Trump focus on issues Biden ignored

Crime The president has decided to take tough measures to reduce crime and early indications from DC is that, like the border policy, it seems to be working to make dc safer. So one has to wonder why these issues like the open border and high urban crime problems were allowed to fester rather than be tackled head on. And even obviously exacerbated for a few years resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. But even more of a mystery is why we allowed over 75,000 people to die of fentanyl in 2023 and about 50,000 to die in 24. The president is now taking that problem head on and far more people die by opioids there than by gun or even in motor accidents and yet it’s barely discussed. One wonders why the border, crime and opioids were not front and center in the last administration that instead focused on equity and climate change when 100,000 lives a year could be saved here with the right policies.

I think the issues were allowed to fester by the Biden team becasue they thought they would benefit from illegal immigration.  The open borders did result in facilitating the drug merchants of death.

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.

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.
