House votes to expose wealth of Islamic religious bigots who rule Iran

Washington Examiner:
More than 40 Democrats joined Republicans in passing legislation Wednesday aimed at revealing the wealth of Iranian leaders, despite President Obama's promise to veto the bill due to fears that it would undermine his nuclear deal with the regime.

Lawmakers in the House passed the bill 282-143, and 42 of the "yes" votes came from Democrats. Still, if the bill were to make it to Obama's desk and he vetoed it, a two-thirds majority would be needed to override that veto, and today's House vote fell short of that margin.

Secretary of State John Kerry admitted months ago that some of the money Iran received through the lifting of economic sanctions under the nuclear deal would be used to finance terrorism. After failing to block the deal, Republicans have settled on a strategy of discouraging businesses from exercising their right to invest in the country by highlighting the regime's support for terrorism.

"The people of Iran and the citizens of this world deserve to know how much the chief sponsor of terrorism in Iran have accumulated and what the money is being used for," Maine Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin, the author of the bill, said on the House floor. "And businesses around the world that are looking to possibly invest in Iran should know before their investment who and what they're dealing with."
...
The Democrats who oppose the bill say that it violates the terms of Obama's bad deal with Iran.  The Republicans deny that.  It would not bother me if it did.  It is a worse than worthless deal that should be abrogated as soon as possible.  

I find it interesting that Sec. Clinton can claim that Trump's criticism of radical Islam "gives aid and comfort to the enemy" when Obama's deal does that by the billions of dollars and they still get to make nuclear weapons.  The administration has admitted that the money given the religious bigots of Iran can and will be used for their terror operations against the US and its allies.  There is literally no logic to this deal.  None.

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.
