Democrats adrift

 American Action News:

...

The Democrats are a party lost at sea without a captain. Career left-wing politicians and rookies alike have nothing to offer to fix the inflation crisis; they do not seem concerned about the border catastrophe; they have no regrets about the fraudulent Inflation Reduction Act; and they are at a loss for what to do about China, Iran, Russia and ISIS. The American people know who is responsible for facilitating the failed Biden agenda, so Democrats on Capitol Hill are having a hard time sounding relevant. Here are the five most ridiculous moments from this weeks confirmation hearings:

1. Watching creepy Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine question Defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth about his personal life and family was a pathetic display by a hypocritical Washington, D.C. politician. Not so long ago, Kaine happily turned a blind eye to former President Bill Clinton’s dalliances when he accepted Hillary Clinton’s offer to be her running mate. The spectacle of Kaine attacking Hegseth, the two-time Bronze Star recipient, simply because he is not a creature of the Washington establishment speaks volumes.

2. Seeing Democratic California Sen. Adam Schiff question attorney general nominee and former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi over the dangers of a politicized justice system was just as nauseating. After being censured by the House of Representatives for leading overtly politicized investigations of President Trump for years, Schiff is the undisputed poster child of Trump Derangement Syndrome and a national embarrassment. Democrats who claim Trump will weaponize the Justice Department against his political opponents after staying silent in the face of what the Biden Justice Department did to Trump over the past four years should resign in disgrace.

3. Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner lecturing CIA nominee John Ratcliffe about making “sure that your analysis is objective … not politically influenced,” was another laugh-out-loud moment from the confirmation hearings. The senior senator from Virginia’s line of questioning made it seem as if he’s been sleeping on the job. The American people have known for years that it was the Biden campaign and Democrats who politicized the intelligence community on the eve of the 2020 presidential election by gathering signatures from fifty-one former intelligence officials for a letter that falsely claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.

4. The breathtaking tone-deafness of Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy as he quizzed secretary of State nominee and Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio about Trump’s private business dealings after Democrats ignored allegations concerning the Biden international influence peddling operation for years was more hypocrisy at its finest. Investigators from the House of Representatives diligently “followed the money” and uncovered millions of dollars flowing from foreign sources into the bank accounts of Biden family members and Democrat politicians never batted an eye. The American people are sick and tired of the gross double standards. If Democrats are interested in rehabilitating their tarnished image, they should focus on finding solutions to the problems they created instead of playing the same old political gotcha games.

5. And it’s difficult to take Democratic New Jersey Sen. Andy Kim seriously with his questions for Department of Homeland Security nominee and Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem about Trump’s incoming Border Czar and former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan and the role he will play in border security efforts for the new administration. When you consider that Joe Biden’s Border Czar, Vice President Kamala Harris, and his impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas managed a border invasion for the better part of four years and congressional Democrats still refused to hold anyone accountable for the lawlessness, Kim’s nitpicking rings hollow.
...

There are good reasons why Democrats lost the 2024 elections and they don't seem to have gotten the message.  These attacks on Trump's appointments are just another example of them not learning the lessons the voters just gave them.  I still can't get over how out to lunch the 51 former intelligence officials had to be to believe Hunter's laptop was "Russian disinformation."  That should disqualify them as intelligence experts.

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.
