Why the response to the hurricane looks so inept

 Fox News:

Biden admin's FEMA 'equity' plan faces backlash amid historic hurricane damage: 'What an embarrassment'

FEMA states on their website that 'diversity, equity, and inclusion cannot be optional'

You want people coming to the rescue to be selected on merit, not DEI.  When the going gets tough you need tough people coming to the rescue.  By the way, the NFL and NBA teams do not select players based on DEI.

 The Biden-Harris Federal Response to Helene Is a Total Disaster

The Biden-Harris administration has yet again shown its complete inability to effectively manage disaster responses. From its appalling handling of the tragedy in Lahaina, Maui, to its blatant indifference toward the people of East Palestine, Ohio—and now the failure to properly aid the victims of Hurricane Helene, especially in Asheville, N.C.—the pattern is clear. Time and time again, we've witnessed an administration incapable of stepping up when it's needed most.

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.
