Vance responds to media nonsense

 Newsmax:

Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, refused to allow liberal media talking heads to carry the Democrats' late-election narratives, beating back NBC News' Kristen Welker and CNN's Jake Tapper attempts to pin "threat to democracy" and "enemy within" narratives against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Vance was presented the "enemy within" narrative by Welker spinning Trump's words saying Democrat leadership is a bigger threat to American security and prosperity than foreign enemies.

"What he said, and I do agree with this — what he said is that the biggest threat we have in our country, it's not a foreign adversary, because we can handle these guys," Vance told NBC News' "Meet the Press." "We can handle foreign conflicts.

"We can't handle — look, under Nancy Pelosi's long life in public leadership, the United States has gone from the preeminent industrial power of the world to second, next to China. That fundamentally belongs on Nancy Pelosi's shoulders, and if we're going to have a more prosperous country, we've got to recognize our own leadership is why we lost our industrial base to China.

"Our own leadership is failing to lead this country into peace and prosperity. That's a way bigger threat than any foreign threat. And, yes, it's caused by broken leadership."

Then, in a contentious CNN interview with Tapper, another presidential debate moderator Trump has debated in debates, Vance beat back the continued effort against the Republican ticket again late in this election cycle to use former Gen. John Kelly's Trump animus and the "enemy within" narrative — conflating it with using the U.S. military to keep peace during violent anti-America riots.

"On things that I know that he said, you're impugning things," Vance told CNN's "State of the Union." "You're taking words out of context. You're taking two separate conversations and pretending they were made at the exact same time."

Vance said Tapper was taking Trump's words out of context for political expediency in late October.

"He said that he wanted to use the military to go after far-left lunatics who were rioting," Vance told Tapper in a contentious back and forth. "He also called them the enemy within.

"He separately, in a totally different context and a totally different context, in a totally conversation said that Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff were threats to this country."
...

Vance has been a good selection by Trump.  He can take on the media and the Democrats and make the case for Trump and the Republicans.  Vance comes across as a skilled lawyer.

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.
