The Dems attempt to flip Texas in 2024 was a disaster

'Blexas Is Dead': Reading the Tea Leaves in the Texas Presidential Election Results

...

"Blue Texas" ("Blexas") didn't happen in 2012 nor 2016. But perhaps inspired by Beto O'Rourke's failed but close campaign against Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018, Democrats gave it a go again in Texas in 2020, spending seven figures to flip it to Joe Biden and doubling down on statewide voter registration efforts only to once again fail.

In addition to the Democrat Party getting a lot of help in 2024 from billionaire George Soros to try and flip Texas, Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris even made a big visit to the state towards the latter part of her campaign in a stop that featured Beyonce, only to go down in defeat there in what turned out to be a very bad night for her across the country.

It is by comparing Harris' numbers in Texas in 2024 to Joe Biden's in 2020 that we can get a good read on how spectacularly the "Blexas" movement has failed:
When Democrats were winning elections in Texas they were all conservatives.  That was still the case when I was a teenager.  But it started changing when I was in college when a Republican, John Tower, won a statewide senate race. While Democrats win a few House seats in some blue cities, as a whole Republicans win more races and most statewide races. Harris was clearly not a strong candidate.  She was given the nomination without winning a primary election.  She had trouble explaining why people should vote for her.

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.
