The demise of the Dems

 DC Daily Journal:

...

Ken Martin, the Minnesota native who took over as Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair in February, promised to sidestep drama and rally Democrats against President Donald Trump.

Yet, four months in, his leadership is mired in turmoil, weakening the party’s ability to challenge Trump’s momentum.

High-profile resignations, dismal fundraising, and internal dissent have left Martin struggling, as Rep. Marc Pocan (D-Wis.) vented on X: “I would love to have a day go by that @DNC doesn’t do something embarrassing & off message.”

While Martin claims, “The American people don’t care about Beltway chatter,” his party’s disarray—contrasted with Trump’s disciplined Republican National Committee, which grew its funds from $38 million to $67 million in 2025, per Politico—hands Trump an edge.
...

David Hogg’s brief stint as DNC co-chair ended after his PAC targeted “asleep at the wheel” Democrats, causing headaches for Martin, who questioned his role in a leaked call, per Axios on June 16.

Financially, the DNC’s cash dwindled from $22.1 million to under $18 million by April, while Trump’s RNC thrives, per FEC reports.

Democrats’ inability to match Trump’s fundraising or counter his 1.7% blue-collar wage growth, per June Treasury data, leaves them scrambling as Trump solidifies his base.
...

The Democrats' real problem is that they are out of touch with a majority of voters.  That is one of the reasons Trump is winning.  They are on a losing streak because the policies that are important to liberals are not important to 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.
