Pentagon to send troops to Chicago

 Newsmax:

The Pentagon plans to deploy the U.S. military to Chicago as President Donald Trump seeks to crack down on crime, homelessness and undocumented immigration, The Washington Post reported Saturday, citing officials familiar with the matter.

The planning, in the works for weeks, involves several options, including mobilizing at least a few thousand members of the National Guard as soon as September, the Post reported.

Chicago is among 19 states targeted for the deployment of an estimated 1,700 National Guard to aid in immigration enforcement and crime fighting in Democrat-run cities in 19 states throughout the U.S., the Daily Mail reported.

The forces will be used to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security, according to the report. The deployments are scheduled to begin in August and run through at least mid-November, with Texas expected to host the largest presence.

The states include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming. Troops will handle support roles such as case management, transportation, logistics, and clerical work, while also helping deter crime.

Increasing the force-to-space ratio in an area makes it more difficult for criminals to avoid capture and therefore reduces crime in an area.  DC has already seen a reduction in crime.  It is a tactic that the military often uses in controlling criminal activity.

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.
