Biden's open border policy is killer

 Breitbart:

Two people died in a crash as an alleged human smuggler led law enforcement officials on a high-speed pursuit. The driver, a U.S. citizen, reportedly ran a stop sign and broadsided a vehicle not involved in the pursuit.

A gray Ford Explorer reportedly loaded with six migrants failed to yield to Border Patrol agents and led agents and the Texas Department of Public Safety in a pursuit, according to a report from KRGV.com.

During the pursuit, the driver, later identified by MyRGV.com as 18-year-old Esteban Cantu, ran a stop sign and broadsided a vehicle traveling on another road, Border Patrol union officials reported.

MyRGV.com reports the crash left two people dead and multiple others injured. Mission police told the local news outlet that multiple people were transported to a hospital.

Cantu is under arrest and police say he is charged with evading arrest with a motor vehicle, a felony, and human smuggling.

Elsewhere in the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector, a migrant died after the driver of a gray F-150 pickup truck fled from Border Patrol agents in Starr County, Texas, according to a statement issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Agents observed two vehicles engaged in suspicious behavior near Encino, Texas. The small community is a well-known human smuggling area where drivers drop off migrants to march around the Falfurrias Border Patrol checkpoint on U.S. Highway 281. Agents engaged the driver of the Ford truck who fled the scene and led agents in pursuit, officials stated.

The agents contacted Texas DPS troopers who joined in the pursuit. The trooper, traveling with two Border Patrol agents, deployed a vehicle immobilization device to stop the fleeing driver.

The driver swerved to avoid the device and lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle rolled after striking solar panels, ejecting occupants of the vehicle. He then fled from the scene but was later apprehended by police.

Agents found a migrant who had been ejected from the vehicle. An agent trained as an Emergency Medical Technician attempted to revive the migrant. Inclement weather kept an air ambulance from responding to the scene and the migrant succumbed to his injuries.
...

It is not unusual that people trying to avoid the Border Patrol are criminals who know they will be subject to deportation even under Biden's ridiculous policies.  The Falfurrias checkpoint has been in existence for decades.  I used to stop for it on my way from my parent's home in the Rio Grande Valley to the University of Texas in Austin.  Aliens with no criminal record usually turn themselves into the Border Patrol without incidents.

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.
