O'Rourke knocks Biden's border fiasco

 DailyWire:

Far-left Texas Democrat gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke, who has previously called for tearing down existing sections of border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, slammed Democrat President Joe Biden in an interview for his handling of the border crisis that has erupted under his administration.

O’Rourke was specifically knocking the Biden administration for its decision to end the use of Title 42, an emergency health order that allows federal authorities to quickly expel illegal aliens.

“It does not make sense to end this until there is a real plan and the capacity in place to handle those and address those that come over,” O’Rourke told The Texas Tribune this week. “I have yet to hear a plan from the Biden administration to address the dynamic we will have on the border once Title 42 ends.”

“Everyone is legitimately concerned about the lack of a plan,” he added. “We should hold the federal government accountable for doing its job, and they’re not doing that.”

After criticizing the administration for ending the use of Title 42, O’Rourke then claimed that the health order was detrimental to efforts to stop illegal immigration.

“What it has done is produced a situation where the same person is crossing multiple times a week, and under Title 42 that Border Patrol agent simply turns that person back around and then that person tries to cross the next day,” he said. “They’re not arrested, not detained, there are no consequences for someone who is not following our laws when they try to come into this country, and it means that this country is not following its laws when it comes to those who are trying to make a legitimate claim for asylum.”

Jeh Johnson, Obama’s secretary of Homeland Security, warned during an interview on Sunday that President Joe Biden was going to pay a steep political price for his continued crisis on the southern border as up to 18,000 migrants could be headed to the U.S. per day if the CDC lifts Title 42.
...

O'Rourke knows that Biden's border policies are a real loser in Texas so he is being critical of certain aspects of it.  This is how he is trying to straddle the issue.  Biden's border policies are turning the Texas border voters red.  Democrats have lost a big percentage of the Hispanic vote and that will be a killer for Democrats in a statewide race.

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.
