Democrat weakness

 Joe Concha:

President Biden’s decision on Sunday afternoon to withdraw from the 2024 race should have turned the page on his presidency without much ambiguity.

Instead, it has revealed in broad daylight the central themes of this presidential election.

First theme: Strength versus weakness.

Former President Donald Trump is shot in the ear and comes within a millimeter of losing his life to an assassin; arrives at the Republican National Convention to thunderous applause two days later. Meanwhile, Biden tests positive for COVID; disappears entirely for nearly a week as he remains in isolation.

Second theme: Transparency versus secrecy and incompetence.

The Biden administration has been anything but transparent. Or truthful. Or reassuring that they’re running the country competently.

Think about it: Here we have the sitting president and commander-in-chief of our armed forces doing something that no president has done in 55 years since Lyndon Baines Johnson, announcing that he will not seek a second term.

But Biden’s announcement is done on social media — issued only in writing. There’s no video or audio. And the statement isn’t even printed on White House stationery.

This was on Sunday. And as of late Monday afternoon, we had yet to see or hear from the president directly.

The president did call in to Kamala Harris’ visit to campaign headquarters in Delaware on Monday, but didn’t appear on video — and took no questions from reporters or anyone else.

And he has yet to explain exactly why he suddenly decided to step down.

Is it a mental issue? Does he have Parkinson’s? Is it some other condition we’re not aware of?

Biden was set to return to the White House Tuesday afternoon, but had no public appearances — no press conference or any event — scheduled, until word came down that he’ll finally address the nation Wednesday night.

With zero transparency, all we’re left with is speculation and a lengthening list of questions.
...

I think he quit because Democrat leaders in Congress as well as donors saw him as a sure loser and told him they wanted to replace him as a candidate.  Their problem is that Kamala Harris is not more popular than Biden was.   They are still stuck with a weak candidate.

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...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
