Media unhappy with Biden 2024 campaign

 Red States:

...

Following the leak about his coming 2024 run, the normally Biden-friendly shows on various left-wing networks broke glass and slammed the red button in a visceral panic. CNN led the way, touting numbers showing the president in a deep deficit when it comes to public opinion about him and his job performance. NBC News did the same song and dance, promoting their own poll numbers showing that most Democrats do not want him to run again.

Then there was ABC News, which pulled no punches and went right at the heart of Biden’s biggest weakness: The fact that he’s old and senile.
...

The realization that Biden is actually going to run again has lit a fire under these press outlets. For years, they’ve sought to protect the president at all costs, but now, the full-court press is on to try to dissuade him from following through on a re-election bid. And can you blame them for the attempt? Look at what they are faced with.

Biden isn’t just old, which is already a public relations problem in and of itself. He’s also in the midst of a very visible mental and physical decline to go along with his advanced age. Watching the president walk is downright uncomfortable these days, what with his shuffling steps accompanied but a marked confusion. I’ve lost track of how many times he’s gotten lost on a stage, had to be told where to stand, or started wandering aimlessly. His inability to speak coherently is the biggest tell, though. Over and over, Biden’s appearances in public devolve into bouts of senility. A simple online search would produce enough examples to keep anyone busy all day watching.
...

On top of all that is that he and his administration have done a terrible job of leading the country.  From the Afghan debacle to serial failures on other issues, Biden has weakened the country and wanted money like no other president.

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
