Afghan accused of terror plot on US election

 DC Daily Journal:

...

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, an Afghan national accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired terror attack on Election Day in the U.S., reportedly worked as a security guard for the CIA in Afghanistan, according to NBC News.

While Tawhedi, 27, held the security role, sources confirmed that he was not an informant for the agency.

Tawhedi, who was arrested in Oklahoma on Monday, entered the U.S. on September 9, 2021, just weeks after the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan and U.S. troops withdrew from the country.

It’s unclear how long he worked as a security guard before arriving in America.

Officials haven’t disclosed whether there were any prior signs linking him to radical Islam before his arrival.

At the time of his arrest, Tawhedi was living in Oklahoma City under a special immigrant visa, which should have subjected him to extensive screening, according to NBC sources.

His visa was among the more than 70,000 granted to Afghans under the Biden-Harris administration following the U.S. pullout.

The Biden-Harris bugout from Afghanistan was one of the biggest fiascos in US history. The military was not given enough notice, which would have allowed time to organize and retreat orderly.  Such retreats are called retrograde operations.  They would have allowed bringing US equipment out at the same time.  The cost of this operation was in the billions to the US military and at the same time left critical weapon systems in control of terrorists in Afghanistan.

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
