Nikki Haley is nearly 30 years younger than Biden and Dems say she is too old?

 Fox News:

Republican 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley responded to the latest attack from "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who claimed Monday that the former U.N. ambassador is not part of a "new generation" because of her age.

During a segment on "The View," Goldberg played a clip of Haley calling for a new generation of leadership in Washington, D.C., before saying, "You're not a new generation, you're 51." She took cues from CNN host Don Lemon who was accused last week of making sexist remarks about Haley's age when he said she wasn't in her "prime."

Haley joined "The Story" to discuss the media onslaught over her announcement to challenge former President Trump and others for the GOP nomination.

"It’s not new," Haley said. "This happened when I ran for governor. I’ve had this all my life. When I was first elected governor, there were some minority Democrats that said 'she’s not a minority, she’s just a conservative with a tan.' They will come at me with everything. But none of that fazes me," she told anchor Martha MacCallum.

Haley said she was prepared to become a prime target of liberal media but wasn't expecting her age to be the focus of their attacks.

"If my age is all they have, it means we’re winning," she said. "I’m okay with that."
...

She is around the same age as my kids, so I accept her "new generation" claims.  I think Democrats are being critical because she is not a Democrat and not because of her age.

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
