Trump gets control of the border

Trump Delivers As Southwest Border Encounters Hit Record Low In July Amid U.S. Military Presence And Border Wall Construction Ongoing

Southwest border encounters once again hit a record low in July at 7,832, according to the latest numbers by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, amid continued U.S. military deployment to U.S-Mexican border and continued construction of the southern border wall in Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico.

That is the lowest on record in data dating all the way back to 2000. In 2025 alone, there have been 125,780 border encounters. That’s compared to 1.14 million from January 2024 to July 2024, and represents nearly a 90 percent reduction in just overall border traffic.

The difference of course is President Donald Trump declaring a national border emergency on Jan. 20 under the National Emergencies Act and deploying the U.S. military to the southern border, plus agreements with Mexico for them to police their side of the border with their own military. There’s a real deterrent now. Not to mention ongoing construction of the southern border wall now that the One Big Beautiful Bill has been signed into law.
...

I grew up near the border in the 60s, and the Trump results are pretty close to what was normal back then.  Most of the recent border problems were caused by Joe Biden and his open borders policy backed by many Democrats.  I suspect they thought they were importing future Democrat voters.

More than 200 days into this job, we have achieved operational security at the border. Zero illegal immigrants were released into the country in May, June and July.

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.
