California searching for alleged illegal alien cop killer

USA Today:
California authorities are searching for a man who killed a small-town police officer the day after Christmas, a manhunt that prompted a tweet on Thursday from President Donald Trump.

Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson saidThursday they have identified the suspect who fatally shot Newman Police Department Cpl. Ronil Singh during a traffic stop, saying the man is living illegally in the United States but not naming him.

"We will relentlessly continue to hunt our suspect down and bring him to justice so that ... we can bring closure onto this community and this police department," Christianson said. “This suspect is in our country illegally. He doesn’t belong here. He is a criminal."

On Twitter, Trump connected the "full scale manhunt going on in California for an illegal immigrant accused of shooting and killing a police officer" to his call for a crackdown on border security as a partial government shutdown over funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border stretched into its fifth day.

"Time to get tough on Border Security," Trump tweeted. "Build the Wall!"
...

Early Wednesday morning, Singh stopped a pickup truck without a license plate as part of a drunken driving investigation in Newman, about 100 miles southeast of San Francisco. Singh fired back to try to defend himself, Christianson said, and later died at a local hospital. The suspect fled the scene but authorities later found the truck.

Authorities say surveillance photos from a nearby convenience store show the suspect, a heavyset man with short dark hair wearing a chain necklace, dark T-shirt and jacket.
...
California politicians have some responsibility because of their senseless sanctuary state policies that have turned the state into hostile territory for immigration law enforcement.   One of the ironies, in this case, is that the officer who was killed was a legal immigrant.

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
