The media's dishonest support for Biden

 Micheal Goodwin:

...

NBC News, for example, embarrassed itself by insisting that the president is “trying to hone a positive economic message that breaks through, even though many voters say they still don’t feel the effects of his policies in their day-to-day life when it comes to the cost of basic groceries and gas.”

Subtext: These stupid people are so much better off under Biden than they realize, so he has to explain it to them.

That’s the media’s sneaky way of calling Trump supporters deplorables and bitter clingers to God and guns.

Some people never learn.

If NBC were honest, it would note how inflation under Biden wrecked family budgets, and that he has just a 41% approval for his handling of the economy against a staggering 58% disapproval, according to the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls.

The network might also add that, with far more American saying they were stronger financially when Trump was president than they are under Biden, the incumbent can’t go near the question Ronald Reagan made famous:

Are you better off now than you were four years ago?

Most Americans would answer no, hell no, which is why NBC won’t touch it.

The answer would also be lopsided against Biden on questions about the southern border, foreign policy and crime. All of which is relevant to the reason this debate is being held so early in the campaign.

The timing is a sign of Biden’s desperation and could mark his last stand.
...

Few things would be better for most Americans than for Biden to lose the 2024 election. Biden engaged in reckless spending that triggered inflation and on his watch wars broke out in Europe and the Middle East.  Biden's cognitive decline has made it hard for him to even hold many press conferences. His attempt to criminalize Trump is desperate and disgraceful.

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
