Trump getting crime's under control in DC

 PJ Media:

...

According to the White House and federal law enforcement, there have been over 600 arrests since this crackdown began. Among them, authorities arrested 251 individuals who are in the country illegally, and, incredibly, they took five actual murderers off the streets. The Metropolitan Police Department even confirmed that there hasn’t been a single homicide in the city for more than a week, a stunning reversal in a city that’s been drowning in violent crime. 

And Trump, never one to shy away from doubling down when something’s working, isn’t backing off. In fact, he’s taking it to the next level. On Thursday, Trump announced he’s going to patrol the streets alongside police officers and National Guard troops. Most politicians would hide behind talking points and surrogates. Trump is grabbing a ballistic vest and going straight to the problem. 

Democrats are going to lose their minds watching him do it, and that’s precisely the point.

Trump’s critics may have groaned about authoritarianism, but the statistics revealed a whole other story. Violence is down in D.C., guns and killers are being pulled off the streets, and law enforcement finally has the backing of a president who doesn’t flinch when the media howls. Democrats can’t stand it because Trump is exposing their failure to govern. Washington may hate it, but ordinary Americans are watching this unfold and wondering why Democrats have spent more energy whining about "federal overreach" than they ever did about innocent people getting murdered on their way home from work.

Trump is again showing his critics are wrong.  DC has a long history of criminal activity.  When I lived in the area in the 1960s after getting out of the Marine Corps, I worked for a DC newspaper and covered the police beat.  It was a busy job just keeping up with the criminal activity.

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.
