Palestinians have worn out their welcome with Arabs too

Tapes Hint at Arab Leaders’ Acceptance of Jerusalem Move


While Egypt denounced President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, an Egyptian intelligence officer coached talk show hosts to persuade their listeners to accept it, according to recordings obtained by The New York Times.
I think this is true in other Arab countries too.  Israel is not seen as a threat to real Arab countries and Iran is.  The Palestinians are attempting to be a faux Arab country but they have also been tied to Iran which is attempting hegemony in the region.  There is a reason that Iranian dissidents are yelling that they do not want to see their money spent on Gaza, Hamas or Hezballah.  Everyone is getting fed up with the Iranian mullahs.

Obama's bad Iran deal may also have sparked discontent with not only Iran but the Palestinians.  Israel is now seen as a stable and strong ally in the war being waged by Iran.  Ironically it also is probably responsible for the discontent in Iran where people are fed up with spending on terrorist organizations outside of the country while their economy atrophies.  They likely see the Obama windfall going to others and they are angry about it not going to grow the economy.

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
