Trump rebukes those in Congress who have acted irresponsibly in defending the US border

Washington Post:
Trump issues his first veto as he targets congressional rejection of emergency declaration

The rare rebuke from a dozen senators of President Trump’s own party over his border-wall emergency was symbolically important, but Congress lacks the votes to overturn a veto.
Congress has been acting irresponsible about defending the border for years and it has only gotten worse since the Democrats took the House in 2018.  Those Democrats deserve a rebuke of their irresponsible attempts to ignore the crisis on the border and pretend it is not happening.  In the Senate, there were a dozen Republicans who went along with the irresponsible Democrats.  It was a cheap vote by them because they knew the President would veto the resolution and there would not be enough votes to override his veto.  It was just the kind of show vote that helped get Trump elected in the first place.

U.S. officials say massive smuggling effort speeds immigrants across the border

Criminal organizations have mounted a lucrative new operation that uses express buses to deliver migrant families to the U.S. border in a matter of days, according to U.S. law enforcement reports and U.S. and Guatemalan officials.
The Democrat politicians not only don't care that this is happening they are happy that it is.  They want these people to be counted in the 2020 Census so they can steal more House seats.  It is why they oppose a question on the Census about citizenship.  The bad faith of the Democrat Politicians on the border issue is palpable.

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.
