Cancel culture unpopular

 Red States:

In case you needed more proof that cancel culture can’t sustain itself forever, a recent poll revealed that most Americans do not favor the political tactic. It can be expected that the number of people who view cancel culture as a negative will only rise as the hard left continues to go overboard with their latest exercise in cultural Marxism.

According to a recent Harvard CAPS-Harris poll released to The Hill, 64% of respondents claimed there is “a growing cancel culture” that is threatening to their freedom. Only 36% indicated that they did not believe it to be a threat to their freedom.

The Hill reported, “the poll found that 36 percent of Americans said cancel culture is a “big problem,” while 32 percent called it a “moderate problem.” Another 20 percent said it was a “small problem” and 13 percent said it is “not a problem.”

The survey was published only days after CBS announced that Sharon Osbourne would be stepping down from her position as co-host of “The Talk.” The announcement came after a heated conversation centering on Osbourne’s defense of British media personality Piers Morgan, who criticized Meghan Markle and Prince Harry after their interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Morgan savaged the couple, stating he did not believe Markle’s claim that she struggled with mental health issues and that she has been suicidal. As you could easily predict, this led to the usual accusations of racism and bigotry and blah blah blah.

Osbourne defended Morgan, saying, “I feel even like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist.”

The survey also found that 54% of respondents indicated they were “concerned” that if they express their views online, they would be fired. Conversely, 46% said that they were not worried about stating their opinions online.

...

There is more.

One of the benefits of being retired is that you do not have to be as concerned about being canceled.

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.
