The Biden cover-up

 Red States:

...

Now, it isn’t like the Republicans aren’t trying, but it’s challenging when you’re not the party in power and when the Biden team appears to be running a cover-up on the issue.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) — the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee — explained they have a ton of Suspicious Activity Reports — 150 reports — regarding Hunter Biden and Jim Biden transactions, but now, the Biden Administration has changed the Treasury rules to make it harder for Congress to get those reports and thus, harder to uncover the problems. He said that would likely put them at the top of the list for reports. Comer previously said the Treasury Department was trying to thwart the GOP effort and had falsely represented that they’d turned over the requested documents to Congress.

...

Rep. Ron Johnson (R-WI) laid out some of the issues — including the question of Hunter Biden’s payments to Eastern European prostitutes who may have been allegedly part of a trafficking ring, and that Joe Biden may have funneled the money to Hunter that helped pay for some of those transactions. Johnson also laid out how Biden had canceled a DOJ initiative to investigate the Chinese theft of our intellectual property in the university system. Johnson said this was putting in danger our national security.

Johnson used the term “enormous coverup” and detailed how Congress wasn’t getting the answers from the DOJ when they asked about what was going on here in terms of any sort of investigation, that the FBI had the laptop with what Johnson said was a lot of criminal activity, and Johnson expressed concern that if there was a plea agreement with Hunter Biden, it might also involve a sealing of the records which would prevent people from finding out more or addressing all of the problems.

...

This is another story where I get the impression that the FBI is not aggressively trying to investigate Hunter or the other Bidens.  Their apparent failure to dig into the material on Hunter's laptop is troubling.  I see no good excuse for their failure to cooperate with the a Congressional investigation.

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
