Biden has negative approval numbers in 24 of the 34 states with Senate elections in 2022

 Washington Examiner:

Republicans are supposed to be facing a difficult Senate map for the 2022 midterm elections as they look to retake both houses of Congress. President Joe Biden is making that a lot easier.

According to online pollster Civiqs, Biden’s approval rating is underwater in 24 of the 34 states that will be electing senators in 2022. That includes states with incumbent Democratic senators such as Arizona (where Biden’s approval is -11 points), Colorado (-4), Georgia (-12), and Nevada (-4), as well as states that the GOP is defending in Florida (-10), North Carolina (-11), Pennsylvania (-8), and Wisconsin (-4).

The only bright spot for Democrats is in New Hampshire, where Biden is up 5 points (49%-44%). Yet, even that minor victory is not absolute: A recent Saint Anselm poll shows Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan trailing GOP Gov. Chris Sununu by 8 points in a hypothetical matchup.

Meanwhile, the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll has Biden’s national approval rating at 43%, with his approval among independents now sitting at just 36%. With just an eight-seat majority in the House and a tiebreaker majority in the Senate, Biden is losing the support of independents and is poised to drag down vulnerable House and Senate Democrats, as well as the Democratic challengers to vulnerable GOP senators.

...

Added to this is the unpopularity of the Democrats' legislative agenda which is also underwater in many states,  At this point, it looks like Democrats are facing another shellacking.

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.
