The case for Pam Bondi as AG

 The Federalist Wire:

...

In a decisive move, President-elect Donald Trump announced his selection of Pam Bondi as the next attorney general after former Representative Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration this past Thursday.

Bondi, a seasoned legal professional and former Florida attorney general, brings a wealth of experience and a strong history with Trump to the role.

Bondi served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019, earning recognition for her work on combating drug trafficking and opioid abuse. However, she gained national prominence as one of Trump’s defense attorneys during his first impeachment battle.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his admiration for Bondi’s track record, describing her as “very tough on Violent Criminals.”

“Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country,” Trump wrote. “She did such an incredible job, that I asked her to serve on our Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during my first Term — We saved many lives!”

Trump emphasized that Bondi’s leadership would be pivotal in reshaping the Department of Justice, which he criticized as being overly partisan.

“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore,” Trump added. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again. I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!”

Bondi has been a staunch ally of Trump since the 2016 primaries, solidifying their relationship during her tenure as Florida’s attorney general. After defending Trump during his impeachment, she briefly ventured into the lobbying world but remained a high-profile surrogate for the former president. Regularly appearing on media platforms, Bondi advocated for Trump’s policies and vision.
...

As a former general counsel, I recognized the importance of finding competent lawyers for working on transactions as well as for dense counsel.  Bondi has a track record that demonstrates her competency.  While I was an attorney in Texas I worked with Florida officials in reigning in securities fraud bad guys.

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.
