Hamas leaders behind kidnapping hiding in Syria

AKI:

Syrian-based Hamas officials fearing possible retalitory attacks from Israel for the abduction of an Israeli soldier in Gaza are moving between different safehouses and limiting the number of telephone calls made to conceal their whereabouts, a source said Thursday. Hamas' exiled leadership in Damascus, including political bureau chief, Khaled Mashaal who Israel has accused of masterminding the kidnapping, are "taking seriously" threats made by Israel that it would target them for assassination, the Hamas source told Adnkronos International (AKI).

On Wednesday Israeli security minister Avraham Ditcher decribed the Syrian-based Hamas leaders as "murderers" and said Israel may carry out "targeted killings" to eliminate them.

...
Syria should be told to turn over the Hamas responsible for the kidnapping or share his fate. No state should be permitted to harbor terrorist without consequence. Israel should not restrict itself to mere buzzing Assad's house. Its targetting killing program has been very effective and should not be restricted when the target is seeking sanctuary in Syria.

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.
