Democrats have little credibility in fight over healthcare

NY Times:

‘It’s a Leadership Argument’: Coronavirus Reshapes Health Care Fight

Joe Biden and other Democrats were already talking about health care before the coronavirus, but the outbreak gives new urgency to a central issue for the party.
The Democrat leadership from Obama on down lied to get Obamacare passed and they mainly lied to other Democrats who were reluctant to embrace government healthcare.  Those lies were a major reason why they lost control of Congress. 

They only regain control of the House by lying about alleged collusion with Russians to win the 2018 election.  In the latter event, they were aided and abetted by dishonest reporting of the media.  The media has further lost credibility with its outlandish coverage of the coronavirus epidemic. 

They have been so locked into finding excuses for defeating the President that they blundered from the Russian collusion hoax to a Ukraine impeachment debacle and their coverage of the virus is their latest.

The irony is that these bogus charges have made the President stronger.  If they were not so committed to unfair reporting they might have been more effective.  Now the President's supporters do not trust them at all and they can't wait to vote against the media and Democrats.

Joe Biden may not be as crazy as Bernie Sanders, but he comes across as an addled pervert to many.  Not being a commie probably will not be enough for him to win a general election.

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.
