Biden's Iran deal seen as strategic disaster

 Washington Examiner:

Israel's spy chief reportedly lambasted a pending Iran nuclear deal as "a strategic disaster" and "an agreement based on lies."

David Barnea, the director of Mossad, made the comments at a recent intelligence briefing with Prime Minister Yair Lapid, as reported by Israeli news outlets Haaretz, Channel 12, and Ynet. According to reports of the meeting, Barnea said he believes the United States and Iran will sign a nuclear deal within the next several weeks. He reportedly stressed that Israel will not be bound by the deal and may act however it sees fit.

"The agreement is the given situation, and one that we have not signed on to. We will do anything we need in order to defend ourselves against any threat, and there will be threats. We are committed to dealing with said threats, even if they are nuclear," the Mossad chief said, as reported by Haaretz.

IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL 'CLOSER NOW,' BUT 'WE'RE NOT THERE YET,' WHITE HOUSE SAYS

The Mossad director also dismissed optimistic claims that the deal would decrease Iranian attacks against U.S. and Israeli targets, saying that it would only embolden Iran. It would free up billions of frozen funds for its proxies and allied terrorist groups, such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, Ynet reported him as saying.

"Iran is, on one hand, negotiating in regard to the nuclear deal, and on the other hand is waging a terror campaign against the U.S., American targets such as John Bolton and Mike Pompeo and American military bases in Syria," he said, according to Haaretz. "This will continue to happen in the future, first and foremost against [Israel]."

Barnea said he believes the current deal in the works is even worse than the 2015 deal, as more information about Iran's military capabilities has surfaced.

"They are signing a similar deal to the one signed in 2015 but the world has changed. The Iranians had developed advanced centrifuges and the threats, and the technologies are different," he said, according to Ynet.

...

Iran is still an Islamist religious bigot state with genocidal ambitions against Israel. It is also a threat to other countries in the region.  Democrats in the US and a few countries in Europe seem to be the only ones supporting this bargain.  It is seen as dangerously idiotic by others.

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
