China needs to come clean on Covid origins are face sanctions

 Washington Examiner:

China hawks in the House and Senate are introducing bills to sanction the Chinese Communist Party if it does not allow a comprehensive investigation into COVID-19’s origins, including full access to the Wuhan labs, as Republicans seek to pressure China amid reluctance from the Biden administration to do the same.

Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, introduced the COVID Act of 2021 on Monday, with the companion COVID–19 Origins Accountability Act of 2021 being introduced by Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Wisconsin Republican, on Tuesday, and the duo proposed sanctions against the Chinese government and Chinese scientists if an independent and international investigative team is not allowed to examine the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other Chinese labs.

“The Chinese Communist Party does not want a full, forensic investigation into the origins of COVID-19. If they did, it would have happened at some point during the last 18 months,” Rubio said in a statement. “Instead of hoping the Chinese authorities will suddenly cooperate, the United States needs to compel them to cooperate. One obvious step in that direction is to cut off Federal funding for research conducted with these state-run Chinese entities. Additionally, we must impose sanctions against the leadership of these entities and exact a personal cost. It is time for the U.S. to take action and lead an international response that settles for nothing less than through a full forensic investigation of the Wuhan labs.”

...

The Chicoms act like they have something to hide and the World Health Organization is in their pockets.  The chances of getting a forensic examition of China's dealings with Covid are remote.

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.
