Media attempts to dispute Biden's open border policy

 Newsbusters:

...

Then came a clip of then-candidate Biden dated September 12, 2019:

I would, in fact, make sure that there is -- we immediately surge to the border all those people who are seeking asylum. They deserve to be heard -- that's who we are. We're a nation that says, "If you want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come."

The clip came from a debate hosted by Raddatz's ABC colleague, George Stephanopoulos. Even though Raddatz had taken part in the post-debate discussion, she still claimed she had never heard Biden say the border would be open.

Concha soon commented:

Martha Raddatz, Rachel, went into this interview on a mission -- not for the truth in the name of journalism and not getting to the true story of what's happening on the Southern border, which is in a crisis -- she went there to push a narrative, a narrative that says that what's happening at the border is simply fearmongering by Governors Abbott and DeSantis and the former President Trump.

The two Fox News regulars recalled that illegal immigrants had been seen wearing T-shirts praising Biden. In fact, in October 2021, Fox & Friends Saturday showed video of the leader of one of the caravans saying that President Biden had encouraged them to cross.
...

The fact that Biden is also forcing Arizona to remove its border wall also indicates he wants the borders open.  There is also the fact that he stopped the construction of the Trump border wall.  The attempt to say Biden did not favor open borders is not sustainable.  He is facilitating open borders with his 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
