Cartel smuggling tunnels found on Arizona border

 Breitbart:

Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan celebrated the discovery of three drug smuggling tunnels used by Mexican cartels along the Arizona border. U.S. and Mexican law enforcement teamed up and used drone technology to discover the tunnels.

Homan posted a report on social media calling the discovery “great news.” The incoming Trump administration border czar described a joining operation between “American and Mexican officials.

“This is one of three recently found since last year alone, with this one being found with the help of a drone,” Homan stated.

SPP Sonora, a Mexican government agency, posted photos on Facebook on December 26 of the drone operation that led to the discovery of one of the tunnels.

“In a joint operation between the Secretariat of Public Security, through the State Police with authorities of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the location of a tunnel between Sonora and Arizona in San Luis Rio Colorado was achieved thanks to the use of a drone,” officials stated, according to the Facebook translation of the Spanish language post.

...

I am not surprised that they did not find tunnels on the Texas border, because Gov. Abbott has pretty well closed it to the cartels.  New Mexico's border may be too hot and sandy.  It is interesting how drones have become a tool for protecting the border and tracking the cartels.  I hope Homan is right about the demise of the cartels.  It is also good that Mexico is cooperating with the US in dealing with the cartels.

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...
