Dems losing ground with voters

 New York Times:

The Democratic Party Faces a Voter Registration Crisis

The Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters long before they even go to the polls. Of the 30 states that track voter registration by political party, Democrats lost ground to Republicans in every single one between the 2020 and 2024 elections — and often by a lot. That four-year swing toward the Republicans adds up to 4.5 million voters, a deep political hole that could take years for Democrats to climb out from. The stampede away from the Democratic Party is occurring in battleground states, the bluest states and the reddest states, too, according to a new analysis of voter registration data by The New York Times. The analysis used voter registration data compiled by L2, a nonpartisan data firm.

That has been the case here in Texas, where Democrats are no longer the dominant party they were decades ago. The Biden-Harris administration was a disaster for the Democrats.  Joe Biden had obviously lost a step after he was elected, and he was never that bright to begin with.  Kamala Harris just did not come across as smart.

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.
