A story that tells the truth about this election

NY Times:

How Turned Off Are Voters? Check Out Tommy’s Diner


The Columbus, Ohio, establishment draws voters across the political spectrum. This year they share a distaste for both major-party candidates.
It is hard to express how disgusted I am with both candidates.  But I am even more disgusted with the media.  The media has put its thumb on the scales for Hillary Clinton in a completely unethical manner from the beginning.  They helped get Trump nominated with billions if free media while waiting until he was nominated to unleash their election smear machine against the GOP nominee.

While they might have done something similar to Rubio or Cruz, it would have been much harder for them and it would have been harder for Clinton to avoid talking about the issues.  That is the last thing she wants to do since she is on the wrong side of voters on things like healthcare and immigration.

Now with just weeks to go before the election, there is little focus on the issues or on Clinton's corruption as exposed by Wikileaks and by the FBI investigation of her mishandling of classified material.  She is probably one of the most inept managers to ever be nominated and yet most of the media oxygen is being used to tell ancient claims of fondling by Trump.  Some of these claims look very dubious.

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
