FBI not forthcoming on Democrat threats to parents

 Washington Examiner:

...

"We received the Federal Bureau of Investigation's half-page response to our serious concerns about the FBI’s use of counterterrorism resources — as evidenced by documents provided to us by a whistleblower — to target concerned parents at local school board meetings," the GOP members said. "Your response declined to answer in detail any questions we posed or to provide any documents we sought. Your response regrettably highlights the FBI’s pattern of refusing to accept accountability for its actions and explains why public trust in the FBI’s senior leadership has eroded so significantly."

Jordan and the others wrote on Thursday that the Biden administration "coordinated" with the National School Boards Association "to develop a pretext" for Garland "to direct federal law enforcement resources, including the FBI, to investigate concerned parents at school board meetings.”

The GOP members’ outrage stems from a brief note Jill Tyson, the assistant director of the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs, sent defending Garland’s controversial memo and the FBI’s actions in late January, largely dodging the detailed questions that House Republicans had repeatedly posed to the bureau for months by saying officials were "not in a position to provide internal documents or communications between the Department of Justice and the FBI."

...

I question the FBI jurisdiction to police local school board meetings, especially against concerned parents.  It appears the Biden administration is siding with the CRT kooks in some school districts.  School board meetings do not fit the "jurisdictional means" to trigger federal law enforcement.

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
