Enhanced inspections halt border traffic from Mexico

 PJ Media:

Last week, Texas Gov Greg. Abbott ordered more thorough inspections of trucks entering and leaving the United States. The reason he gave was the effort to stem the flow of illegal aliens coming into the U.S. as well as the surge of drugs entering the country from Mexico.

The real reason was entirely political: to make life very uncomfortable for Joe Biden by publicizing his administration’s failures to protect the people in Texas and other border states from the uncontrolled wave of immigrants about to overrun the border when the public health rule known as Title 42 is lifted next month.
...

The wait times on the Mexican side of the border are at least four hours and can be as much as 12 hours. There are no bathroom facilities and little water.
...

Abbott is hoping that the added pressure from Mexican truckers will give additional weight to his protest against the Biden administration’s plans to lift Title 42. As it stands now, Abbott’s only hope — and the only hope of those who oppose insane border policies — is an expedited hearing before the Supreme Court.
...

It will probably take impeachment of Biden to stop the insanity at the border.  That probably will not come until after the 2022 election.

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
