Trump voids Biden's 'autopen' actions

 Daily Mail:

Donald Trump declared his predecessor's last-minute pardons 'void, vacant and of no further force or effect' as he warned that members of the House committee investigating the January 6 riots can now face prosecution.

Trump claimed late Sunday night that because Joe Biden used an autopen the pardons cannot be enforced and even made the stunning suggestion they were signed without the former president's knowledge.

'The Pardons that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs and many others are hereby declared VOID, VACANT AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,' he posted on his Truth Social page.

'In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!' Trump claimed.

'The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them and the people that did may have committed a crime.

'Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level,' Trump wrote.

Biden had issued preemptive pardons for all nine members of the January 6 Committee - including panel Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson and former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney.

'The fact is they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden,' Trump claimed on Sunday.
...

I have argued in the past that the events of January 6 were more of a demonstration than a riot.  It was a demonstration that Democrats certainly opposed.  The House committee that looked into the demonstration was composed of a group of Trump haters from both parties.  Biden is likely to be remembered as the "autopen" president.

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.
