Biden climate kooks a concern

 Washington Examiner:

President-elect Joe Biden is bringing in Obama-era heavyweights to run his White House climate team in a move that is bound to cause tension with congressional Republicans opposed to mandates to curb emissions.

Two well-known, Obama-era veterans will be responsible for realizing Biden’s climate agenda, poised to be the most aggressive of any president. Neither of those officials, however, will be Senate-confirmed, limiting congressional Republicans’ oversight of their positions to largely political noise.

Former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy, as the first national climate adviser, will take on “a singular focus on carrying out our ambitious climate agenda here at home,” Biden said Sunday when introducing his slate of climate and energy nominees.

Former Secretary of State John Kerry, who helped negotiate the Paris climate agreement, will be the voice of Biden’s emissions-curbing policies abroad. As special climate envoy, Kerry will be the first climate-focused official to ever sit on the National Security Council.

Conservatives are suggesting that McCarthy and Kerry could wield more influence than Biden’s Cabinet secretaries, especially those who are new to leadership posts in the federal bureaucracy, such as Michael Regan, Biden’s pick to lead the EPA, and Rep. Deb Haaland, his nominee to be interior secretary.

Senators should ask tough questions of those Biden nominees whose jobs could be “diminished by the existence of multiple climate czars,” said Clint Woods, a former Trump EPA air official who is now a regulatory policy fellow at Americans for Prosperity.

...

The Henny Penny sky is falling left is a danger to the US economy that needs to be reined in.  They have been overstating the problems of "climate change" for decades and have been consistently wrong in their 10-year projections of doom.  They are a threat to national security.

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.
