Reckless Dems trying to shut down government

 Federalist Wire:

...

Senate Democrats are ramping up calls for a high-stakes confrontation with Republicans, urging their leadership to block bipartisan funding deals and force a government shutdown this fall in a bid to challenge President Trump’s agenda. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy stands at the forefront of this aggressive strategy, insisting that Democrats abandon cooperation on appropriations bills needed to sustain federal operations for the next fiscal year.

“Every single day, there’s new evidence that our democracy is falling, and you’ve got to take stands. You have to take fights,” Murphy told Politico in an interview. “I just worry — every time that we go along with these appropriations bills, we’re putting a bipartisan veneer of endorsement on an illegal process that’s ultimately part of his [Trump’s] campaign to destroy our democracy.”

Murphy’s stance comes amid growing demands from the party’s far-left wing for Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer to escalate opposition to the president, potentially refusing to back any funding agreement in September and triggering widespread disruptions.

The three-term senator has positioned himself as one of the most vocal opponents of Trump in the initial 200 days of his second term, consistently rejecting the president’s nominees and legislation that garnered cross-aisle backing in the Senate.

Murphy recently aligned with fellow Trump detractors, such as Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, during the launch of the “F*** Around And Flip The House” tour on August 3, fueling speculation about his ambitions for a 2028 White House bid.

This refusal to engage with Republicans on funding arrives as Senate Majority Leader John Thune confronts a September 30 deadline to avert a lapse in government services, emphasizing GOP willingness to collaborate for the required 60 votes while cautioning that Democrats would bear the blame for any resulting chaos.
...

It is the Democrats who are making war on democracy by trying to shut down government institutions.   They are letting their Trump hatred overwhelm common sense.  They are acting like they are the sole determinant of what the government can do.  They have been left-wing crazy ever since Trump was democratically elected.

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.
