Biden's Stalin like speech on voter integrity

 Thomas Lifson:

President Biden escalated his already inflammatory rhetoric over election integrity safeguards yesterday in a speech delivered in Philadelphia.  Having previously denounced basic measures such as requiring voter ID (an almost universal requirement in other advanced democracies) as “Jim Crow on steroids,” he claimed, “We're are facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War,” a shockingly irresponsible comparison.

Facing the grim (for them) reality that the public overwhelmingly (78%!) supports voter ID requirements, Biden is figuratively shouting louder and louder, as if extreme rhetoric were persuasive.

It’s almost as if Democrats realize that if they are unable to cheat, they won’t win national elections.

But the most interesting moment came when Biden echoed a comment widely attributed to Stalin (though left-wing “fact checker” PolitiFact disputes it):

It's no longer just about who gets to vote or making it easier for eligible voters to vote. It's about who gets to count the vote

... 

This was one of the most outlandish speeches by a President in history.  I can understand why Biden was such a poor law student.  He confuses logic with hyperbole while denying he is engaged in hyperbole.

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.

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.
