GOP running 102 Hispanic candidates in 2022 races

 Washington Examiner:

The House Republicans' congressional campaign arm is seeking to highlight what it says is a record number of Hispanic candidates this cycle. House Republicans are looking to them to make inroads with Hispanic voters and aid the party's efforts to win a majority in the fall.

The National Republican Congressional Committee said a record 102 Hispanic candidates to date ran Republican campaigns for the House this cycle.

"Hispanic voters are abandoning the Democrat Party because they've delivered nothing but broken promises, record high inflation, and soaring crime," NRCC Communications Director Michael McAdams told the Washington Examiner. "Hispanic values of faith, family, and hard work are Republican values, and we are thrilled to have a record number of Hispanics running as House Republicans this cycle."

Republicans say the record number of Republican Hispanic candidates is just one cause for their optimism with voters. Last month, Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) was sworn in after she won an all-party primary to replace former Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela, who resigned earlier this year for a job at a Washington, D.C., law and lobbying firm.

Flores flipped the historically blue 34th Congressional District, spanning from the U.S.-Mexico border at Brownsville, Texas, north for hundreds of miles, and she will hold the seat for the remainder of this congressional term, though Flores is seeking reelection in November in a district that analysts still project leans blue.

...

The district Flores won has elected only Democrats for over a 100 years so clearly there is an opportunity there.  The redistricting is caused by Texas adding two more congressional representatives after the recent census.

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...
