Biden tries to change the subject

 Washington Examiner:

President Joe Biden is desperate to change the subject. Amid his border crisis, the stall of the economic recovery he inherited, and his administration’s lethal and disorderly rout in Afghanistan, he is trying to pick a domestic political fight he thinks he can win.

This is the only sensible explanation for why Biden’s Department of Education has opened a civil rights investigation into the school masking policies of five Republican states — Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah.

The Biden administration claims that by giving parents the option of sending their children to school without masks, these states are violating the civil rights of students with disabilities that make them more susceptible to COVID-19.

No mention was made of any investigations into Democratic states allowing school districts to ban students with disabilities that prevent them from wearing masks from attending school . The civil rights of those students don’t fit Biden’s preferred political narrative, so they don’t count.

...

Biden has an on-and-off mask fetish.  It is like the "science" flips on and off in his brain when it comes to control freak policies.  I suspect he picked those states in hopes he could find a Democrat federal judge in one of them to go along with him.  The legal argument sounds like a reach.  It is interesting that he omitted Florida and Texas two large states that have the same policies but also two strong governors who have had success defying Biden's extremes.

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.
