Trump won't attack critical Democrats?

Leon Wolf:
Sigh. This was so predictable that it's almost tiresome. The guy who attacked every Republican under the sun, no matter how small or inconsequential, who said even the least critical thing of him, has decided he's not going to attack the Democrats who attacked him at the convention. Because, I am not kidding you, he wants to display good message discipline.......

Get the hell out of here with this nonsense, Donald Trump. Here's the thing, right now, this is good advice. You know what? It would also have been good advice with respect to a billion Republicans who you felt absolutely no compunction about crapping all over in the name of good message discipline.

It would also have been good advice the day after Ted Cruz gave a speech at the Republican convention that didn't even criticize Donald Trump at all - would have been fantastic advice for Trump not to come out the next day and resurrect insane conspiracy theories about Ted Cruz's father and promise to spend a bunch of money to beat Ted Cruz.

But isn't it weird that Trump only discovers the joys of message discipline, not punching down, not needlessly alienating people when it comes time to attack Democrats? And by "weird," of course, I mean, "very likely that Trump is still a Democrat who is laughing at all the Republican voters he suckered into voting for him in the primary."
...
I guess this means he is not going to fund any super PAC to go after critical Democrats they way he says he will go after Cruz and John Kasich.  I guess it also means there will be no gratuitous insults and childish name calling of Democrats either.

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.
