Trump lawyers skeptical of fair process in House impeachment move

NY Times:

Trump Lawyers, Skeptical of Engaging on Impeachment, Weigh Hearing Strategy

The White House is debating whether to accept an invitation by Democrats to be part of an impeachment hearing next week, calling it a “sham partisan process.”
The only reason they might want to participate is to expose the rush to judgment by the Democrats who failed to make their case during the Schiff show.  The media has been too blind to the mess Schiff made and the great job done by Republicans on cross-examination that utterly destroyed the narrative the Democrats were trying to push. 

Polling after the Schiff fiasco showed the Democrats losing ground on their political case they tried to make against the President. Both the Democrats and the media lost credibility after that hearing.  The media got exposed as hearing only what they wanted to hear instead of offering a fair presentation of the lack of evidence in support of the Democrats' claims.

It is clear that Republicans see the Democrats' impeachment efforts as illegitimate.  Schiff tried to stifle the Republicans' defense of the President by suppressing evidence.  Nadler was even worse in his earlier efforts to push impeachment.

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.
