Americans support Trump's border policy

 Town Hall:

...

While opinions on other issues might be mixed, it is clear that the public believes Trump will address the ongoing border crisis, an issue that the Biden administration has proven unable or unwilling to fix.

Immigration was a centerpoint of Trump’s 2016 and 2024 campaigns. During his first term in office, he took a series of steps to curtail illegal immigration while deporting migrants who committed additional crimes while residing in the country.

This time around, Trump has promised to carry out mass deportations to decrease the number of individuals living in the country illegally. Former ICE Director Tom Homan, who Trump tapped to be his border czar, has already been making the rounds on media to lay out the incoming administration’s plans.

During a recent media appearance, Homan addressed the prospect of migrants rushing to the southern border hoping to gain entry into the U.S. before Trump takes office. “Do not sell everything you own to give it to the criminal cartels to be smuggled into the United States because you’re not going to stay,” he said.

He further urged migrants to “Stay in your homeland” and that “Crossing into this country illegally is very dangerous.”

Homan indicated that the Trump administration would end Biden’s catch-and-release policy. The president-elect has floated the idea of housing illegal immigrants in militarized detention camps as they await deportation instead of simply allowing them to reside within the country.

The Mexican government has also cautioned its citizens against attempting to cross the border illegally through an app, which notifies family members and consulates when users suspect ICE activity. Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente characterized the app as a “panic button,” noting, “In case you find yourself in a situation where detention is imminent, you push the alert button, and that sends a signal to the nearest consulate.”
...

Trump was able to limit illegal immigration during his first term and I believe that is one reason why he won big in 2024.  I think most of the illegal immigrants now are from other countries who are going through Mexico.  Those migrants will likely be stopped at the border with Trump in office.  The ones already in the country will face deportation.

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...
