Another bad week for Biden

 Jeb Babbin:

Biden’s week was another in a long string of disasters. The main attractions were his speeches, the Big Lie coming from his White House press secretary, and the Defense Department's announcement that Biden would reward failure.

The Big Lie this week came from Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, when she declared that people weren’t walking across our border from Mexico. She said it to a Fox reporter as his network was showing hundreds of migrants walking across the border.
...

Next, there was the appointment of MSNBC pundit Jeremy Bash to the Intelligence Advisory Board, the principal panel of "experts" who advise the intelligence committee on many secret matters. Bash previously insisted that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. Bash is comprehensively unqualified for the board.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced that all U.S. troops who served in Afghanistan during the Biden debacle last August and those who helped process Afghan immigrants would receive a special unit commendation. It was a shabby attempt to paper-over the failure of the bungled Biden withdrawal a year ago that left behind hundreds of American citizens, thousands of Afghan allies, and about $7 billion in weapons and other military equipment.

Biden’s speeches this week were grinding insults to the public. In his gun control address in Philadelphia, Biden made no mention of the crime wave that liberal prosecutors have produced around the country. Instead, he promised another "assault weapons" ban.

His big Thursday night speech, also from Philadelphia, riffed off his earlier statements that ‘"ultra-MAGA" Republicans were "semi-facsists." Speaking in front of Independence Hall, Biden said, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundation of our republic.” That’s straight out of the Saul Alinsky playbook for radicals: accusing your opponent of precisely what you’re doing yourself.
...

If there are sharp people in this administration, Biden keeps them away from the cameras.  Getting a campaign ribbon for one of the biggest debacles in history has to be a first.  It is right up there with debacles like Pearl Harbor being attacked by Japan. At least in that fight, the US troops did shoot back.

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.
