Father of the year--not

Independent:

A businessman with an irrational fear of becoming a father has been jailed for almost four years after he laced his wife's breakfast with abortion pills in an attempt to make her lose their unborn baby.

Gil Magira, 36, from Hendon, north London, admitted crushing up the pills, which he bought online, and sprinkling them in his wife's sandwich, yogurt and a bowl of cereal in an attempt to end her 11-week pregnancy.

Yesterday, at the Old Bailey in London, Magira was jailed for three years and nine months after pleading guilty to a charge of using an instrument to procure a miscarriage. It was the first time in more than 30 years that someone has been charged with such an offence. It was also the first time that a father has been prosecuted for trying to terminate a pregnancy in such a way.

...

Magira's wife, Anat Abraham was left in pain and bleeding and had to go to hospital after her husband's attempts at inducing an abortion. However, the child survived and their son, Matan, was born in June last year.

...

"The way it was done seems almost inhuman; the way he pretended to be caring of me fully aware that he had slipped abortion pills into my food; the way he continued sharing my bed and my life as if nothing had happened. I was really scared for the first time in my life. I was scared for my life, the baby's life and Gil's life.

...

Has this guy ever heard of a vasectomy? Anyone that desperate not to be a father should take care of his own plumbing. I think he got off pretty light for attempting to murder his own son while it was still in the womb.

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.
