Trump makes the case for defending the Texas border instead of Ukraine's

 Washington Examiner:

...

"Normally a nation has to lose a war to lose its border, and yet our borders have been surrendered," he (Trump) said, drawing a stark contrast between the current surge and the "great secure border" the nation enjoyed during his term.

...

"Everyone in Washington is obsessing over how to protect Ukraine's border, but the most important border in the world right now for us is not Ukraine's. It's America's border," he said. "The first duty of the American president is to defend the American border."

But Trump did analogize the need for borders in the U.S. to the uncertain sovereignty plaguing nations such as Ukraine and Taiwan.

"Illegal aliens are pouring in by the millions and millions. China is threatening Taiwan. Iran is on the cusp of a nuclear bomb. Russia may take over Ukraine," he said, rattling off his assessment of President Joe Biden's failures.

Trump said the recent escalation in tensions between Ukraine and Russia, which many believe could culminate in an invasion of the former after the Winter Olympics, would not have occurred under his administration.

"As everyone knows, what Putin and Russia are doing with Ukraine would never, ever, not even possible, have happened if I was president. Never did. Never did," he said. "They would not have dreamed of it, and they would not have dared to do it."


The former president pointed to the Winter Olympics as a milestone for another international act of aggression, predicting China will invade Taiwan, where long-standing tensions came to a head after the Chinese ambassador to the U.S. warned Taiwanese independence efforts could result in military conflict.

Many Americans agree with Trump when he talks about Biden's incompetence and failure.  They also agree with him about protecting the US borders.

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.
