Islamic religious bigots attack hospital in Pakistan

BBC:

About eight people have been killed after gunmen attacked a hospital in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore.

Dressed in police uniforms, up to four gunmen briefly seized hostages at the hospital, before escaping.

Dozens of people wounded in Friday's attacks on mosques in the city were being treated in the facility at the time of the assault.

The authorities said they were pursuing the suspects after one was wounded in an exchange of gunfire with police.

The gunmen were said to have failed in an attempt to reach a captured militant, injured in the mosque attacks, who was being treated at the hospital.

...

This is a far more egregious operation than the Israeli action to enforce a blockade that people were deliberately trying to break. If they wanted to deliver the "humanitarian" supplies they just needed to let the Israelis inspect them first. Instead they attempted to attack Israeli troops on one of the boats and as a result some people were killed and others injured. It was not a planned attempt to kill anyone the way the hospital attack was, but you can see the Islamic bias in the way the two operations are described, if the hospital attack is covered at all.

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.
