Republican's push border security

 DC Daily Journal:

...

The American people have long demanded a secure border, and House Republicans are answering that call with a massive investment in border security, building on the unprecedented successes of the Trump administration. With a clear mandate from voters who prioritize safety and sovereignty, the GOP is championing a $46 billion package to fortify the nation’s borders. This isn’t just about walls—it’s about equipping Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with cutting-edge tools to protect communities, stop illegal immigration, and choke off the flow of deadly drugs like fentanyl. The vast majority of Americans, fed up with years of lax policies, are ready to stand behind this bold vision.

The House Homeland Security Committee, led by Republicans, is driving this historic effort. The proposed $46 billion would fund new border wall systems, advanced cameras, sensors, lighting, access roads, and other technologies to strengthen enforcement capabilities. Over $5 billion is earmarked specifically for upgrading tech at and between ports of entry, ensuring CBP has the resources to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated criminal networks. This investment reflects the will of a nation determined to reclaim control of its borders.

“As cartel tactics evolve, Congress must provide [Customs and Border Protection] CBP personnel with the cutting-edge technology they need to carry out President Trump’s proven border security agenda while safely staying one step ahead of threats,” said Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation. His words resonate with Americans who see secure borders as a cornerstone of national safety.

The technology package is a game-changer. “From drones and ground sensors to surveillance towers, technology is a force multiplier for our boots on the ground, allowing CBP to respond faster, smarter, and more strategically,” Green added. The GOP’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” allocates over $5 billion to modernize tech, enabling CBP to detect human smuggling, reduce “gotaways” (illegal migrants who evade capture), and intercept dangerous drugs before they poison American communities. For a public weary of crime and chaos, this is a welcome step forward.

I grew up about 20 miles from the Mexican border in Texas, and it was much more secure back then.  Trump is wisely restoring border security after Biden opened the area to the cartels and illegals.  Back then, border residents would visit Mexican cities to shop and eat at restaurants.  Now it is not as safe.

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.
