Trump blocks trans troops

 Newsmax:

President Donald Trump, in his first executive order on Monday, revoked the Biden-era action that allowed those who identify as transgender to serve in the military, The Hill reported.

During the signing ceremony at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., Trump revoked Executive Order 14004, signed by former President Joe Biden in January 2021.

The order, also known as Enabling All Qualified Americans To Serve Their Country in Uniform, revoked a 2018 order under Trump that barred those identifying as transgender from serving in the military.

Trump's executive order came as his White House called out diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts that have "corrupted them by replacing hard work, merit, and equality with a divisive and dangerous preferential hierarchy."
...

Trump believes that service should be based on merit and not indemnity politics. That was certainly the case during my time as an officer in the Marine Corps.  DEI is a corrosive mistake.

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.
