The Biden week that was

 Red States:

It hasn’t been a good week for the Joe Biden administration. Inflation hit a record high, with PCI rising to 7.8% year over year. Meanwhile, Afghanistan is collapsing, with the Taliban capturing American hardware, including state-of-the-art drones. Regarding the border, the crisis worsens and a new video leak showed us just how bad things have gotten.

And then there’s COVID-19. The Delta wave is surging in places that Democrats insisted wouldn’t see surges as they were content to blame Florida for all the world’s ills.

So how’s that affecting public opinion? Well, the newest Yahoo poll is not good news for Joe Biden or Democrat 2022 hopes.
...

48% approval in a poll that has a Democrat +11 sample is about as big of a yikes moment as we’ve seen so far. Yahoo’s polls are also typically fairly kind to Biden. To see him below 50% here is a surprise. More surprising is that he doesn’t top 50% on any issue except COVID, and that’s by only a single percentage point.

These are awful numbers that only look to drop further. Our inflationary woes are not going away anytime soon. The situation in Afganistan is likely to deteriorate further, and that’s become a major embarrassment for the “adults in the room” that have so thoroughly screwed things up. Past that, it feels like the border is beyond repair. Even if Biden reversed course completely today, it’d take years to clean up the mess he’s made. None of this seems to be lost on most Americans, and the only thing making Biden look halfway alive political are Democrat sampling edges (like the D+11 here). When polls start to adjust for likely voters, things are going to get really ugly.

Issue by issue, Biden is also underwater on crime, guns, and race, with the latter showing that you can truly never be woke enough. Because the local officials in many of these high-crime cities are so far-left, specifically regarding elected prosecutors, Biden and national Democrats are never going to get the buy-in to rein in the carnage.
...

Yep.  It sounds like a good time for Biden to take a summer vacation and see if things get better with him not around.

For me, it is obvious that he is living down to my expectations for him and the Democrats.  The Congressional Democrats are pushing their ridiculous wish list of Bernie Sanders in a move to further destroy the value of the dollar while inflation is already galloping.

Biden says he bears ‘zero responsibility' for Afghanistan debacle

There is no evidence that he has done anything to stop the debacle.

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.
