Majority want Biden impeached

 Andrea Widburg:

In terms of strong political feelings, Democrats and Republicans are pretty evenly divided in America. It’s the independents who shift political outcomes in America. That’s why it matters that a Rasmussen Reports survey shows that 50 percent of Independents would like to see Joe Biden impeached. When you add that to the Republicans and, believe it or not, the Democrats who want him out of office, there’s a majority dreaming of a Biden impeachment.

Rasmussen Reports is behind a paywall, but Townhall helpfully summarizes the conclusion:

According to a new Rasmussen Reports survey, Republican and Independent voters overwhelmingly agree that Biden should be impeached, along with a third of Democrats.

Overall, 52 percent of likely U.S. voters say they would support the impeachment of Biden, with 38 percent saying they would strongly support it.

The poll margin includes 77 percent of Republicans, 50 percent of Independents and 32 percent of Democrats who would like to see the current president get booted from his position.

That’s the good news. Now for the bad news: America’s voters have taken the measure of the Republican party and believe that, even with an impeachment wind at their back, congressional Republicans probably won’t do a darn thing to call Biden to account:

47 percent believe it is likely the GOP will attempt to impeach the president, while 43 percent don’t see it happening in his first term. 

Since the likelihood of Biden having a second term is as close to zero as something can be without being impossible, if Republicans don’t impeach Biden in 2023 (assuming they have a majority in Congress), he’ll never be called to answer for his conduct.

...

I think it is likely that the House will vote for impeachment.  That will put the Democrats in the Senate into the position of having to defend Biden's incompetence and willfully disastrous policies.

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
