The 'fantasies' of Virginia AG nominee

 National Review:

Virginia’s Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones should drop out of the race “immediately,” President Donald Trump said Sunday, days after National Review reported a series of texts in which Jones fantasized about killing former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

“It has just come out that the Radical Left Lunatic, Jay Jones, who is running against Jason Miyares, the GREAT Attorney General in Virginia, made SICK and DEMENTED jokes,” Trump said, referring to NR’s report on a 2o22 text exchange between Jones and his former colleague, Republican House Delegate Carrie Coyner.

“If they were jokes at all, which were not funny, and that he wrote down and sent around to people, concerning the murdering of a Republican Legislator, his wife, and their children.”

In the texts, Jones described a hypothetical situation in which he had a gun with two bullets and was presented with two dictators and House Speaker Todd Gilbert. He’d shoot Gilbert twice “every time,” he texted Coyner, who in turn rebuked him. Jones also accused Gilbert and his wife of “breeding little fascists” and admitted that he would “piss on the graves” of Virginia Republicans who died before him, among other things.
...

Normal people don't have such fantasies in my experience.  While people can have political differences with the opposition, they generally are just trying to win an election and not eliminate their opponent.

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.
