Biden accused of pushing CRT racism in US

 Washington Examiner:

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has lashed out at a federal bill he says will push critical race theory on students across the country — setting up another showdown with President Joe Biden in the process.

In a release touting the state's improving test scores and focus on civics education, DeSantis also sharply criticized Biden and a bill called the Civics Secures Democracy Act, which he says will force public schools to teach critical race theory in order to receive $6 billion in federal grants.

“While the Biden administration is seeking to award grants to indoctrinate students with ideologies like critical race theory, in Florida we have focused on civics excellence, teaching accurate American history without an ideological agenda,” said DeSantis. “Our students and teachers have worked hard to elevate their civics excellence and are proving to the nation that Florida is the national model for cultivating great citizens.”

DeSantis, widely seen as a 2024 presidential contender, has been trading barbs with Biden for months, with the latter often the instigator in their exchanges. Biden heavily criticized DeSantis during the signing ceremony for an LGBT-focused executive order, accusing him of "going after Mickey Mouse," and also issued a veiled criticism while touting the COVID-19 vaccines newly available to young children.

In this case, DeSantis appears to be drawing first blood by attacking the civics bill, which was introduced in mid-June by a bipartisan group of senators. The bill aims to expand educational programming in history and civics, with funding available for state education agencies, nonprofit groups, and institutions of higher education and research, according to a release.

... 

I oppose CRT and Biden is being duplicitous in trying to make it part of a federal program that all red states oppose.

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
