The Russian hoax and the current Ukraine proceedings were done by Democrats to manufacture crimes to attack the President

Erik Gregory:
The Russia Hoax was never about Russia.  It was always a cover story to unleash a legal assault on Team Trump, the sole aim of which was to look for, and create, secondary crimes (e.g., decades-old loan applications [Paul Manafort], a misremembered timeline [George Papadopoulos], raiding the son of a top-tier target [Michael Flynn] to compel a guilty plea, or the ever-reliable "lying" charge [Roger Stone]).
That's it in the shell of a nut.  A single sentence.
And guess what: that single sentence is the current legal strategy for the Democrats, the Deep State, and the NeverTrump Republicans for the impeachment inquiry, which seeks to expand the probe well beyond Trump's call to Ukraine.  The process works in three easy steps: (1) accuse Trump of any wrongdoing, no matter how baseless (e.g., Russia collusion); (2) turn the accusation over to a politically allied Department of Justice (DOJ) official (i.e., Robert Mueller); and (3) the politically loyal DOJ official (who understands the real purpose of the initial accusation) will look for (and create) any crime committed at any time in history on anybody associated with Trump.  With any luck, he'll find an old Trump school buddy and raid him (for failure to pay parking tickets 10 years earlier, for example).  The friendly DOJ official will then hold a legal gun to Trump's buddy's head and say, "We'll hit you with 10 counts of perjury, 20 counts of indecency, 30 counts of being a Republican, and we'll bankrupt you and your miserable family...unless you publicly say what we tell you to say about Trump."  I'd squeal under those conditions.  And after Trump's buddy has been sufficiently terrorized and "groomed" for public display, the friendly DOJ official will turn the buddy over to Congress, where his public testimony will sound exactly like Democratic talking points (i.e., "Trump's a racist, Trump's a misogynist, Trump's a xenophobe, Trump's a homophobe," etc., etc., ad nauseam).  Does that scenario sound too far-fetched to believe?  Just ask Michael Cohen.
This legal strategy, even if it hasn't yet resulted in criminal charges against Trump, has proven an enormous success in terms of inflicting massive political damage.  Many Democrats lamented the outcome of the Mueller Witch Hunt and the fact that it did not result in criminal charges against Trump, but that was never Mueller's true intention (any more than "Russia Collusion" was the real purpose of his investigation).  Mueller, knowing he had an innocent man on his hands, decided the best course of action would be to target Trump's associates, drag Trump's name through the gutter, and leak like mad to the establishment Democratic media (e.g., CNN, NBC, N.Y. Times, WaPo, which obligingly created sensational and damaging headlines).  A mere accusation, planted by Obama loyalists, was all it took to inflict a thousand wounds on Trump.  The Mueller Witch Hunt, founded entirely on a baseless allegation, was actually successful beyond the Democrats' wildest dreams — it inflicted enormous damage at zero cost to the Democrats.
Given the success of the Mueller Witch Hunt, it only makes sense the Democrats and their allies in the media would want to repeat this successful "legal attack" formula.  Enter Russia Collusion 2.0 — the Ukraine sequel.  The Democrats followed the exact same playbook by (1) accusing Trump of a crime (Ukraine "quid pro quo"), (2) turning the accusation over to a politically allied legal official (Adam Schiff), and (3) having the politically loyal official (who understands the real purpose of the initial accusation) look for (and create) any crime on anybody associated with Trump at any time in history.  Did Don Jr. rip off a mattress tag in 1992?  If so, prosecute!  Did Laura Trump forget to pay a hairdresser bill in 2003?  If so, prosecute!  Did Eric Trump forget to mention an email he sent in 2008?  He lied to investigators!  Prosecute with extreme prejudice!  And the Democrat-controlled DOJ will.
...
Democrats have been acting in bad faith ever since Trump started rising in the polls.  They are not going to stop unless they are in fact, prosecuted for their crimes.  Muller was using process crimes and unrelated matters trying to extort testimony out of his targets.  It would not surprise me if they continue that disingenuous approach.

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
