Biden's big Border Patrol lie

 Washington Examiner:

It takes an extraordinary amount of gall to order uniformed men into a dangerous situation that you yourself created and then, after they have done their job valiantly, defame them on national television.

But that is exactly what President Joe Biden did this week.

Thanks to his open invitation to illegal border-crossers (“You should come”), his catch-and-release policies, and his dismantling of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Biden has created an environment for the development of chronic humanitarian crises at the southern border.

One such crisis metastasized last week in Del Rio, Texas, where a shantytown of 15,000 Haitian migrants formed under a bridge linking the United States to Mexico. The migrants had been trickling through Del Rio for weeks, where Customs and Border Protection agents would process and release them into the U.S., which is Biden’s policy.

The migrants were only responding to incentives created by Biden. In cities throughout the U.S., the Haitian diaspora has been communicating with their friends and family throughout the hemisphere using Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp. Their message? Now is the time to come.

...

Last Sunday, a photographer from the Mexican side of the border photographed these mounted CBP agents in action, including agents using reins to control their horses. These pictures were then used by open-borders activists and their allies in the media to accuse the border agents falsely of whipping the Haitian migrants.

Biden apparently believed these lies. “To see people treated like they did, horses running them over, people being strapped,” Biden said while making a whipping motion with his hand. “It's outrageous. I promise you those people will pay.”

Except that no migrant was ever run over by any horse, and no migrant was ever whipped or strapped. The photographer who took the photos explained to a local news station, “Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses. I’ve never seen them whip anyone.”

The agents Biden defamed and the migrants he cruelly sent back to Haiti are all just collateral damage in Biden’s larger southern border strategy. It is not that Biden wants to facilitate a full-scale invasion of the southern border. It is that the radical leftists who staff his administration honestly believe that anyone in the world who wants to come to America should have the right to do so.

...

This is one more historical bit of hysteria that will be lodged against Biden's Presidency.  There should be ads brought against all the Democrats who tried to change the subject about Biden's immigration fiasco to this false narrative.

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
