"Smart" liberals

Brent Bozell:

...

It is truly maddening to have the Senate Minority Whip, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, compare our military prisons to the concentration camps of Hitler and Pol Pot. It is reprehensible that the so-called "mainstream media" chose largely to ignore it. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised, given their track record. They also ignored Washington Sen. Patty Murray in December 2003, when she stirred up outrage by claiming Osama bin Laden was very popular with Arabs because he was building schools and day-care facilities. At least Sen. Murray wasn't being covered on television when she put her high heel in her mouth.

...

 Durbin has finally apologized for his outrageous affront. He did not apologize due to pressure from the so-called "mainstream media." He did so because some Americans heard it on cable news, talk radio or the Internet, outlets ever more reliable at the business of reporting news than their counterparts, who have lost sight of their most basic responsibilities.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

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.
