The Trump executive orders on day one

 Newsmax:

President Donald Trump on Monday night fulfilled a spate of campaign promises by signing a number of executive orders, including the pardon of roughly 1,500 defendants in cases related to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol.

Among the other executive orders he signed were ones declaring drug cartels terrorist organizations, as well as withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate accord and the World Health Organization, and revising dozens of Biden administration policies.

Trump first conducted the signings, which aired live on Newsmax, following an inauguration parade and his speech at the Capitol One Center in Washington, D.C. He sat at a desk on the arena stage and was handed a number of executive orders to sign. He then moved to the Oval Office, where he signed more, including the pardon of the Jan. 6 defendants, which he had said were "hostages" of the Biden administration.

The first order he signed rescinded 78 executive actions, executive orders, and presidential memorandum issued during the Biden administration, including those addressing the immigration crises, gender identity and diversity issues, equity and inclusion policies, and those relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here are is a list of the executive orders and presidential actions signed on his first day in office. A full list can be found here....

...

It is a lengthy list that you will find at the link above.  I have often thought the Jan. 6 defendants were political prisoners who were targeted because they were demonstrators who supported Trump.  The allegations of insurrection seemed over the top.

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.
