Biden wants to re-up on Obama's terrible Iran deal

 Stephen Green:

That Obama-era Iran Deal retread that Presidentish Joe Biden won’t stop pushing just entered dangerous new territory.

The Administration has dropped one crucial demand after another in pursuit of a deal, any deal with Iran, no matter how crazy or dangerous. Two of the most egregious retreats occurred in the last few days.

The Gatestone Institute’s Khaled Abu Toameh warns that the White House has “effectively decided to sacrifice the Arabs, their interests, demands and fears in order to appease Iran.”

Not to mention America’s own interests, which as president, Biden is supposed to pursue.

Earlier this year, Biden unilaterally dropped sanctions on Iran’s nuclear program put in place under President Donald Trump. The hope was to entice Tehran into negotiations. The result was to encourage the Mullahs to demand even more.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) warned at the time, “As a result of President Biden’s weakness and appeasement, this administration is ramping up to give a nuclear arsenal to the Ayatollah in Iran.”

Nevertheless, the White House last week found new ways to kowtow to Iran.

Sayed Zahra, writing for the Middle East-based Akhbar Al-Khaleej, reported last week that the U.S. “decided to waive the demand to include the role of Iran’s terrorists in the region.” Iran sponsors terrorists in Iraq, Syria, Gaza, the West Bank, and elsewhere. And in Yemen, Iran’s proxies have been waging a brutal civil war for years.

Nevertheless, Zahra wrote, “Biden decided not to address this issue at all, nor the role of terrorist militias affiliated with Iran in the Arab countries.”

State Department officials also dropped objections to Iran’s ballistic missile program. So they’d be free to develop long-range delivery systems for the nukes they’ll continue developing, new deal or not.
...

There appears to be no intelligent life within the Biden administration from the President on down.  Iran should be treated as the pariah state that it is and ostracized as much as possible.

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
