Libs in media begin to question Biden's competency

 The Lid:

Even before Joe Biden was elected to the White House, there were concerns about his age and mental acuity, and the last eight months certainly haven’t assuaged those fears very much. Biden no longer competent.

It has been a story of compounding, confluent catastrophes for Biden and the rest of the administration and what appears to be their uncanny ability to completely botch the response.

Now, one veteran journalist suggests that perhaps the President himself is not prepared for this sort of task.

Veteran journalist Al Hunt feels President Joe Biden’s time in the White House has been plagued by “stupid miscues” and “fumbled” opportunities as prominent Democrats now have a sense of unease regarding whether the president is competent enough to do the job.

In a column for The Hill, the former Bloomberg News editor and columnist argued a recent Quinnipiac poll that shows Biden’s negative ratings on competency go to the “core of his presidency” after he was billed as a capable alternative to his predecessor.


And he did not mince his words.

“Unease also is reflected in background conversations with a few Democrats, strategists, donors and officeholders. This is not just the passions of the moment, they fear, but a deeper concern that this White House may not be up to daunting challenges,” Hunt wrote in the column headlined, “Biden administration competency doubts increase.”

...

The incompetence is seen on several fronts, but the Afghan debacle is hard to ignore even for those who wanted to leave.  We are now seeing it in the vaccine mandates that are costing jobs across several industries.  It has gotten to be too big a concern for even Democrats to ignore.

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
