Al Gore's snooping scheme

 DC Daily Journal:

...

Privacy is important for Americans. But this ex-VP couldn’t care less.

And a former vice president launches a new spy satellite for terrifying surveillance purposes.

In a move that’s got privacy advocates and everyday Americans fuming, former Democratic Vice President Al Gore is spearheading a coalition that’s deploying artificial intelligence and a fleet of satellites to snoop on pollution right down to your neighborhood block. This isn’t some sci-fi thriller—it’s real, and it’s aimed at pinpointing emissions from individual homes and backyards worldwide.

According to AP, Gore’s outfit, called Climate TRACE, is all about monitoring methane leaks that supposedly trap heat in the atmosphere. But now, they’ve ramped it up big time, expanding to track soot—those tiny particles that pollute the air—on a hyper-local level in over 2,500 cities around the globe.

The timing couldn’t be more ironic. Gore unveiled this upgrade mere hours after President Donald Trump blasted climate change as “the greatest con job” in the world during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

Trump didn’t mince words, slamming the whole global eco-agenda and those taxpayer-funded international bodies that act like they’re above accountability.
...

I have long been a "climate change" skeptic.  Outside my door this morning, the temperature is 75, and it is sunny.  The sky is obviously much clearer here than it would be in Pasadena near Houston, where there are several chemical plants.  But the pollution from the chemical plants does partially block the rays from the sun, which could make it actually cooler, like being under the shade of a live oak tree.

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.
