Democrats scheme to use immigrants to replace their depleted base

Washington Whispers:
The language was direct – as it always is with Mr. Trump. Whether or not he actually used the word “sh*tholes” to describe certain 3rd world nations that, for some reason, so many Democrats are desperate to make open border/come on in deals with, isn’t the real issue. Mr. Trump was making significant inroads into accomplishing a border security/DACA deal that endangered the Democrats long-standing policy of allowing hundreds of thousands of immigrants from particular nations in EVERY YEAR and then sprinkling those immigrants across such places as Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania as a means of turning red-leaning and/or toss-up states permanently blue to ensure no Republican is ever elected POTUS again. Trump is a direct threat to that goal, and so, faces attack and obstruction every…single…day of his presidency.
...
And so, a free-wheeling policy conversation in which a deal was to be forged was quickly turned into a means to crank up the anti-Trump media machine yet again to sabotage something getting done in D.C. The Establishment, still smarting from the Trump tax deal, would not allow Mr. Trump to so quickly declare yet another stunning victory regarding border security and immigration.
...
I think that is what Durbin is up to.  I would never automatically assume good faith when he is involved.  He has a history of making stuff up or twisting conversations to meet his objectives.

BTW, Lindsay Graham who would like a deal on immigration once called Mexico a "hell hole."

Rich Lowry has a piece on the importance of country of origin in immigrant success as well as education level obtained.

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
