is certainly something worthy of gratitude this Thanksgiving. The outcome of the election revealed that the vast majority of voters were unswayed by the liberal media's relentless attacks against Trump and the Biden-Harris administration's persistent lawfare. Instead, America largely rejected the barrage of propaganda and negative coverage directed toward the Republican nominee, including outlandish comparisons to Adolf Hitler and desperate warnings of fascism. Even with the most prominent news networks behind it, the Democratic Party still failed in its mission to instill widespread fear among Americans about the prospect of a second Trump administration. So while the lights may still be on — for now — at the once-powerful media giants, Trump's landslide victory undoubtedly marks the greatest decline in their in...
