Abandoned..

According to a scoop obtained by Axios, Senate Democrats were told in a blunt meeting on Wednesday about the urgent need to abandon their usual narrative on the border, focusing instead on reducing border crossings as well as increasing legal pathways to citizenship, reforming the asylum system and expanding access to humanitarian aid outside of the U.S.

They were briefed by Andrea Flores, a top staffer with the bipartisan FWD.us political organization, at their policy retreat in Virginia. 

The briefing criticized the Biden administration for not properly articulating their stance on immigration, a strategy that, according to Flores, ultimately helped Republicans.

What else from the Biden's era to be abandoned by the American People ?

The Bru..

A surprise victory by Pakistani Chinese  -made jet fighters in an air battle with Western-made Indian aircraft has triggered alarm in the global defense industry.

The opening of hostilities between India and Pakistan saw one of the largest air battles in modern history.

U.S. officials told Reuters that Chinese-made Pakistani J-10 aircraft shot down French-made Indian Rafale jets with Chinese PL-15 air-to-air missiles. 

The fact that its first combat deployment witnessed its triumph over its western equivalent is likely to serve as a major boost to the Chinese defense industry.

Tanked..

The US is learning from the war in Ukraine that tanks will no longer be able to charge forward in combat like they used to because they're vulnerable to enemy attacks with cheap drones, the new Army secretary said.

The amount of sensors on the battlefield, the amount of ability from both sides to see what's going on" has created a situation in which Army commanders cannot push tanks "as far forward in the formation as you used to be able to because very cheap drones are able to take them out of any usefulness," he said.

"We have got to be a lot leaner," the secretary said. 

Comment:

A lot learned recently from the conflict in the Ukraine.  Now we we need Doge in this new era.  Just a thought.

Dog Fight..

Wednesday's military exchange between India and Pakistan in their respective controlled areas of Kashmir and the Pakistani province of Punjab reportedly included a "dog fight" between fighter jets of both nations, in which Pakistan claims they downed five Indian fighter jets.

The "dog fight' was the "largest and longest in recent aviation history," a senior Pakistani security source told CNN. An estimated 125 fighter jets engaged with each other in the air for over an hour, the source said, adding that missiles were being exchanged at distances of up to 160 kilometers (100 miles).

There is always a desire for war, which will deplete your economic resources, human resurces and end up with more hate than before the fight begins. Just a thought.

Toppled..

Longtime labor leader George Gresham was toppled by his former lieutenants in a contentious race to lead the nation’s largest health care union.

Gresham, who became president of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East in 2007, lost his reelection bid by a resounding margin to challenger Yvonne Armstrong, who leads the union’s long-term care division, according to data reviewed by POLITICO.

The union is conducting an independent review of Gresham’s spending, after a nine-month POLITICO investigation revealed that he had long used members’ dues money to benefit himself, his family and political allies. 

The House Committee on Education and the Workforce subsequently asked the U.S. Department of Labor to investigate.

After years of reducing its reliance on Russian gas, the European Union is moving to turn off the taps completely within the next two years.

The European Commission (EC) on May 6 presented a detailed roadmap to fully sever the European Union’s energy dependence on Russia by 2027.

Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen struck a defiant tone when announcing the plan: "No more shall Euros go into (Russia’s) war chest. Your gas will be banned. Your shadow fleet will be stopped."

The plan has been described as the bloc’s most comprehensive effort yet to end imports of Russian gas, oil, and nuclear fuel, a dependency critics argue has long compromised EU sovereignty and funded the Kremlin’s war machine in Ukraine.

Energy that comes to our continent should not pay for a war of aggression against Ukraine," EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen said on May 6, adding: "We owe this to our citizens, to our companies, and to our brave Ukrainian friends."

Comment:

Can anyone in the EU say let us end this war? You still need energy from someone else and will pay twice as much......Just a thought.
