Trump and Media question the Biden Pardons

 DC Daily Journal:

The Trump administration is wasting no time digging into the questionable actions of its predecessor, with a sharp focus on the flurry of last-minute pardons issued by former President Joe Biden. On Tuesday, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy confronted White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, brandishing copies of Biden’s pardons and raising doubts about their legitimacy. Holding up documents with suspiciously uniform signatures, Doocy pointed out that most appeared to be autopen-generated, with one messy signature standing out as potentially authentic.

“Most of the big pardons have the same, very neat signature. We would expect that probably to be the autopen. There is one that looks different, it looks authentic, in fact if you look at the last name it looks like the former president was having a hard time spelling his last name there. Is this White House of the opinion that the only pardon that would count is one that the president signed himself for Hunter Biden?” Doocy asked, pressing Leavitt on the validity of the documents. His question cuts to the core of concerns that Biden’s administration may have relied on automated signatures to push through controversial pardons, potentially sidestepping proper authority.

They looked questionable from my perspective, too.  I am also not sure Biden had the mental state to deal with such an issue.  Congress should delve into who was actually making the pardon decisions and why they wanted to make them.

The personal physician of former President Joe Biden is being subpoenaed by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, to give testimony as allegations of a cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline continue to boil.

“No autopen was used in the signing of this subpoena,” Comer wisecracked on X, making a reference to Biden’s use of an autopen.

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.
