Political bias in the Biden run military

 Washington Examiner:

The dismissal of a Space Force commander for comments on two podcasts, in which he raised concerns that critical race theory is being promoted in the military, has triggered the outrage of GOP members of Congress.

In a letter Wednesday to Chief of Space Operations Gen. Jay Raymond and acting Air Force Secretary John Roth, two dozen members of Congress called for the reinstatement of Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Lohmeier. They wrote that "promoting critical race theory will disrupt the good order and discipline of the Space Force and eviscerate our nation's ability to attract patriotic talent to serve in uniform and fight our wars."

Critical race theory holds that systemic racism is part of American society and that historical prejudice influences the way minorities are treated today.

The lawmakers are worried diversity training is a euphemism for rooting out conservative ideologies and gave several examples of other service members criticizing Fox News personality Tucker Carlson and involved Minnesota police officers after the killing of George Floyd, or the military itself, without similar punishment.

The first signatory to the letter, Colorado Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, told the Washington Examiner that the expelling of Lohmeier is an example of bias against those who hold conservative opinions.

”I'm concerned that there is a double standard,” he said. “When people make politically correct controversial remarks, there are no consequences. If someone makes a conservative, controversial remark, they can get in big trouble.”

Lamborn said Lohmeier had begun to distinguish himself in the Space Force.

“Lt. Col. Lohmeier was a rising star with an impeccable record,” said Lamborn. “I think his stellar records should be part of the story about him.”
...

Lohmeier should be reinstated and should probably replace those responsible for this ridiculous decision.

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.
