FBI accused of ignoring threat

Newsmax:

Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, told Newsmax on Wednesday that the FBI has "been ignoring these radicalized Islamists in our country, and we have no idea how many cells are there."

Earlier Wednesday, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, rammed a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens of others before being shot to death by police, according to authorities. An Islamic State flag was found on the vehicle's trailer hitch, and FBI is investigating the evidence as a potential link to an act of terrorism. Van Duyne said as the facts come out the attack "sounds like it's more than just a lone wolf."

"They were saying that you have people who are looking at not only who had rented the truck, but there were three men and a woman who they've got video of putting on explosive devices in the truck that this looks like it was a cell," Van Duyne said during an appearance on "The Chris Salcedo Show."
...

She says the FBI has been too focused on DEI than on Islamic terrorist cells in the US. I would think that having an Islamic state flag on a trailer hitch would have been a clue about the vehicle's operator.  The FBI and local law enforcement must be more alert to these cases.

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?

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...
