Democrats launch irrational attacks on GOP, Trump

 Susan Ferrechio:

Democrats haven’t had a very happy new year, thanks to a stalled agenda, mediocre poll numbers, and an increasingly dim outlook for their party in the November elections.

Lacking many significant accomplishments they can tout to voters, Democratic lawmakers have instead intensified attacks on the GOP, who otherwise stand poised to reclaim the House majority and perhaps the Senate 10 months from now.

The party seized on the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol to resurrect their effort to tie Republicans to the violent throng who stormed the Capitol and to link the GOP to former President Donald Trump, who they blame for inciting the attack by perpetuating, to this day, the claim that the 2020 election was rigged.

While party leaders said the daylong remembrance at the Capitol was to focus on those who defended the building or endured the attack, Democrats ensured Trump and Republicans loomed large.

President Joe Biden delivered a broadside against Trump in a speech marking the one-year anniversary.

Biden dedicated a significant chunk of his Capitol address to blaming Trump and his supporters for contesting the election results and inciting the mob who forced their way into the Capitol.

“The former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election,” Biden said. “He's done so because he values power over principle, because he sees his own interests as more important than this country's interest than America's interest, and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our Constitution.”

While Biden didn’t name Trump or any Republican lawmakers, Democrats have been ramping up a messaging tactic tying Republicans to the former president.

The Republican Party, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a speech marking the Jan. 6 anniversary, “was taken over by Donald Trump.”

Democrats and Biden could use a little political distraction right now.

Biden’s disapproval rating hit a new high last week from voters who frowned on his handling of the economy and the drawn-out COVID-19 pandemic.

Democrats in Congress are spinning their wheels, unable to advance Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better plan that was to serve as the centerpiece of his economic agenda and failing to promote the more popular, $1 trillion infrastructure bill Biden signed into law last year.

...

“It has been stunning to see some Washington Democrats try to exploit this anniversary to advance partisan policy goals that long predated this event,” McConnell said. “It is especially jaw-dropping to hear some Senate Democrats invoke the mob’s attempt to disrupt our country’s norms, rules, and institutions as a justification to discard our norms, rules, and institutions themselves.”

Democrats are committed hypocrites on the Jan 6 events.  They are the same party that approved of similar assaults on government buildings when they lost elections.  They exaggerate the events of January 6 for political reasons while the government has yet to charge a single person they have arrested with the things Democrats are claiming.  There has not been one person charged with insurrection.  Most charges have been for trespassing and "parading."

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
