The Hill:

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) says a new poll that shows him a a top choice among Texas Republicans to run for Senate has him thinking about the race.

"It's certainly crossed my mind," Paul told The Ballot Box of a potential run for Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's (R-Texas) Senate seat next year.

New numbers out Wednesday from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling found Paul was second only to Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst (R) among Texas Republicans asked who they want to see run for the seat in 2012.

...
I suspect these were name recognition polls more than a true reflection on who the Texas GOP will pick. Paul has his ardent supporters who see him as a rock star, but he also has a segment who see him as a libertarian kook. Dewhurst has been a rather quite Lt. Governor. One of his strengths is that he can bring a lot of money to a race. Some of the candidates who are less well known will have to hustle to get the kind of financing this race is going to take.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

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.

  @amuse @amuse · 4h DOGE: So-called career civil servants are openly defying the president. FEMA employees continue to divert disaster relief funds from hurricane victims in Western North Carolina to illegals in NYC. AG @PamBondi needs to make an example out of these people. Quote Elon Musk @elonmusk · 4h The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order. Some of these people need to be fired.
