Response to Kirk murder shows difference between left and right

 Newsmax:

Yesterday’s memorial service in Glendale, Arizona for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk brought into crystal clarity the defining difference between America's political left and right.

Charlie saw violence and division in the world, and answered with communication — with friendly debate, the exchange of ideas. His murderer didn't like Charlie's message, and his answer was violence.

And answering anything disagreeable with violence was not just the response of one deranged assassin who took Charlie's life — it's the response of most people on the left.

Twitchy managing editor Sam Janney reminded us of it yesterday.

"Following the death of George Floyd, our country was a mess of unhinged maniacs rioting in cities, burning buildings, looting, destroying historic landmarks, and harassing innocent people in their homes," she recalled, concluding that "we are not the same."

During the 2020 "Summer of Love" riots following Floyd's drug overdose death while in police custody, rioters racked up a record-breaking $2 billion in property damage. They looted and burned down businesses, many of them minority-owned.

In addition, dozens of innocent people were killed and injured, including one elderly man who was merely trying to protect his store — his livelihood. Rioters left his face bloodied and his jaw broken.

Compare that to a video that Newsmax contributor Nick Sortor posted on X, together with this commentary:

"HOLY CRAP! There are still 14 HOURS until Charlie Kirk's memorial in Arizona starts, and HUNDREDS of patriots are ALREADY lined up," he said.

"Many of them from THOUSANDS of miles away. They're talking about Charlie, praying for his family, and are excited to fight for our country."
...

Floyd died from a drug overdose, and Kirk was murdered.  If the left can't see the difference, they are being willfully blind.

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.
