Dems still pushing for global teast at UN

Frank Gaffney:

They're back. The people who tried to defeat George W. Bush are the same people now trying to defeat his nominee for the United Nations, John R. Bolton.
And George Soros, MoveOn.org, the Democratic Party machinery and, not least, John Kerry hope to demonstrate, by so doing, they were right all along on what is, arguably, the most important national security issue of our time: Need America pass a "global test" to protect its vital interests?

...

In the 2004 campaign, John Kerry and his friends savaged George Bush for having an appropriately low regard for the current state of that institution. They reviled him for refusing to accede to the will of U.N. members like France, China and Russia -- who, it turns out, were paid handsomely by Saddam Hussein to veto any U.S.-led action to liberate Iraq. They heartily agreed with Secretary General Kofi Annan that such action was "illegal" because it ultimately was undertaken without U.N. blessing.
In the face of this assault, George W. Bush made no apologies. He took his case to the American people that the United Nations had ceased functioning as its founders envisioned -- as an engine for the protection and expansion of freedom.

...

Mr. Bush won on that platform. John Kerry and his ilk lost. Mr. Bush wants an ambassador to the U.N. who supported the aforementioned policies and stances and who will effectively represent them on the East River. John Kerry, Joe Biden, Barbara Boxer and Christopher Dodd think we should have an ambassador who reflects their popularly repudiated view.
The Democrats should not be rewarded for the bad conduct in their advise and desent role.

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.
