US continues to back Israel in conflict with Iran

 DC Daily Journal:

...

The escalating conflict between Iran and Israel has thrust the Middle East into a precarious moment, but President Donald Trump’s calculated approach may prove to be a historic turning point. With tensions flaring since Israel’s preemptive strikes on Iranian military targets last Thursday, Trump has positioned the United States as a decisive force, carefully navigating the delicate balance between deterrence and diplomacy. His administration’s strategy, rooted in strength and clarity, aims to neutralize Iran’s nuclear ambitions while avoiding a prolonged conflict, showcasing a leadership style that contrasts sharply with decades of hesitation from previous administrations.

Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, appearing on Fox News’ Hannity on Wednesday, praised Trump’s approach as potentially transformative. “Well, when historians look back and say ‘Did Donald Trump really make a difference?’ Think about this. The original Ayatollah Khomeini first started calling us the Great Satan in 1978. Iranian mobs began chanting death to America in 1979 when they seized, illegally, the American embassy,” Gingrich said. He highlighted the long-standing hostility from Iran’s regime, framing Trump’s response as a critical departure from past U.S. policies that allowed Iran’s provocations to fester unchecked.
...

Trump’s public statements have been clear and direct, reinforcing his administration’s stance. On Tuesday, he took to Truth Social to issue a stark warning to Iran’s leadership after urging Tehran’s residents to evacuate the previous day. “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (k*ll!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote.
...

Iran is worse off now than it was before it began its war against Israel.  While Israel is much smaller than Iran, its military is clearly superior to that of Iran.  Iranian leaders have to be wondering if God is not on their side after they started this war.  Not only is Israel's military superior, but its leadership is vastly better than that of Iran.  Iran would be wise to back off.

"It's about time the world stands up to them now, as Israel has, and tell them, 'No way, not anymore: Get the nukes out of your system, and start behaving like a normal nation should in the family of nations,'" Herzog told "The Record With Greta Van Susteren" in an exclusive interview recorded Wednesday.

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?

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.
