The end of 'sanctuary city' nonsense in DC

 DC Daily Journal:

...

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Thursday the termination of Washington, D.C.’s sanctuary city policies, demanding the swift removal of measures that have long shielded illegal immigrants involved in crime from federal authorities. This directive comes as part of President Donald Trump’s aggressive push to federalize law enforcement in D.C., placing the Metropolitan Police under direct oversight to tackle surging violence and decay that have plagued the city under years of Democratic leadership.

...

Good riddance.  What the city is trying to do is ignore US immigration laws, and in the process, they have made the city more dangerous.  There should be no "sanctuary cities" in the US for illegals.

...

President Donald Trump is delivering on his promise to make America safe again, starting right in the heart of our nation’s capital. In a move that’s got leftists squirming, Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department is finally stepping up to work hand-in-hand with federal immigration enforcers. This game-changing order from Police Chief Pamela A. Smith marks the death knell for DC’s disastrous sanctuary policies that have shielded criminals for far too long.

“Officers in Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department can now assist federal immigration authorities,” as the chief laid out in her directive. This means local cops can share critical intel during routine traffic stops and even help transport immigration agents and their catches. It’s about time – no more coddling illegals while American families suffer.

This shift comes hot on the heels of DC’s liberal elite finally admitting defeat. Since 2020, the city has been handcuffed by a sanctuary law that blocked cooperation with ICE, turning the capital into a magnet for lawbreakers. But Mayor Muriel Bowser is pushing to scrap that nonsense, and White House Border Czar Tom Homan didn’t mince words: “DC was ‘not going to be a sanctuary 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.
