Cartels smuggling remnants of caravan into US

 Washington Examiner:

The largest-ever caravan of migrants to head to the U.S. southern border broke down days into its journey from southern Mexico, appearing unsuccessful.

But three federal and local law enforcement officials based in South Texas’s Del Rio region told the Washington Examiner on Monday that many from the caravan successfully evaded Mexican authorities and were able to cross the border illegally into the United States over the past several days.

“I talked to one of our federal partners early this morning,” said Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez of Val Verde County, Texas, whose county runs up against 110 miles of the Mexican border. “They’re getting remnants of the caravan. Yesterday, they had just shy of 2,000 people apprehended in the sector, which is probably an all-time high for the day.”

Martinez, a Democrat, said most illegal crossings are taking place about 50 miles southeast of Del Rio, a small border town where tens of thousands of primarily Haitian migrants came across and set up an encampment outside town last September. Downriver, closer to Eagle Pass, Martinez and a Border Patrol agent both said a group of 500 migrants was apprehended Saturday. Border Patrol considers a large group to be 100 or more people, making Saturday’s apprehension significant.

Over the weekend, a group of about 200 migrants from the disbanded caravan was apprehended outside of Eagle Pass, the three officials said.

"Those are the ones that are just turning themselves in. That's all that at this time can be accounted for," Martinez added.

The massive groups are pushed across the border by cartels, whom migrants pay to get them across the border. Cartels, which are cross-border criminal organizations that smuggle people and drugs, took advantage of the flailing caravan as it fell apart when the Mexican government offered people humanitarian visas to reside and work in the country. In addition to charging migrants a fee to get to the U.S., they use migrants to divert Border Patrol to certain areas, allowing them to funnel criminals and drugs across unguarded areas.

 Texas should ship them to the beach in Deleware where Biden is always vacationing.  Biden's immigration policy is a disgrace.

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.

The decline of legacy media

 Candace Hathaway: President-elect Donald Trump's overwhelming victory on November 5 appears to have marked the end of an era for the corporate press. And that is certainly something worthy of gratitude this Thanksgiving. The outcome of the election revealed that the vast majority of voters were unswayed by the liberal media's relentless attacks against Trump and the Biden-Harris administration's persistent lawfare. Instead, America largely rejected the barrage of propaganda and negative coverage directed toward the Republican nominee, including outlandish comparisons to Adolf Hitler and desperate warnings of fascism. Even with the most prominent news networks behind it, the Democratic Party still failed in its mission to instill widespread fear among Americans about the prospect of a second Trump administration. So while the lights may still be on — for now — at the once-powerful media giants, Trump's landslide victory undoubtedly marks the greatest decline in their in...
