Democrats phony claims of racism

 Red States:

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), along with others on the right, pointed out the brazen hypocrisy of Democrats attempting to use race to argue for eliminating the filibuster.

During an appearance on “Fox News Primetime,” the senator savaged Democrats for pretending the filibuster is racist, despite having used the tactic to kill his police reform bill last year. He said:

?It was a frustrating, irritating moment where the Democrats used the filibuster to block police reform that would have positively impacted disproportionately African American communities. Here’s what we know about the Democrats: They were for the filibuster before they were against the filibuster. I keep asking myself, will the real Chuck Schumer please stand up? Is it the one who was for the filibuster, or is it the new one who’s now against the filibuster?”

The senator also referenced former President Barack Obama’s and President Joe Biden’s previous, supportive comments about the filibuster, he pointed out that “they use the word ‘racist’ whenever they’re trying to scare people into their corner. It has nothing to do with race, but they don’t care. Winning at all costs means losing at some point.”

The Democrats have been displaying their love for Jim Crow and everything racist over the past week, as they weaponize it to support the agenda they are pushing. It is clear that the only reason they wish to end the filibuster is that it would allow them to impose Biden’s radical agenda on immigration, gun control, and a host of other issues.

Also, Democrats and their friends in the activist media seem to think the public won’t find out that they used the filibuster over 300 times in 2020, including with Sen. Scott’s police reform bill, which makes it all the more interesting that they are using Jim Crow to bash the practice. Scott was putting forth a valid solution to police brutality, which the left claims to care about because it impacts black Americans. Yet, they used a supposedly Jim Crow tactic to block the passage of Scott’s bill.

...

The hypocrisy of Biden and Schumer is mind-boggling in its audacity.  If the media had a smidgen of integrity it would be calling the Democrats on it.

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
