New York Mayor indicted following complaint about migrant crisis

 The Federalist Wire:

...

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump addressed the federal indictment of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, expressing that he had long anticipated such an outcome.

Speaking to reporters from Trump Tower, Trump reflected on the situation, connecting Adams’ vocal stance on the city’s migrant crisis to the mayor’s legal troubles.

Though Trump acknowledged that he does not know Adams well, he highlighted the mayor’s efforts to confront the migrant crisis in New York City. According to Trump, Adams’ criticism of the federal government’s role in the issue may have contributed to his current predicament.

“I watched about a year ago when he talked about how the illegal migrants are hurting our city, and the federal government should pay us, and we shouldn’t have to take them,” Trump told reporters. “And I said, ‘You know what? He’ll be indicted within a year.’”

Trump continued, pointing to what he sees as a troubling misuse of federal resources. “I was exactly right, because that’s what we have. We have people that use the Justice Department and the FBI at levels that have never been seen before.”

Adams, who is now facing mounting calls to step down, has previously claimed that his outspoken criticism of the Harris-Biden administration’s handling of the migrant crisis made him a target.

The crisis, which is expected to cost the city more than $12 billion by 2026, has been a central issue for the mayor in the latter half of his first term.

In a pre-recorded video released on Wednesday, Adams echoed his stance, stating, “I always knew that if I stood my ground for all of you, that I would be a target, and a target I became.”
...

 That appears to be the response of the Biden DOJ to the political opposition of people like Trump and Mayor Adams. Congress and the courts should be looking into what appears to be an abuse of power.  The Biden administration should be held accountable for its actions.

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.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

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.
