Kamala Harris polling lower than Joe Biden

 Washington Free Beacon:

Three-quarters of voters disapprove of Vice President Kamala Harris's handling of the southern border crisis, according to a nationwide poll.

President Joe Biden made Harris the "border czar" of his administration in March. Now, a majority of voters—75 percent—have rated her handling of the response "poor." The judgment did not change with political affiliation: Fifty-five percent of Democrats and 94 percent of Republicans agree with that assessment. Slightly more Democrats participated in the poll than Republicans, and slightly more women participated than men. The poll, conducted by the Convention of States Action and the Trafalgar Group, surveyed more than 1,000 likely general election voters.

More than 1.5 million migrants have crossed the southern border in 2021, with some months marking decades-long highs in immigration. Following the first influx of migrants in March, Harris faced backlash for laughing off reporters' questions about the Biden administration's border response. During an interview in June with NBC's Lester Holt, she falsely claimed she had "been to the border." When Holt corrected her by noting she had not made a visit, Harris replied, "I—and I haven't been to Europe. And I mean, I don't—I don't understand the point that you're making."
...

On the issue of the border, Biden is also coming in at 25% approval.  So far, Republicans have complained about the border situation but have not made it a focus of their campaign.  They should.

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.
