A Reminder of Biden as the 'Liar in Chief'

 Fox News:

After questioning whether it was unprecedented that GOP Congressman-elect George Santos could become a lawmaker with so many alleged holes in his background and résumé, Politico's Sam Stein was reminded this week that President Biden was once a senator.
...

The report prompted Stein to tweet, "Is there any precedent at all to this George Santos situation? Has Congress ever had someone with so many remarkable biographical holes?" Santos is facing accusations he lied about everything from his glitzy Wall Street career — Goldman Sachs and Citigroup have no record he worked there — to his family background and his educational pedigree.

However, some prominent conservatives reminded Stein of Biden, who last week made an unverifiable claim about giving his "Uncle Frank" a Purple Heart while he was vice president.

The Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller responded to Stein with several examples of Biden tall tales, writing, "The current president says he was imprisoned with Nelson Mandela and gave his dead uncle a Purple Heart. Would you like to know other things like his law school record or are you really being serious about this?"

"How dare you impugn the integrity of a man who was arrested marching with MLK," another user added.Journalist and Grabien.com founder Tom Elliott responded to Stein with a lengthy list of unverified Biden claims from his career and life, tweeting, "Biden claims: — Survived a fire — Arrested in civil rights march — Star football player — Once a truck driver — Arrested meeting Mandela — Son killed in Iraq — Overheard mass shooting — Top of his class in college — Hit a 368’ homer in baseball game — Had job at timber co."

And that was just one of four lists of alleged Biden lies Elliott tweeted out.
...

Townhall.com columnist Brad Slager provided a list of Biden claims for Stein as well, tweeting, "Joe Biden was raised Puerto Rican, had cancer, jailed with Mandela, arrested in civil rights, drove semis, played flankerback, his hometown rained oil, awarded a dead uncle the Purple Heart, went to synagogue on Sunday, and fought a drug dealer named Corn-Pop. Source: Joe Biden."
...

Some in the media seem to go deaf when Democrats are lying.  Besides Joe Biden, there were also big lies by "Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who falsely claimed he "served in Vietnam," and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who was forced to apologize after repeatedly identifying as Native American over the years."  They give the impression that they are insecure about their real resume.

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
