Google accused of trying to hide information that would hurt Biden campaign

Washington Examiner:
Breitbart editor-in-chief accuses Google of systematically blacklisting conservative websites

...
A day after Big Tech platforms Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook removed a video of doctors advocating the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, Marlow told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he wasn’t surprised by the move.

"This is it. Freedom of speech in the United States right now is controlled by Google, it's controlled by Facebook, and it's controlled by Twitter," Marlow said on Tuesday night. "This is exactly why we saw these videos memory-holed from the internet yesterday."

Marlow accused the Big Tech platforms of acting as a cover for former Vice President Joe Biden’s White House campaign, adding that Google’s blacklisting of conservative websites “is 100% about the 2020 election and controlling the narrative.”

He said his staff has tracked Google's "Visibility Index," which works similarly to the Nielsen Rankings, for the past four years and that the data shows systematic bias against not only Breitbart but other right-of-center outlets. Marlow said that if an average person searches for phrases associated with the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, “the chances of you getting a Breitbart article are virtually zero.”

“We’ve done deep-dive research into our Google traffic comparing it to the 2016 election, and we picked that because we unearthed video a couple of years ago with our own Allum Bokhari, who reported on the global Vice President of Google Kent Walker, who said that he's going to endeavor to make nationalism or populism a blip or a hiccup,” Marlow said. “And we started looking at our traffic, and gradually since the 2016 election, Google’s been diminishing our search results, and then, all of a sudden in May of this year, we virtually lost all Google traffic, all search traffic altogether.”

In May, Google released details of an algorithm change to its search function, and the Washington Examiner has also noticed a sharp drop in traffic coming from the behemoth search platform since.
...
This blog has also seen diminished traffic since 2016 even though it is published on a Google platform.  Google is acting like "big brother" censoring content inconsistent with its agenda.  It seems to be promoting the evils of liberalism and suppressing conservative messages.  It could be vulnerable to an anti-trust action because of its manipulation of search results.

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
