FBI Most Wanted captured in Mexico

 Red State:

This ought to make the left happy; a major gang leader, who is on the FBI's Most-Wanted list, has been captured in Mexico and is headed to the United States, not to be handed a bus ticket and a cell phone, but to face trial. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the capture on Tuesday.

An alleged MS-13 senior gang leader on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list is being extradited to the U.S. after his arrest in Mexico, FBI Director Kash Patel announced Tuesday.

Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales was arrested on Monday in the mountains of the Gulf coast state of Veracruz by Mexican soldiers and federal agents. The FBI was offering a $250,000 reward for information on Bardales prior to his arrest.

Information was obtained, it seems. Since Roman-Baraldes was captured in Mexico, we presume the Mexican authorities made the bust, but Director Patel noted that the MS-13 leader is already in the United States, and he will be standing trial here.

...

While the notion of Roman-Bardales facing an American trial is rather satisfying, it raised the question as to why he was brought to the United States at all, give the deal with have with El Salvador to keep people like this locked up. Roman-Baraldes is a member of a designated terrorist organization, and MS-13 has certainly lived up to that designation. But seeing him tried and (we hope) convicted will be satisfying as well. Better still, he may give up some of his fellow gang leaders. Omerta doesn't always seem to be a big deal with these guys. It's not the best time to be a drug cartel or gang member, and the screws are going to be tightened further still. 

...

I suspect that Roman-Bardales was wanted more than the ones who were shipped to El Salvador.  There are probably differences between someone on the Ten Most Wanted list and the two hundred who were shipped to El Salvador.

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.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

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.
