Democrats war against West Virginia

 Clarice Feldman:

...

Senator Chuck Schumer, in particular, I think, has made a tremendous error in targeting Manchin. The Democratic playbook is getting shopworn. Apart from screaming meemies attacking him in public, the Democrats obviously got the AFL-CIO leadership to pressure the UMWA president Cecil E. Roberts to urge Manchin to “revisit “ his decision to block BBB. He contends, “The United Mine Workers and Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) have a long and friendly relationship. We remain grateful for his hard work to preserve the pensions and health care of our retirees across the nation, including thousands in West Virginia. He has been at our side as we have worked to preserve coal miners’ jobs in a changing energy marketplace, and we appreciate that very much.” 

It's not the first time UMWA President Roberts was played for a patsy. Remember that they promised him that if Barack Obama was elected president he really didn’t mean what he said when he pledged to shut down the coal industry. Obama was elected and he did just what he promised to do, at the cost of jobs to miners in West Virginia. What’s that expression about “fool me twice, shame’s on me”?

In any event, the most recent poll I saw of West Virginia voters shows Biden’s disapproval rating in West Virginia -- 77% -- is the highest in the nation. 

I doubt the Democrats’ attacks on Manchin will change that one bit.

The Democrats are pushing businesses to participate in its war on fossil fuels and there is an apparent pushback by several states that provide American energy.  The left is all about trying to kill a major industry that the country relies on for transportation, electricity, and national defense and all they have to offer instead are crappy solar panels and wind turbines.  California has already demonstrated that their alternatives are unreliable.

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.
