Nikki Haley blasts Biden response to Russian aggression

 Washington Examiner:

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Sunday that the United States needs to "stop reacting and start leading," citing the U.S.'s unwillingness to cut off Russian oil imports.

Haley called it "absolute lunacy" that the U.S. would accept Russian oil imports as the country continues its brutal invasion of Ukraine.

"We need to stop taking any Russian oil. The idea that we would give our money to an enemy is 'unthinkable' and it's absolute lunacy. We can't allow this to continue," Haley said on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures.

Haley said the U.S. government needs to lead with "strength and deterrence," which she said "we're not getting" under the Biden administration.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed Sunday that the U.S. and European partners were weighing banning Russian oil imports.

Republican Leaders Furious Over Reports That Biden Admin Is Seeking To Import Oil From Venezuela

The administration has also been trying to get the Saudis to open up their spigot.  These moves might make some sense if they are aimed at supplying European allies who are also sucking on the Russian oil tit.  That Biden is not opening up US drilling and pipelines raises serious questions about his strategy.  By not doing the obvious and increasing US production Biden has earned the criticism.  At this point, Biden looks like he is still pandering to the climate kooks in the US in a bizarre way.  He is acting like US producers are the enemy and not the Russians.

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
