Funny how these people never objected to sexist remarks about Sarah Palin

Outrage Over Sexist Remarks Turns Into a Political Fund-Raising Tool

Donations flowed in for Senator Claire McCaskill after Todd Akin compared her to a dog playing “fetch” in Washington.

Donations flowed in for Senator Claire McCaskill after Todd Akin compared her to a dog playing “fetch” in Washington.
With a record number of women in Congress and dozens more on the ballot, attacks on figures like Wendy Davis, Claire McCaskill and Hillary Rodham Clinton can instantly generate contributions.
The party of perpetual outrage knows how to gen up an excuse to raise money over perceived criticism of the policies of its women candidates, but has no trouble with similar remarks aimed at conservative women.  That double standard suggest it is opportunism and an attempt to silence criticism at work.   The left just can't seem to handle it.

In the case of Wendy Davis, she has turned out to be a poor candidate who claims to be both "pro life" and for abortion on demand.  She seems to be both for and against gun control.  The bottom line is that she is a liberal trying to win in a conservative state and it is not a good fit.

Claire McCaskill benefited from Harry Reid and the Democrats conspiring and plotting to get a weak candidate nominated against her.  As for Hillary, she was not very effective as a Secretary of State and her handling of the situation in Libya is enough of a reason to oppose her regardless of gender.

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.
