Besides building a border wall, Trump takes steps to keep Gitmo open, targets Muslim Brotherhood

NY Times:

Trump Plans Mexican Wall and Sets Sights on Immigration


  • President Trump on Wednesday will sign an executive order to direct funds to the building of a border wall, a signature issue of his campaign.
  • He is also considering resuming a once-secret detention program, keeping the Guantánamo Bay prison open and designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group.
It is time to recognize that Obama's policy of releasing terrorist did absolutely nothing to reduce terrorism.  It was always a bogus proposition.  He and some in the Pentagon made the mistake of listening to the wrong people on the issue.  Islamic terrorism is not caused by resisting it.  It is caused by Islamic religious bigotry that has zero to do with Gitmo.  The facility and the interrogation of detainees actually helped to uncover plots and thwart them, and terrorism actually increased under Obama's policies.

It is also hard to understand the reluctance in naming the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.  Many Muslim countries have already done that.  If you look at the charter of the organization it is quite clear that their objective is a Muslim dictator controlling the world.  They are Islamic religious bigots on steroids.  They may play like good little lambs, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves out to destroy anyone who does not accept their weird beliefs.

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.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

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.
