Why the Democrats are behind

 The Dems have a twofold problem.  Biden has barely been coherent as he struggles with what appears to many to be dementia.  It got to the point where even the media could not ignore it.  

They have now put Biden to rest and retirement and Kamala Harris appears to be his heir apparent.  Her problem is that a good portion of the country sees her as a giggling dingbat.  It is something she will have to deal with if she is to even make it a close race at this point.

The Democrats would probably be better off if they had gone with one of their governors who could make a serious run for office.

Their attempt to convince a majority of voters that Donald Trump is a criminal does not appear to be working as his poll numbers are still better than Biden or Harris.  The case never made any sense to me.  The case they brought is apparently a misdemeanor that they tried to make a felony and it is really a bookkeeping issue that the CO of a company is relying on accountants and outside firms to take care of.

Another problem with this case is no one lost any money as a result of the way the accounting was done.  As someone who has prosecuted several fraud cases in the past, I never brought one where no one lost any money.  I don't think you can convince a fair jury when there are no victims.  What the prosecutors have been doing is bringing cases in jurisdictions that voted against Trump.  They were taking advantage of jury bias.

As Josh Hammer has written:

But after last Thursday's CNN presidential debate in Atlanta, in which President Joe Biden delivered a catastrophic performance for the ages, there is only one conclusion: The yearslong effort by Biden administration flunkies, Democratic Party poohbahs and pro-Regime media stenographers to forcefully deny Biden's obvious physical and mental decline will go down as the single greatest lie in American history.

Democrats fear years of work in rural America erased by debate

“I think people just feel lied to,” said one local rural Democratic party chair in a battleground district.

...

 As Biden struggled to finish sentences during the debate in Atlanta last week, rural Democrats felt like they were watching their carefully coordinated, yearslong agenda to rebuild their standing in rural areas suddenly evaporate, according to interviews with Democratic voters, lawmakers, congressional aides and organizers on the ground. That’s triggered fears of a Democratic bloodbath in rural America this fall that could wipe out the party’s small remaining foothold in those regions.

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.
