Biden admits his campaign was based on fallacy

 Washington Examiner Editorial:

With the new CDC guidance essentially acknowledging what we stated here earlier, that everyone in America is going to get COVID and there is no point in fretting about infections anymore, President Joe Biden has admitted that his entire presidential campaign was based on a fallacy.

The only hope he had of defeating former President Donald Trump was to use the coronavirus against him, blaming Trump for the virus's spread and promising that he would "shut down the virus, not the country."

After a year, Biden has spectacularly failed in keeping this promise. The new CDC guidance is an admission that there will be no shutting down the coronavirus, not now and not ever. Biden had a year to deal with the virus, and now it is spreading faster than ever before. It is not because of anything specific he did — it is because his promise to fix it was never sincere.

In fact, it was a promise that Biden never had any business making. The virus was not Trump's fault nor did it spread especially fast because of anything Trump did. Indeed, Biden has now retreated from his talk of defeating the coronavirus and embraced Trump's position that the virus is a problem best handled by state and local governments — that there is "no federal solution" to the COVID pandemic. This was always true, and it took Biden a very long time to admit it. It must be hard to admit that everything you campaigned on for president was disingenuous.

...

The Biden campaign had to know that what he was saying was untrue.  They went along with it because of their Trump hatred and their own lack of integrity.

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
