Republicans begin investigation of Feds politicization of law enforcement

 Just the News:

With a flurry of interview requests on Friday to federal officials and Biden administration allies — coupled with a pointed warning of potential subpoenas to follow — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan signaled his resolve to investigate allegations of growing politicization in federal law enforcement and administration moves to intimidate opponents and chill dissent.

The Ohio Republican sent letters seeking testimony to five individuals: former head of the Department of Homeland Security's abortive Disinformation Governance Board Nina Jankowicz; FBI Human Resources Branch Executive Assistant Director Jennifer Leigh Moore; former interim Executive Director and CEO of the National School Boards Association Chip Slaven; National Assessment Governing Board Trustee Viola Garcia; and former FBI agent Tim Thibault.

Each recipient held or currently holds a position of influence relevant to alleged government efforts to censor or harass political opponents or politicize federal law enforcement....

The FBI and Department of Justice have faced a stream of whistleblower claims of political bias by senior law enforcement officials both before and after the Aug. 8, 2022, FBI raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Many of these reports involve the handling of politically sensitive investigations, including the federal probe into the foreign business dealings of the president's son, Hunter Biden. Other reports alleged politically motivated investigations of parents who opposed controversial policies in public schools.

This is a much-needed investigation of those responsible for trying to suppress dissent by conservatives.  They should also be investigating why there has been no effective attempt at controlling mob violence by leftist groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa.  The contrast between the treatment of parents complaining about school curricula and people burning and looting cities needs to be investigated.

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
