Iran proxy Hezballah threatens Israel over Muslim 'holy sites'

 Washington Free Beacon:

Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s secretary-general, threatened Israel in a Tuesday speech, saying that any violation of Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem will lead to "regional war" and "Israel’s destruction."

Nasrallah’s speech marks the most high-profile statement from a Hezbollah official since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and Hamas two weeks ago. The terrorist leader said Hamas’s rocket attacks were a "historic step" in opposition to Israel that must be built on by regional forces. He also said they were a rejection of American peace plans for Israel and its neighbors.

"We won’t substitute Palestinians, but stand behind and next to them…. the ‘Deal of the Century’ is over," He Said. "Jerusalem means a regional war. All the resistance movements cannot stand by and watch this happening if the holy city is in real, grave danger."

Nasrallah appeared in poor health and broke into multiple coughing fits during his 100-minute-long speech.

Muslims in some cases try to suppress other religions by building mosques or appropriating other facilities as mosques and then declaring them "holy sites."  In India, they destroyed Hindu temples and replaced them with mosques.  In Israel, they deliberately built a mosque on the site of a Jewish Temple.  In Turkey, they took over a grand Christian church and converted it to a mosque.  In Greece, they converted the Parthenon into a mosque and stored explosives in it that exploded and left the facility in ruins as the Greeks recaptured it.  There is a pattern here that looks like an excuse for conquest and war and an attempt to destroy other religions.

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
