Trump criticizes woman governor who wants men in women sports

 Blaze:

President Donald Trump confronted a Democratic governor in front of other governors over her refusal to enforce a federal order forbidding men in women's sports.

Trump was speaking to a meeting of governors at the White House on Friday when he singled out Maine Gov. Janet Mills for refusing to follow the order and berated her over it. Mills fired back, and the two got into a brief shouting match.

"I understand Maine — is Maine here? The governor of Maine?" asked Trump.

"Yeah, I'm here," said Mills.

"Are you not going to comply with that?" he asked, in reference to his order.

"I'm going to comply with state and federal law," she responded.

"Well, I am — we are the federal law. Well, you better do it. You better do it, because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't," he added. "And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports."

The president made the same threat to cut federal funding from Maine on Thursday evening.

"So you better comply — because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding," Trump continued Friday.

"I'll see you in court," Mills retorted.

"Good, I'll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one," he said. "And enjoy your life after, Governor, 'cause I don't think you'll be in elected politics."
...

Does Mills think women could participate in the NFL or NBA?  There may be some sports that men and women can compete in such as tennis but that sport could also be challenging.  I have seen women and men compete in volleyball but even that sport could be dangerous for women competing against men.

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.
