Sen. Kennedy responds to Biden bogus attacks of GOP proposals

 Fox News:

Senate Judiciary Committee member John Kennedy, R-La., slammed President Biden over his latest comments toward "MAGA Republicans," whom he claimed suggest policies that would "choose to inflict this kind of pain on the American people."

On "The Story," anchor Martha MacCallum played for Kennedy the relevant clip of Biden speaking in Springfield, Va., earlier on Thursday, during which the president also added he will "veto everything they send."

"I think that President Biden is the only person in the Milky Way who thinks our country is headed in the right direction," Kennedy said. "Look at the facts: Last year, our economy grew at 1%, China's economy was shut down. It grew at 3%. [The U.S. has] 13.5% inflation cumulatively — that's what President Biden has given us in two years."

"I don't mean any disrespect, but if that was my record, I would hide my head in a bag."

Kennedy added the average American may not be able to recite the exact empirical figures but is fully feeling the effects of their substance.

"They understand that crime is way up," he said. "They understand that respect for our institutions is way down. The American people understand that it's harder than ever to get ahead in our country right now, and it's easier than ever to do nothing."

He continued to, in a remark about a GOP colleague, slam Biden's claims Republicans could seek to pull back on federal entitlement spending.

"President Biden says my party — ‘I’ — want to gut Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, and that's just not true," he said.

"Not even George Santos would make up a whopper like that, and the president knows that. He just believes that the federal government is what made this country great."
...

Sen. Kennedy has a colorful way of making his points but he is certainly right about Biden.  Biden makes arguments like the weak law student he was.  BTW, Kennedy was actually quite a scholar.

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
