Democrat candidate for leader of party wants to do away with 2nd amendment

Newsbusters:

Here’s the transcript of the damning clip Tapper showed from March 2014:

BILL MAHER [on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, 03/21/14]: Then why doesn't your party come out against the Second Amendment?

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN KEITH ELLISON [Minn.] [on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, 03/21/14]: Bill, I sure wish they would. I sure wish they would.

MAHER [on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, 03/21/14]: Really?

ELLISON [on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, 03/21/14]: Yes.

MAHER [on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, 03/21/14]: Because I never hear anybody in the Democratic Party say that.

“So, that's your candidate for — a candidate for DNC chair saying that he sure wishes the Democratic Party would come out against the Second Amendment. Is that the appropriate leadership for the DNC,” Tapper wondered to Ryan.

Ryan started floundering by declaring that it’s “not my decision entirely to make” and he somehow doesn’t “have a horse in that fight,” so Tapper immediately stepped in to press him: “But you want to lead the Democratic Party in the House. Don't — I mean, you must have a position.”

Naturally, Ryan filibustered his way to the end of the segment by alluding to the House Democrat-led sit-in for gun control plus the need for “sportsmen” and hunters to be able to enjoy themselves but with more background checks. Interestingly, he turned away from guns to (liberal) economic policies....

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.
