Texas targets Venezuelan thugs

 KFYO:

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the State of Texas is taking steps to combat the violent Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua, also known as TdA.

During a Monday press conference, Governor Abbott declared Tren de Aragua a "foreign terrorist organization". The Governor announced that Texas will launch a statewide operation that will target the gang in an attempt to disrupt TdA's criminal operations. The move is also an attempt to stop the gang from gaining a large foothold in Texas.

According to FOX News, Abbott called on the Texas Department of Public Safety to elevate the gang to a Tier 1 gang and to create a "TdA Strike Team". This team would identify and arrest TdA gang members along with keeping a database that will help to identify which immigrants are part of the vicious gang.

I would think that the DPS could raid the El Paso hotel and arrest the thugs in charge.  That would likely result in gathering more evidence on the groups that could be used in a wider attempt to round up others.  There should also be an attempt to gather evidence against those in charge of the criminal organization.  They should not be allowed to mess with Texas.

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.

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.
