Democrats are losing on the issues

 Washington Free Beacon:

...

About 80 percent of Americans "believe police departments can be fully funded, prosecutors tough on crime, and officers who abuse their power properly disciplined," according to the poll. The view is at odds with statements made by congressional Democrats. Members of the far-left "Squad" have frequently supported the defund the police movement, which advocates for reallocating funds from law enforcement to mental health care and community services. Democratic megadonors like George Soros have also contributed to the recent elections of progressive districts attorney, including Philadelphia's Larry Krasner and San Francisco's Chesa Boudin, who have pursued lighter sentencing, less incarceration, and the elimination of cash bail.

According to the poll, almost 70 percent of voters are worried "growing aggression from China is a threat to America," and 56 percent "believe Fentanyl coming across the southern border from China is the leading contributor to overdose deaths in America."

The Biden administration has a mixed record regarding Beijing. It has accused China of taking "aggressive actions" in the South China Sea and slapped the regime with some economic sanctions. But it has also lobbied members of Congress against legislation that would ban imports of Chinese goods produced with Uyghur slave labor. The United States did enact a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics but still sent athletes to the games in February.

Customs and Border Protection seized nearly twice as much fentanyl in fiscal year 2021 as the year before. Most of seizures occurred on the U.S.-Mexico border. The data, which was quietly released in September, came months after Senate Democrats voted in April against an amendment that would have funded "opioid detection activities" at the southern border. The CDC also reported in November that drug overdose deaths are at their highest level ever.

Around 67 percent of voters surveyed "believe the southern border should be secured and illegal border crossers returned to their country of origin." Last year the nation saw the highest number of illegal border crossings in history, with 1.9 million arrests made. During President Joe Biden's first six months in office, deportations dropped to their lowest level in decades, falling by roughly 90 percent. By the end of 2021, Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported just 55,590 illegal immigrants—a 70 percent decrease from the year before.

Most voters—54 percent—said Biden's policies to fix inflation will hurt America's economic recovery. Inflation reached a 40-year high in January, spurred on by the Biden administration's trillions of dollars in COVID spending relief. Gas prices reached a seven-year high in October, following executive orders signed by Biden that banned new natural gas and oil permits on federal lands. The president also blocked further construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Nearly 63 percent of voters, according to the Trafalgar poll, "believe America can further develop domestic natural gas and oil production without putting the environment at risk."

Finally, almost half of Americans—48 percent—"believe parents should have greater authority than teachers' unions in directing the education policy in their local school districts." The tension between the two came into high relief during Virginia's gubernatorial election, when Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe said parents shouldn't "be telling schools what they should teach." Public sentiment also shifted after the National School Board Association collaborated with the Biden White House on a controversial letter that called on the FBI to investigate parents as domestic terrorists.
...

Democrats seem totally out of touch with the voters.  They act like they have a mandate for crap people do not like are want.  I think the Republican advantage in the 2022 election is that they are not Democrats.

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
