Hamas leadership not interested in a cease fire?

 Red State:

In a blow to the "ceasefire now" crowd, including clownishly antisemitic politicians like Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Hamas leadership has let it be known that they don't want a ceasefire.

The first indication of that came on Thursday when Hamas carried out a terrorist attack in Jerusalem, leaving three dead and dozens injured. If that wasn't clear enough, though, Hamas' leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar let it be known on the same day that the October 7th attacks were just a rehearsal.
...

This isn't complicated. Hamas just wants to kill Jews and wipe Israel off the map. There isn't a more complicated geopolitical explanation for their barbarism. No matter how many times Tlaib and other Democrat politicians pretend the majority of Palestinians want to simply live in peace with a single or two-state solution, the truth remains that most of them just really hate Jews and see it as their life's mission to kill them.

Are there some in Gaza and the West Bank, particularly those in the older generations, that would accept a peaceful arrangement? Sure, but according to post-October 7th polling, they are a small minority, with 75 percent of the population supporting the massacre and wanting more attacks.

There isn't a peaceful solution to be found with Hamas, and those living in the relative safety of the West calling for a "ceasefire" are simply calling for the continuation of Hamas' terrorist campaign. I wish that wasn't the reality on the ground, but it is. They are not going to stop, and they keep telling everyone they are not going to stop. That means Hamas must be destroyed.
...

Peace will only come after the utter destruction of Hamas.  Ceasefires are not the answer when dealing with a genocidal enemy like Hamas.

Blinken to Israelis: 'I Don't Think You Have the Credit' to Fight Hamas to Finish

...

 Perhaps Blinken’s not getting the message, but it’s pretty clear to everyone else. The US no longer has the credit to impose such suicidal strategies on Israel, not the other way around. Or to put it another way: Israel isn’t about to take lessons on defending its citizens from the geniuses that abandoned 14,000 Americans to the Taliban in 2021.

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.
