Trump picks Kash Patel for FBI

 National Review:

President-elect Donald Trump announced Saturday night he has chosen loyalist Kash Patel to be the next FBI director, aiming to replace Christopher Wray before his ten-year term expires in 2027.

“Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and ‘America First’ fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution.”

Patel has called for the firing of top bureau leaders and the prosecution of agents he believes abused their authority during the Biden administration, particularly relating to the treatment of Trump and conservatives.

“The agents and lawyers who think they can hide in the shadows while abusing their positions will be put on immediate notice,” Patel wrote in his 2023 book, Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy. Trump said the plan was a “brilliant road map” for his second term.

Given his hardline views and fierce loyalty to Trump, Patel could face challenges when his nomination comes before the GOP-controlled Senate in the next session. While Republicans will hold 53 seats to Democrats’ 47, Patel can’t afford to lose many Republicans presuming all Democrats oppose him.
...

The FBI has needed a house cleaning in recent years as some agents tended to act like Republicans were the enemy.  The Russian Collusion Hoax was one of the biggest political frauds in history and it looked like many in the FBI and DOJ participated in pushing that false narrative.

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.
