DeSantis out does Biden in getting US citizens back from Israel conflict

 Washington Examiner:

Once again, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has delivered on a promise and upstaged the president in the process, proving that he is the most presidential candidate in the race on either side.

DeSantis vowed to help get Americans back from Israel as other countries began evacuation efforts after Hamas massacred over 1,000 civilians and kicked off a war in the region. President Joe Biden’s idea of an evacuation was to offer to transport Americans to Europe and force them to reimburse the government for the burden. DeSantis, meanwhile, partnered with Project Dynamo to evacuate Americans right to Florida at no cost to them as they flee a warzone.

This idea was mocked or dismissed by some, including former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who now serves as a domesticated Republican for CNN. And yet the first flight landed over the weekend, bringing 271 Americans, including 91 children, back to the U.S. and out of the danger posed to them by Hamas terrorists and their missiles. As DeSantis said, “There was a void of leadership, so we stepped up and led.”

...

This is the second example just during this crisis of DeSantis not simply being all talk and bluster. He didn’t just beat Biden (and former President Donald Trump) out of the gate with a statement: DeSantis contrasted Biden freeing up $6 billion for Hamas-backing Iran by proposing to expand Florida’s sanctions against Iran in response to Hamas’s slaughter of civilians, including at least 29 Americans.

...

This is more evidence of what an awful leader Biden is.  DeSantis is able to accomplish more even without the bully pulpit of the presidency.  Biden's freeing up billions for Iran is inexplicable.

 Florida stands with the people of Israel, and we will continue to help in any way we can as they fight back against Hamas terrorists.

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.
