World leaders recognize Trump leadership

 Cannon Online:

Every Friday morning, I join the Cardle & Woolley Show on 1370 Talk Radio in Austin to announce the week’s Winners & Losers. Texas House Democrats came home empty-handed, so you might say this week marks the end of an error. Here’s who made the list:

WINNER: Trump’s “No Apology” Tour on the World Stage

President Donald Trump is transforming the way diplomacy works and how the world sees America. The stature Trump has gained around the world is a complete reversal of former President Barack Obama’s apology tours. Recall that in 2009, Obama told the G-20 Summit that he hoped for some “restoration of America’s standing in the world.” The same year Obama apologized to France and Europe for America’s arrogance.

With Trump in office, America’s standing in the world is crystal clear, and nobody worries much about style issues like arrogance. That was demonstrated when seven European leaders rushed to Washington, D.C. last week to join him and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a follow-up meeting to Trump’s Alaska Summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a session that would have taken previous presidents weeks to pull together, heads of state from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Finland and the head of the European Commission dropped everything over the weekend and flew across the pond.

Trump’s Alaska Summit did not yield much—as Trump predicted—but it did allow him to orchestrate the B-2 flyover, a not-so-subtle reminder of how, just weeks ago, they had wiped out the nuclear threat from Iran and changed the balance of power in the Middle East overnight.

Meanwhile, the European leaders acknowledged Trump’s critical leadership in ending the war in Ukraine. Italy’s president told Trump “something had changed since he got involved” and Finland’s president said flatly that they would not be as far along as they are without Trump. Sure, the European leaders have questions about his approach, but one thing they do not question is Trump’s commitment to bringing peace—he hates war. Europeans also hate war, and they know Trump is absolutely willing to do whatever it takes to stop the fighting. That’s why they came to Washington.

LOSER: Texas Quorum-Busting Democrats Are Back

The quorum-busting Democrats returned to Texas on Monday with literally nothing to show for their antics. The Texas House passed the new map adding five more congressional seats that favor Republicans, just as we knew they would, and Democrats threatened to take that map to court—again, just as we knew they would.
...

Texas Democrats are continuing their losing streak.  They are polling in the 30s in recent Texas polls.  Texas should not allow a party to disrupt the legislature by going AWOL.  When a party deliberately leaves, their absence should not impact a quorum.

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.
