Media trying to ignore illegal immigration

 Newsbusters:

On Friday evening, in a transparent attempt to hide the news as much as possible, the Department of Homeland Security released the highly anticipated border numbers for the month of September shortly after 11 p.m. The numbers were worse than expected and were historically bad. Since the big three evening newscasts had three days to digest the numbers, you would think they’d have the report ready for Monday’s newscasts.

Sadly, that was not the case. On Monday, all three evening newscasts ignored the devastating numbers from the ongoing Biden border crisis. Instead, ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News had plenty of time to report on local weather forecasts, the Powerball Jackpot numbers hitting $625 million, and a recall of various dry shampoo products.

As usual, it was left to Fox News Channel’s Special Report to do all the journalistic heavy lifting. Anchor Bret Baier — being the only real journalist left hosting a nightly newscast — was quick to report on the numbers. “We're getting a look at the border crossing numbers tonight from September. And they are shocking,” a stunned Baier announced.

Baier then turned to correspondent Bill Melugin for the full report from the border:

In what some critics describe as a blatant news dump, DHS released highly anticipated September border numbers late Friday night past 11:00 P.M. Eastern. And they are historic. The numbers reveal there were more than 227,000 migrant encounters in September. The highest September in DHS history. And the equivalent of two full-capacity University of Michigan football stadiums. Fiscal year 2022 ended with nearly 2.4 million migrant encounters. That's equivalent to the population of Houston and it's the highest fiscal year ever recorded. Not including 600,000 known got aways in a year.

Even more scary was the fact that there were 98 arrests of illegals crossing the border who are on the FBI’s terror watch list.
...

These numbers do not include the hundreds of got aways who are probably more likely to be criminals and terrorists.  The Biden administration's immigration policy is a disgrace and worthy of impeachment.  The drug cartels use the immigrants who do report to the Border Patrol to make it easier for the got aways to sneak in.

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
