DEI loses in Supreme Court

 Newsmax:

The Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump's administration to proceed with millions of dollars of cuts to teacher training grants - part of his crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives - in a setback on Friday to eight Democrat-led states that have challenged the policy.

The court put on hold Boston-based U.S. District Judge Myong Joun's March 10 order requiring the Department of Education to reinstate in those states funding for grants under two teacher training programs while litigation in the case continues.

The eight states - California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Wisconsin - sued after the Department of Education announced on February 17 that it had cut $600 million in teacher training funds that were promoting what it called "divisive ideologies" including diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, or DEI.
...

Grant recipients received a standardized letter notifying them that the Department of Education does not support programs or organizations that promote DEI "or any other initiatives that unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin or another protected characteristic."
...

I support the administration's efforts to return to merit-based hiring instead of diversity, equity, and inclusion.  As I have noted before, professional sports teams like the NFL and NBA don't select players based on DEI.  They select the best players they can find regardless of their race and other characteristics.

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.

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.
