Terrorism has gotten much worse under Obama

NY Times:

A Year of Crisis as Terrorism Becomes ‘Our New Normal’


  • For Turkey, the murder of the Russian envoy was a bookend to one of the most turbulent years in its modern history.
  • For Germany, the market attack pointed to an ominous future.
His biggest error was his retreat from Iraq which allowed al Qaeda in Iraq to reconstitute as ISIL.  That one mistake has led to genocide and an expanded terror threat against the US and its allies.  ISIL, al-Qaeda and other groups such as the Taliban have also taken advantage of Europe's asylum policies to exploit them and use them as an entry into the West where they can engage n mass murder for Allah attacks.

It all happened on Obama's watch.  His release of terrorist from Gitmo was also a huge dud.  As Gen. Mattis has said, "The enemy has a say when a war is over."  That is something Obama did not seem to comprehend and more people on our side have been killed as a result.

Wars end when you persuade the enemy that its cause is hopeless.  On too many occasions, Obama gave hope to the enemy in the vain belief that it would lead to peace.

It should be noted that other western leaders also screw up such as Angela Merkel in Germany.  Europe is reaping a whirlwind for supporting refugee policies that have let the enemy inside the gates.

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.
