 Washington Examiner:

Dozens of members of Congress advise nonprofit group with ties to CCP-linked think tank

...

 The Humpty Dumpty Institute has since 2017 touted its partnership with the Beijing-based Taihe Institute think tank, which employs over a dozen current and former members of the CCP and People's Liberation Army as senior fellows. The Taihe Institute was one of three Chinese think tanks behind an August report that deemed the United States a "failed country" for its pandemic response and claimed that COVID-19 leaked from a military base in Maryland.

...

Members of the HDI Congressional Advisory Board, which as of late last week included seven Republicans and 26 Democrats, informally advise the nonprofit organization on its programming and are "active in HDI's domestic and international activities," the HDI said in November.

There is no evidence that HDI has ever sponsored congressional travel to China, and Republican members of the HDI Congressional Advisory Board told the Washington Examiner they weren't aware of the group's ties with the Taihe Institute, nor had they discussed any matters related to China with the group.

...

It does not sound like the kind of group I would want to be associated with.  Their assertion about Covid looks ridiculous.

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.
