Hostile media fails to dent Trump approval

NY Times:

Who Are the Voters Behind Trump’s Higher Approval Rating?

Despite the president’s slow performance on the coronavirus and his series of falsehoods, some independent voters and Democrats are giving him a measure of credit for his handling of the crisis.
Despite the media's attempt to blame Trump for not moving quickly and for being too optimistic, the voters still support him.  They know that when Trump did act to restrict travel, it was the open-borders left that falsely accused him of xenophobia and racism.  It was the left in this country that urged people to join crowds which had the effect of spreading the disease while proclaiming it was racism not to do so.

One of the reasons that so many on the left hate the President's daily briefing is that it exposes what a bunch of jerks many of the reporters are.  While they accuse Trump of "falsehoods" they distort his comments by taking them out of context and omitting material facts.

Their reporting looks like the politics of fraud when they accuse him of demanding personal appreciation from state officials while he was saying that they should be more appreciative of the efforts of FEMA and the team working to help them.  Frankly, what Trump is saying is just good leadership.  He is being supportive of the efforts of those working to help state and local officials.  It should also be noted that Trump has praised the local officials who have worked well with the team, such as Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo.

The left hates the press briefings because it makes it harder for them to push their false narrative about the President's response to the virus.  You can now watch that false narrative in real-time as they pose gotcha questions and they do not like the response.

Also, see how the media war against Trump is escalating.

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
