Dems see little hope for their agenda going forward

 Newsbusters:

...

Becoming more despondent, Todd turned to correspondent Josh Lederman and sulked “Student loan debt, Prescription drugs, Josh, I mean, these are big ticket promises that the Democrats have made for a long time.”
...

Lederman admitted the White House knows “this might be the last major achievement” they enjoy. Former Republican Florida Congressman Carlos Curbelo thought there might be “a window for climate” change legislation because there is a “growing bipartisan consensus on climate.”

Senior opinion writer for The Boston Globe Kimberly Atkins Stohr ended things on a low note for the mostly liberal panel by bemoaning how “Democrats have shown time and time again” that they are very good at talking about the “problems that need some kind of policy or legislative solutions” while “Republicans find issues that they can campaign on and win elections on.”

Stohr noted that the current crisis at the border is a perfect example of Democratic messaging failures noting “Democrats haven't acted, for example, to get out ahead of Title 42 and pass something in order to deal with this exigent issue, knowing that you had this basically expiration date on this policy and it would have to end sometime. They’re just starting that space now.”

She ended by wailing “Republicans are already campaigning against it. Democrats are always two steps behind!”
...

I do not think there should be a bipartisan agreement on climate.  It has been mainly a leftist agenda to what is basically a none problem.  For 50 years they have been pushing gloom and doom and it is not even close to happening.  The border crisis is not a messaging failure, it is a disaster willfully accelerated by Biden in much the same way he is responsible for inflation and the price of energy.  The fact that Democrats think they have a messaging problem tells you why they have not solved the real problem.

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
