Republicans on the verge of a filibuster proof majority?

 PJ Media:

...

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) just became the latest Democrat to abandon ship ahead of what's shaping up to be a brutal 2026 election cycle for them. And, surprise, surprise — she's blaming Trump for her decision to call it quits.

"It was a difficult decision, made more difficult by the current environment in the country — by President Trump and what he's doing right now," Shaheen whined, perfectly encapsulating the left's perpetual Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Shaheen's retirement creates yet another headache for Chuck Schumer and his increasingly desperate Democrats. They're already dealing with the retirement announcements of Sens. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Tina Smith (D-Minn.). At this rate, Schumer might need anxiety medication to make it through 2026.

...

Let's be honest — these Democrats aren't retiring because they're ready for shuffleboard and early bird specials. They see the writing on the wall. Even Peters admitted that he "never saw service in Congress as something you do your whole life." Translation: It's better to jump than be pushed.

The writing's on the wall, folks. These Democratic retirements aren't just routine turnover; they're a mass exodus ahead of what promises to be a conservative tsunami in 2026

Adding to Democrats' anxiety, heavyweight Republican contenders are already circling Shaheen's soon-to-be-vacant seat. Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown has confirmed his interest, and former NH Gov. Chris Sununu hasn't "ruled it out completely."

Other top pickup opportunities besides Georgia, Michigan, and Minnesota include Virginia, which, while traditionally challenging for Republicans, could be in play if popular GOP figures like Glenn Youngkin jump in the race. 

...

Democrats' problem is their politics more so than their candidates.  The party has lost touch with the majority of voters in the US.  They seem incapable of producing a message that voters want to hear.  Politics can be an expensive undertaking and it is even more so when the party is out of alignment with a majority of voters.

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.

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...
