Trump's intel chief was right about Hunter's laptop

 Washington Examiner:

Don't count ex-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe among the former U.S. intelligence honchos who have gone silent after the New York Times made them look foolish by admitting the Hunter Biden laptop was not the Russian disinformation campaign they claimed it was.

Ratcliffe fired off a pair of tweets in the wake of the New York Times's acknowledgment of the long-obvious authenticity of the laptop, which contains damning images of President Joe Biden's son smoking crack, lurid text and email exchanges with various women, and dozens of apparent references to his shady international business dealings.

"Wait, @nytimes admitting that ⁦⁩@JohnRatcliffe was telling the truth and ⁦⁩@AdamSchiff was politicizing false intelligence?" Ratcliffe tweeted Friday. "Are we sure this is not an ⁦⁩@TheBabylonBee headline?"

...

"This is the clearest example of improper influence in the 2020 election. ⁦⁩@CBSNews, ⁦⁩@NBCNews, @nytimes, @washingtonpost, @twitter peddled deliberate falsehoods by @AdamSchiff⁦⁩ over official statements by USIC, DOJ/FBI," Ratcliffe tweeted.

The New York Times buried its admission deep in a story reporting that federal prosecutors in Delaware are investigating the president's son for foreign lobbying violations related to his overseas business dealings in places such as China, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan while his father was vice president.

...

What we are learning from the Russian collusion hoax and Hunter's laptop is that Democrat operatives are willing to believe things that are not true and repeat those false claims for political purposes to attack Donald Trump.  We are also learning that the left-wing media is eager to repeat those lies if they could be used against Trump and that social media is willing to censor the truth to hurt the Trump campaign.

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
