I do not find Donald Trump interesting anymore

When Trump first started his campaign he tapped into voter anger over what liberals and the Washington establishment had been doing.  But now he is just angry at anyone who challenges him on the facts and the issues and he is making up history.

His attacks on George W. Bush are just absurd.  They have been debunked by Congressional studies and independent studies.  They were also debunked by Trump's own book published a year before Bush took office where Trump talked about WMD in Iraq.  Was Trump "lying" when he wrote that, or did he just believe what the intel community was telling the Clinton administration?

No wonder a South Carolina paper suggest debate moderators shut off Trump's microphone if he does not stop interrupting other candidates.  Based on past performance Trump would probably argue that it is "unfair" to make him abide by the rules of the debate.

Yesterday Sen. Tom Coburn said Trump had fabricated a quote suggesting that he  thought Cruz was a liar.  Even after Coburn made clear that he said no such thing, Trump kept using the bogus quote.  Perhaps he is trying to draw Cruz into calling Trump a liar, but it is more likely that Trump is just pathological.

Early voting for the Texas primary began yesterday, and these are just some fo the reasons I voted for Ted Cruz.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
