Why Democrats are losing

 Matt Lewis:

It has been said that you should never let a crisis go to waste, but what do you do when Donald Trump is out of office (and suspended from Facebook) and the news slows to a crawl?

Invent an emergency, of course!

When Trump was in office, COVID-19 was a crisis and every unmasked presidential appearance all but an act of potential genocide. With Biden, it’s time to turn the page, even as the death count has mounted.

With Trump sidelined, for now, and Biden plummeting in the polls, Democrats and the liberal media have returned again and again to the manufactured emergency to try and control the narrative. Remember the Georgia voting law (ridiculously called Jim Crow 2.0)? How about the viral images of border agents whipping Haitians seeking asylum? (After the agents’ actions were condemned by Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, it turned out they were merely split horse reins.) Or how about one from the Trump era that is relevant again: Russia paying bonuses for dead American troops? (There seems to be no evidence this happened.)

Meanwhile, real emergencies like the border, Afghanistan, crime, and inflation were downplayed by the Biden administration and the MSM… until ignoring these problems became impossible.

Biden and Democrats Should Be Absolutely Terrified by New Poll Numbers

“All the mistakes of the mainstream media, and CNN in particular, seem to go in one direction. Are we expected to believe that this is all some sort of random coincidence?” a conservative student asked CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter during a conference at the University of Chicago a few weeks ago.

Another student asked journalist Anne Applebaum, “Do you think the media acted inappropriately when they instantly dismissed Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation? What can we learn from that and ensuring what we label as disinformation is truly disinformation and not reality?” Her reply, that Hunter’s laptop was “totally irrelevant,” struck me as dismissive.
...

There is more.

Liberals in the mainstream media still think they are the smartest people in the room when they clearly are not.  That is why their credibility is in tatters.

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
