Trump sends troop to Chicago

 Newsmax:

President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of 300 Illinois National Guard members to Chicago on Saturday to protect federal officers and property, as the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Border Patrol agents shot and injured a woman during a confrontation on the city’s southwest side.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the president approved the deployment in response to what she described as “ongoing violent riots and lawlessness” that local leaders had not controlled.

“President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities,” Jackson said.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that Border Patrol agents were “rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars” before agents exited their vehicle and fired “defensively” at a suspect who allegedly tried to run them over.

A DHS spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, said the woman who was shot, identified as Marimar Martinez, was armed with a semiautomatic weapon and had been mentioned in a Customs and Border Protection intelligence bulletin last week alleging she had posted personal information about agents online.

Martinez, a U.S. citizen, was treated for her injuries and later taken into FBI custody, DHS said. A second suspect, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, was also apprehended. No federal officers were seriously injured, according to McLaughlin.

Chicago appears to have let lawlessness prevail in the city.  The attacks on the Border Patrol should not go unnoticed.

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.
