Hillary Clinton's debate screw ups

Hugh Hewitt:
Despite the best efforts of the Democratic National Committee, news broke out of the three-way debate in New Hampshire Saturday night.

Even up against a couple of tomato can opponents in Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could not prevent herself from making two major, unforced errors.

The first came with Clinton's astonishing declaration that "We are now where we finally need to be in the fight against ISIS." With the Islamic State orchestrating terror attacks for two months in Paris and the Sinai Peninsula, inspiring others such as in San Bernardino, Calif., and running the remnants of the state of Libya she orchestrated the destruction of without a replacement standing by, this was a jaw-hitting-desk moment.

Hillary's bear hug of her own Libyan fiasco as the country erupts in explosion after explosion of refugees and terrorists signals that she is clueless about the electorate's assessment of President Obama's and her foreign policy — from her "Russian reset" button to the Egyptian dizziness to the Benghazi fail and subsequent descent of the country into Islamic State Land 2.0.

Even more astonishing was Hillary's pure invention of yet another false video narrative — this time of a non-existent video of Donald Trump talking about Islam and Muslims. Hillary declared during the debate that Islamists were using it to recruit new radicals.

That "video" doesn't exist. Fact checkers from both the Washington Post and New York Times concluded Hillary's statement was a lie. A. Lie. But she couldn't help herself. On a national stage in a staged exhibition of a pretend debate she still was compelled to lie. Astonishing.
...
Hillary Clinton is a candidate if fantasy land.  to her failure is a success and if there was no real video, there should have been.  That is the way she rolls.  It will give the opposition significant material for ads in the fall campaign.  It reinforces the narrative that she is not a good candidate.

It should be noted that this happened against lackluster Democrat opposition.  She would have difficulty surviving a debate with Ted Cruz.

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.
