Biden's war policy

 DC Daily Journal:

Joe Biden said there’d be no new wars on his watch. But that was a total lie.

Because President Biden just told his top military general to prepare for war.

Back on the 2020 campaign trail, one of the big promises Joe Biden made was that he would keep the United States out of wasteful wars that only serve to prop up the military industrial complex and cause mayhem all across the globe.

He likely picked up that this promise was a popular one from Donald Trump, who truly did follow through with that promise. Donald Trump ended wars, didn’t start them, and wiped out terrorists on our way out of Middle Eastern involvement. Even Joe Biden himself conceded that Trump handled ISIS beautifully!
...

But the difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump on this issue is that, as president, Joe Biden has not actually been keeping the United States out of new war efforts at all. If anything, he’s fanning the flames of war in multiple regions like Ukraine and the Middle East.

Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars are being rerouted out of the United States and into the hands of the Ukrainian government and the Israeli government for their defensive war efforts. Sure, Ukraine and Israel have a right to defend themselves against the horrible people who want to wipe them off the face of the planet. But Joe Biden’s going back on his promise to do so, which doesn’t sit well with the American people.

And if you thought that it was just some taxpayer dollars and some military equipment going overseas, you’re wrong. Joe Biden is sending one of his top U.S. generals to Israel to help them prepare for a retaliation from terrorists.

On Thursday, a senior U.S. general is scheduled to visit Israel to collaborate on defense strategies amid growing concerns of a potential attack from Iran, as per Axios.

Last week, Israel conducted precise airstrikes on an Iranian diplomatic facility in Damascus, Syria, resulting in the elimination of numerous members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including a key general from the Quds Force.

In response, Iran has vowed retaliation against Israel, although the specifics of Tehran’s plans remain undisclosed. In preparation for potential defensive measures, the United States has been assisting Israel, according to reports from Axios, citing sources from both countries.
...

There are obviously wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.  Those wars appear to be tied to Biden's weakness in dealing with adversaries.  Biden's bug-out from Afghanistan was seen by adversaries as a failure to defend allies.

The Biden probe that House Republicans are most eager to talk about

The House Foreign Affairs Committee's investigation into the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan is proving to more effective than other probes into the Biden administration, multiple Republicans told Axios.

Why it matters: Democrats have slammed GOP investigations like the Biden impeachment inquiry as witch hunts. But Republicans argue the Afghanistan probe has yielded evidence that's hard for the White House to ignore.

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
