John Kerry is a man who started his political career with lies about Vietnam troops

With John Kerry Pick, Biden Selects a ‘Climate Envoy’ With Stature

Mr. Biden said he would name Mr. Kerry to a cabinet-level climate post, a role laden with political and diplomatic challenges in the post-Trump era.

John Kerry made claims of war crimes against his fellow troops which were unfounded.  While they all denied his claims, it was clear to me he made up some of them when he suggested that his claims were known at all levels of command.

For a time I was Assistant Commander of the 3rd Marine division Communication Center.  I spent several days and nights reviewing all message traffic before sending it out to addressees.  In the thousands of messages, I saw there were none which alleged events that would be war crimes.  None.  I suspect that what Kerry was relaying were what I would call "sea stories" where troops make up things to impress each other with how badass they pretended to be.  I later served as executive officer of a rifle company of Marines on the DMZ.  There was never a time when any of the troops engaged in any of the things Kerry claimed were routinely happening.  I think he slandered the troops who bravely did their job.

Since serving in Vietnam, Kerry has been on the wrong side of just about every issue.  As Secretary of State, he was made aware of Hunter Biden's Burisma deal and did nothing about it.  He has been a "lifelong joke."

About the only thing he has been good at is marrying rich women.

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...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
