Jan. 6 defendants suffer cruel and unusual punishment

 Newsmax:

Two men charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots say they have been "force-fed" critical race theory in the Washington, D.C., jail where they are being held.

In a letter to a D.C. federal judge sent Tuesday, Ryan Nichols of Texas and Robert Morss of Pennsylvania wrote that they have endured, "constitutional, human and civil rights violations."

"We are force fed CRT [critical race theory] propaganda on tablets ... and force-fed reeducation propaganda."

They also claimed that there is "anti-White Racial messaging" on their tablets.

Critical race theory is defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica as the concept in which race is a socially constructed category ingrained in American law intended to maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites. It holds that the U.S. society is inherently or systemically racist.

Facility conditions at the Washington, D.C. Department of Corrections have come under scrutiny over the last month. A federal judge in mid-October held top officials at the jail in civil contempt after ruling they violated the civil rights of a U.S. Capitol riot defendant by impeding his access to medical care.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., visited the jail on Nov. 5 and said the alleged protesters — dozens of accused participants are being held in the facility — were "suffering greatly."

"Virtually no medical care, very poor food quality, and being put through reeducation which most of them are rejecting," she said.

...

There should be an investigation of the DC jail and its treatment of inmates many of which have not been charged with a crime at this point.

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
