Biden's son is newsworthy

Erick Erickson:
From Friday to over the weekend, from The View to CNN to MSNBC to various newspapers, pundits were outraged Republicans would go after Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. In fact, one MSNBC anchor blasted conservatives for going after Biden’s only living son.

Sorry media and Democrats, Hunter Biden, his cocaine habits, and his business dealings are very fair game. In fact, for all your routine bashing of Trump kids, what can you expect. Biden has some seriously screwed up kids.

Now, I tend to think we should leave children alone. After all, they didn’t ask for their dad to run for President. That hasn’t stopped the left from going after Trump’s kids. But…but…but you say, Trump’s kids are getting rich off the Presidency.

Ah-ha! Now you see my problem with Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden enriched himself based on being the child of a Vice President of the United States. He had no marketable skills in any way, shape, or form related to that Ukrainian company, but somehow got a seat at the table. Why? His daddy.

Same went for business in China.

Democrats circling the wagons on Joe Biden can hardly be surprised Republicans are circling the wagon on Donald Trump. After all, Trump really did believe the B.S. reporting about Joe protecting Hunter. He believed it. He wanted to find out if the former VP was abusing his office to protect his son. At least that is how Trump supporters see it.
...
I have been curious about this from the moment it was first reported and I have also been curious about the media attempts to defend what looks like obvious corruption.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
