Biden 'remembers' things that never happened

 Bonchie:

Joe Biden is a consummate BS artist. We’ve all known someone like him. They constantly put themselves at the center of every story, making up events and insisting they are far more important than they are. That’s Biden’s entire political career in a nutshell.

This lump of mediocrity has managed to be wrong about essentially every foreign policy issue of the last 50 years, and yet he still pretends he’s some strategic hotshot. Case in point? Today, the president added another lie to the list, claiming he served as a “liaison” during Israel’s Six-Day War. The problem? That’s not a thing that happened.

Now, the rebuttal here is going to be “well, he just got mixed up and actually meant the Yom Kippur War.” And while Biden, not being of sound mind, likely did mean his 1973 trip to Israel, the rest of his claim still doesn’t add up.

Was he a “liaison” during the Yom Kippur War? Not that I can tell. His trip came some 40 days before hostilities erupted. Further, it appears all he did was take a tour, after which he had a single meeting with the Israeli prime minister at the time, Golda Meir.

Laughably, but so on brand, Biden tried to share a bunch of horrible foreign policy advice such as urging Israel to unilaterally withdraw as a show of peace to the Arab threat. He also chided their supposed “creeping annexation.” Honestly, his comments could have been made in 2015, and you wouldn’t know the difference. This guy has learned absolutely nothing over the last five decades.

A declassified memo published by the Times of Israel last year offers some insight into what actually happened on Biden’s trip. He even managed to throw in some arguably veiled antisemitism.
...

Unfortunately he "remembers" a lot of things that never happened.  I get the impression he may have some fleeting thought and makes up stuff to fill in the blanks.

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.
