Biden's weakness in dealing with Iran regime

 The Hill:

Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) said President Biden was wrong for telling Israeli leaders not to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, blaming the president’s “weakness” on Iran for the recent escalation of tensions in the Middle East.

“The president has no right to tell Israel how it’s going to defend itself. In fact, this president has just had an appeasement-first policy with Iran, and it’s his weakness that has encouraged Iran to attack our ally Israel,” Ricketts stated during an appearance on “The Hill on NewsNation.”

The Foreign Relations Committee member reflected on Iran’s launch of 180 missiles toward Israel on Tuesday in response to their invasion of Lebanon in hopes of finding top leaders of the militant group Hezbollah.

“What we need to be doing is saying, ‘Hey, we are going to support our ally when they retaliate for this brazen attack that violates all international norms by attacking Israel directly,’” Ricketts explained. “The only thing, frankly, that these dictators understand is force, and that’s what has to be used back on them. We need to support Israel when they do this.”

He claimed that former presidents like Ronald Reagan handled American conflict with Iran better than Biden.

“Frankly, you know what? We’ve been through this before. Ronald Reagan knew how to handle it when the Iranians were trying to sink our Navy ships. He started sinking their Navy ships,” the senator said. “And guess what? They figured it out. They backed off. That’s what Israel needs to do.”
...

It is not clear whether Biden's response or lack thereof is because of his dementia or the weakness of those he has appointed to foreign affairs jobs.  Both are a problem that will allow enemies to act against US interests.  Iran is a malignant actor on the world stage that should be corraled.

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.
