Governors coverup of crime in Illinois

 Federalist Wire:

...

Democratic Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker took a stroll through a cherry-picked, low-crime neighborhood in Chicago on Monday, posting a video on X to paint a rosy picture of the city’s safety. “We have a lot of people running, having a great time. Doesn’t feel like a hellhole here. In fact, everybody’s having a great time and enjoying themselves. So, I don’t know who in Washington thinks that Chicago is some sort of hellhole, but, you may need to look inward,” Pritzker said, taking a direct jab at President Donald Trump.

But this carefully staged photo-op in a safe enclave does little to mask the harsh reality that Chicago’s crime problem is far from under control, and Americans are growing weary of Democrat leaders who downplay the chaos.

President Trump didn’t mince words when addressing Chicago’s dire situation. “Chicago is a mess. You have an incompetent mayor, grossly incompetent, and we’ll straighten that one out probably next, that will be our next one after this, and it won’t even be tough. And the people in Chicago, Mr. Vice President, are screaming for us to come,” Trump declared from the Oval Office.

His promise to tackle Chicago’s crime follows a successful crackdown in Washington, D.C., where, since August 7, federal intervention led to 1,007 arrests and the confiscation of 111 illegal firearms, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. Trump’s no-nonsense approach resonates with Americans fed up with soft-on-crime policies.

Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, both Democrats, have dismissed Trump’s plan to deploy the National Guard as unconstitutional, with Johnson claiming on August 11 that it would “undermine” public safety. But their resistance feels more like political posturing than a genuine concern for Chicagoans. Johnson even accused Trump of spreading misinformation about crime stats, despite the city’s troubling history.
...

It is more than weird that the Presdient is more interested in the safety of Chicago residents than the governor and mayor.  Trump has already shown how effective his policies are in Washington, D.C.   Why are the mayor and governor pretending all is OK in Chicago?  They should be thanking Trump for increasing the safety in the city.

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.
