Running against Fauci

 Washington Examiner:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week added “Fauci Can Pound Sand” flip-flops to his campaign website store. The sandals are part of a growing trend of Republican candidates taking aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci in campaign ads and fundraising as the November midterm elections approach.

DeSantis recently released a similar television ad targeting the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, saying he flip-flopped on COVID-19 mitigation efforts.

...

According to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll, 62% of Republicans said Fauci was doing a “poor” job handling the pandemic, while just 6% of those voters said Fauci was doing an “excellent” job — making him a safe target for Republican candidates to feature in ads and fundraising taking aim at mitigation efforts increasing in unpopularity with their base.

Multiple Republican candidates for governor, the Senate, and House have named Fauci in their ads or fundraising, while others have used his image without naming him.

...

I think Fauci was also one of those behind the disastrous lockdown policies in the initial stages of the pandemic and the two weeks to flatten the curve that never flattened. Many of the blue state governors continued the madness.  Fauci's flip-flops became notorious.

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.
