2024 a setback for Dems nationally and in Texas

 Washington Examiner:

Following crushing election defeats, the Democratic Party is purging state leaders.

The Republican Party won the trifecta in the 2024 elections, shocking observers with gains in nearly every demographic. Democrats, looking to regroup, are aiming to replace their leadership in several key states — in some cases voluntarily and in others involuntarily.

One of the first to resign was Texas Democratic Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa, who ran the state party for 12 years. Despite significant gains during the 2010s, all of this progress was blown on Nov. 5, when the state, once thought to be on the verge of going blue, went 14 points for President-elect Donald Trump. The 1.5 million vote margin was the second largest in the state’s history. The other major race for Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) seat saw the Republican beat his Democratic challenger, Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), by nine points despite Democrats’ messaging they were making gains.

Hinojosa acknowledged the blistering defeat in his resignation, which he submitted with two years remaining in his term.
...

Texas continues to be a red state despite Democrat expenditures.  Texas was a conservative state even when Democrats were winning officers in the state.  I recall that many were surprised when Republican John Tower won a US Senate seat.  Now it is hard to find many elected Democrats in the state.  Despite that, the polling underestimated the support for Republicans like Ted Cruz.

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.
