Venezuela regime under pressure

 PJ Media:

...


Right now, the Donald Trump administration claims that the growing military presence is simply part of its enforcement efforts to keep drug cartels from getting their products into the United States, but a source close to the administration told the New York Post on Saturday that the "clock is about to strike midnight for Maduro." 

While our country is leading the way, it's not just the U.S. putting that pressure on Maduro. As I reported last week, Ecuador, Argentina, and Paraguay all joined us in declaring Cartel de los Soles — Maduro's criminal network — as a Specially Designated Terrorist Organization (SDTO). Guyana also praised these actions, and I've seen other U.S. officials state that other Caribbean leaders welcome this type of pressure on Venezuela.  

Since I published my article on Thursday night, more countries are speaking up, including some outside the hemisphere. On Saturday, Norway Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide released a statement condemning Venezuela for the "increased use of forced disappearances, alleged instances of excessive use of force against demonstrators by State agents and unlawful killings, among other violations." The statement concludes: "Political violence must cease immediately and the Venezuelan people's right to freedom of expression and peaceful political participation must be respected."   

...

Maduro must not be popular inside Venezuela, too, since he appears to be cracking down on the population.  Venezuela has the potential to be a successful country under the proper leadership, but Maduro does not appear to be popular or successful.

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.
