Texas continues to defend its border

 DC Daily Journal:

...

On Tuesday, the Texas National Guard continued to install razor wire along the U.S.-Mexico border after the Supreme Court decided that the Biden administration had the authority to cut through or remove it.

“The Texas Military Department continues to hold the line in Shelby Park to deter and prevent unlawful entry into the State of Texas,” Texas said in a statement.
...

“We remain resolute in our actions to secure our border, preserve the rule of law, and protect the sovereignty of our State.”

On Monday, the Supreme Court voted 5–4 in favor of the Biden administration.

The order stated that Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh would all have refused the Biden administration’s motion.

On Tuesday, images emerged showing the state of Texas doubling down on its efforts to stop President Joe Biden’s illegal immigration issue by laying razor wire along the border.

“The Texas National Guard continues to hold the line in Eagle Pass,” said Governor Greg Abbott.
...

“Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden’s absence.”

The razor wire was built as part of Operation Lone Star, which Abbott initiated in March 2021 in response to Biden’s refusal to enforce U.S. immigration law and his policies, which have resulted in an increase in illegal immigration along the southern border.

Chris Olivarez, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), emphasized Operation Lone Star on social media on Monday night.

“The State of Texas, under Gov. @GregAbbott_TX ’s Operation Lone Star, will maintain its current posture in deterring illegal border crossings by utilizing effective border security measures – reinforced concertina wire & anti-climb barriers along the Rio Grande,” said Olivarez.

“The logical concern should be why the Federal Government continues to hinder Texas’ ability to protect its border, all while allowing for the exploitation, dangerous, & inhumane methods of permitting illegal immigrants, including children, to illegally cross a dangerous river where many have lost their lives. Texas is the only state using every strategy & resource to protect its sovereignty, combat criminal activity, & discourage illegal immigration. #Texas will continue to hold the line.”
...

I do not have the impression that the US Border Patrol favors Biden's absurd open borders policy.  Nor does the majority of US citizens.  Biden has opened the gates to millions of illegals entering the country and has made the borders less safe.  Texas is continuing to stop an invasion of illegals.

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
