Democrats in Congress have increased opposition from voters

 Washington Examiner:

An overwhelming majority expressed dissatisfaction with the job Congress is doing.

Only 21% of likely voters believe Congress is doing a good or excellent job, compared to 54% who say it’s doing a poor job, according to a new Rasmussen poll.

While voters are a little friendlier toward their own representatives, with 31% saying they believe their local lawmaker is the best person for the job, more voters, 43%, disagree with that sentiment. Another 26% are unsure.

Congress has historically suffered from poor approval ratings, only reaching a high of 25% approval once since 2007. Most voters, at 59%, don’t believe lawmakers care what their constituents think, while only 16% believe lawmakers care.

Democrats have the highest opinion of Congress, with 38% saying Congress is doing a good or excellent job, compared to 9% of Republicans and 15% of independents. Only 34% of Democrats believe Congress is doing a poor job, while 70% of Republicans and 60% of independents give Congress the poor grade.

Supporters of President Joe Biden are also more likely to approve of the way Congress is handling its duties, with 37% of those who strongly approve of the president also indicating they believe Congress is doing a good or excellent job. On the flip side, only 2% of those who disapprove of the job Biden is doing give Congress high marks.

...

I am among those who think the Democrat-controlled Congress sucks.  If they keep pushing their more radical agenda like Court-packing the opposition will only grow.  I am already eager to vote against every Democrat on the ballot in 2022.

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
