Biden has no answer to this unpopular poicies

 Boston Globe:

What’s a president to do when his polling numbers are stuck in the basement?

Joe Biden is hoping to figure that out, trying speeches, and policy gambits, and photo ops. But as a White House event this past week showed, success isn’t coming easy.

After meeting with administration officials and baby formula manufacturers about the severe shortage here, Biden struggled to inspire confidence as reporters battered him with questions about that crisis and several others he’s facing.

Biden flatly admitted he didn’t know the formula shortage was a serious problem until April, weeks after the initial recall in February that triggered it. Asked what he would do about record-breaking gas prices, which have strained family budgets and driven up inflation, he argued they “could be higher” if not for steps his administration had taken and said he cannot “click a switch” and bring the cost down.

And finally, as he was walking out of the White House auditorium Wednesday, Biden was asked if he was confident Congress would pass gun safety legislation in the wake of recent mass shootings targeting elementary school students in Texas and Black grocery shoppers in Buffalo. “I served in Congress for 36 years. I’m never confident, totally,” he said. “And I don’t know. I’ve not been in on the negotiations that are going on right now.”
...

He could start by reversing his idiotic energy policies.  Deliberately driving up the cost of fuel and then buying it from our enemies instead of American producers makes no sense.  It is contributing to inflation which is another problem along with his out-of-control spending.

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.
