The Dems' dodge against DOGE

DC Daily Journal:

Since taking office, Trump has already signed at least 63 executive orders in just a few weeks, including 26 on his first day alone. His orders reflect a decisive shift toward his “America First” agenda — cutting government waste, reinstating protections for women’s sports, and deporting thousands of illegal immigrants who entered under Biden’s policies.

One of the biggest targets of Democratic outrage is Trump’s creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is now investigating wasteful spending, corruption, and financial mismanagement across federal agencies. The move has sparked fierce opposition, with Left-wing officials scrambling to challenge the administration in court.

Determined to resist Trump’s policies at every turn, a coalition of Democratic state attorneys general and local officials vowed to wage a legal war against the administration. But their battle isn’t limited to the courtroom — top Democrats have made it clear they’re taking the fight to the streets.

“We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We’re going to fight it in the streets,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declared in January.
...

Meanwhile, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, turned up the rhetoric even further, vowing at a protest over DOGE and its chair, Elon Musk, “We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your a–es, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like, and this ain’t it.”

This legal onslaught comes after years of what Trump has called “lawfare” — weaponized prosecutions aimed at derailing his political career. Throughout his first term, Democrats pushed numerous investigations and impeachments. More recently, Trump faced politically motivated criminal indictments in New York, Georgia, and from Biden’s Justice Department, all designed to damage his 2024 campaign.

Now, according to Yoo, Democrats have pivoted from trying to destroy Trump personally to using the courts as a tool to obstruct his presidency.
...

Who in their right mind is against an increase in government efficiency?  The Democrats apparently just want to create distractions while screwing around with the Trump administration.  This looks like a bad-faith move by the Dems.

Fighting waste, fraud, and abuse should be a bipartisan effort, but Democrats immediately oppose anything President Trump does. Democrats are flailing. They have no vision, no leader, and their platform was overwhelmingly rejected by the American people in November.

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.
