Liberal media stumped by voter reaction to coverage of Trump-Putin press conference

Thomas Lifson:
I suppose that when NBC News commissioned its latest poll on President Trump's popularity in the wake of Helsinki, the network's people were not expecting it to rise to the highest level ever of his presidency. After all, the nearly unanimous media and "expert" reaction, including among many Republicans, was that something unspeakable happened in the press conference following the meeting with Putin. That was gospel.

But the American people failed to react as their media masters would have them do. MSNBC host Kasie Hunt complained, "We are living in a different space-time continuum, where even gravity works differently."

Well, it is certainly true that gravitas no longer works as well as it used to as a means of diminishing the president. Donald Trump violates the media-enforced norms of presidential behavior for sport. He has discovered that most Americans no longer trust the elites who have run government, media, education, and the cultural commanding heights.
...
Check out the video at the link above to see how flabbergasted the media is over Trump's ability to defy what they thought was political gravity. 

I think several things are at work here.  Trump voters do not trust Democrats and they do not trust the media that supports Democrats.  For one of the first times, a Republican President is no longer a stoic punching bag for the Democrats and the media and Trump voters hardily approve of his fighting back against what those voters see as a political con job by opponents of the President.

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.
