The Harris Vogue piece

 DC Daily Journal:

...

Vice President Kamala Harris is back in the media spotlight, this time gracing the cover of Vogue as part of a puff piece on her “race to the finish” in her presidential campaign.

As usual, the fashion magazine went out of its way to shower Harris with praise, completely glossing over her political missteps and focusing instead on her image.

“It happens only rarely that individuals are summoned overnight for acts of national rescue, but in late July Kamala Harris received one of those calls,” Vogue breathlessly declared, as if Harris were the country’s savior rather than a politician struggling to resonate with voters.

Harris’ supporters were predictably trotted out to sing her praises, with the cover dubbing her the “candidate for our times.”

One voter, Yvette Young, even claimed, “It brought back a feeling that’s been gone for me since Donald Trump came down the escalator.”

Quite the comparison — Trump sparked a movement, while Harris has struggled to connect even with her own party.

Another voter, Tyreisa Williams, said, “I like the way she’s handled criminals and gun law,” though Harris’ record on crime has been widely criticized for its inconsistency and political opportunism.

In typical fashion, Vogue didn’t hold back in fawning over Harris’ appearance, gushing over the navy Chloé suit she wore during the Democratic National Convention.
...

The Vogue writer appears to be acting more like a fan girl than a serious political writer.  Harris comes across more like a California Valley Girl than a serious political figure.  If she is the best the Democrats have, which I doubt, that part is in serious trouble.  They could be in even more trouble if she wins.

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.
