Dems using paid protestors against Trump

 DC Daily Journal:

...

A 400% spike in inquiries to crowd rental company Crowds on Demand has revealed a wave of paid protesters in Washington, D.C., following President Donald Trump’s August 11 decision to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and deploy 800 National Guard troops to address violent crime.

The move, aimed at enhancing public safety in the nation’s capital, has drawn criticism from local officials, with the orchestrated protests raising concerns about the authenticity of public opposition.

Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, reported to Fox News Digital that inquiries for protest services from May to July 2025 soared compared to the same period in 2024. “A large share are focused on opposing Trump’s policies in Washington and raising alarms about government overreach,” Swart said, noting his company is cautiously reviewing requests.

He added that most attendees at D.C. political events are paid, including Capitol Hill staffers, stating, “Many protesters are literally on the payroll. That doesn’t mean they don’t support the cause, but these crowds aren’t as ‘organic’ as they appear on TV.”

Trump invoked Section 740 of the 1973 D.C. Home Rule Act to justify the federalization, citing incidents like the August 3 attempted carjacking of former Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward Coristine, who was injured.

In a Truth Social post, Trump declared, “Criminals in the city are not afraid of the police because nothing ever happens to them,” emphasizing the need for federal intervention.

The deployment, supported by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, includes 100-200 Guard troops for logistical support and 120 FBI agents, with 23 arrests reported on the first night for crimes including homicide.
...

The reliance on paid protesters, as revealed by Swart, has sparked skepticism on X, where users criticized “rent-a-protest” tactics. One post read, “If you can’t get real protesters into the street, pay people to play at protesting.” Another remarked, “How can these even be considered protests? Sounds like a job.”
...

The Dems' rent-a-mob program has been exposed.  It is mainly for show.  The media needs to do a better job of exposing the scam.

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.
