Was Afghan attack by prisoners released by the US?

 Newsmax:

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, on Thursday warned that ISIS attacks will ultimately be coming "sooner than later" to the United States because the war on terror has "clearly not ended" following the suicide bombing in Kabul earlier in the day. 

"Their capabilities are obviously still intact," Crenshaw told Fox News, as Mediaite reported. "I'm not sure if this attack is a result of the fact that when the Taliban came through they left 5,000 prisoners out, many of whom were ISIS.

"In any case, the intelligence community saw this coming, and now they assume that whether it's al-Qaida or ISIS, they'll be able to externalize these attacks, meaning do it on the homeland — sooner than later."

Terrorist group Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) has claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed at least a dozen U.S. service members and many more civilians Thursday.

"I think we should retake more airfields throughout the country," Crenshaw, a wounded U.S. Navy SEAL who lost an eye in a improvised explosive device (IED) explosion in Afghanistan, told Fox News.

"You can't expect everybody to be going to this hell hole that is the Kabul airport right now. Retake Bagram and other airports as well. It will take troops on the ground and a complete reassessment of our strategy, but the military can do it."

The death of American men and women should not be tolerated by the Biden administration and should be met with a swift and decisive retaliation.

"From a tactical perspective, I like to hear the enemy is massing and finally out in the open and not hiding in the population, which is what made these wars so difficult over time," Crenshaw told Fox News. "We have to acknowledge that there are people out there that want to kill us, and if they have any space whatsoever, any room, any time whatsoever, they're planning an attack on the homeland.

...

It is too bad Crenshaw is not the commander in chief.  He is clearly smarter and braver than Biden.

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
