Al Qaida groups threaten attacks on US

 Newsmax:

The National Counterterrorism Center issued a sobering memo Friday warning that U.S.-designated terrorist group al-Qaida and its Yemen-based affiliate, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, remain intent on striking America.

In a nationwide advisory distributed to law enforcement, the agency said the groups are seeking to exploit ongoing global conflicts and U.S. involvement overseas.

Al-Qaida and al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula "are likely seeking to leverage their media publications and global conflicts, particularly where there is U.S. support or military involvement, to inspire potential attackers," the memo read.

The National Counterterrorism Center, created in 2004 after the 9/11 attacks, urged government personnel to heighten vigilance.

Officials were told not to share travel plans online, to avoid carrying badges or IDs outside of work, and to stay alert for surveillance.

The memo also highlighted soft targets, including sporting events and concerts, urging local authorities to deploy visible law enforcement and conduct pre-event security briefings.
...

Muslim extremists remain at war with the US.  While the group has taken a beating since the 9-11 attacks, those that remain are still intent on making war with the US at home and abroad.  The US should not be content with increasing threat awareness. The US should be prepared to hit the Islamic religious bigots where they live.

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.
