Kamala Harris gets electric prices wrong

 Fox Business:

Vice President Kamala Harris is getting bombarded with criticism for touting that the Biden administration has reduced electricity bills for working families.

KAMALA HARRIS SAYS BIDEN ADMIN HAS REDUCED HEAT, ELECTRIC COSTS AMID RECORD PRICES

One California restaurant owner, Jeff Kacha, is particularly frustrated with the Vice Presidents' comments, arguing on "Fox & Friends First" that his restaurant's electric bill has risen to $8,000 a month.

"For working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like schools supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation," Harris said during a speech Wednesday on efforts to lower costs for homebuyers at Bowie State University in Maryland.

DC BILL WOULD GIVE SOME GAS STOVE OWNERS FREE ELECTRIC STOVES


"Fox & Friends First" host Todd Piro posed an important question, asking Kacha, "where's all this extra money Kamala keeps talking about?"

"We don't have it. Well, we have a lot more bills," Kacha said. "This is definitely a problem. We've had our electric bill go up to $8,000. We haven't gotten our new bill. So there's a lot of one-two punching going on with our payrolls. We haven't seen much of this money."
...

Kacha stressed that he is not sure how to compensate for the $8,000 nugget.

RESTAURANT OWNER SOUNDS THE ALARM ON PROPOSED GAS STOVE BAN: 'THIS WILL DESTROY OUR INDUSTRY'

"We've got to pull it from somewhere. It's either from me or it's going to be end of the cost or we're going to raise prices to the clients. We can't keep raising prices or chase up the customers because the problem is, is that everybody looks at the bill and said, hey, last time I came here, it was, you know, $20. Now it's 30, $39. Something's wrong," Kacha continued.
...

California is also having record gas bills for heating and cooking.  Wind and solar just are not up to the task at this point.

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
