California Dems act Republican for election

 Epoch Times:

In Election Year, California Democrats Suddenly Sounding Like Republicans
...

So, it remains to be seen if there has been a change in thinking by Democrats about mandates or just a caving to political pressure.

We also see California Democrats running away from the defund the police movement. At the recent Los Angeles mayoral debate, all five candidates supported adding police officers. Many Democrats are now acting as if they never supported defunding the police. The problem is that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are all on record supporting the defund movement, and Mayor Eric Garcetti actually did it, reducing the police budget by $150 million. So, again, one must question the true motive behind their apparent change of heart.

We also see state Democrats changing their tune about the homeless problem. In the past they maintained that the problem is a lack of affordable housing. Rather than enforcing loitering and no camping laws, they focused on building showers for them on city sidewalks. Their solutions included mainstay progressive policies, like building permanent government housing, rent control, and eviction restrictions. They have not worked.

Now you hear Los Angeles mayoral and council candidates promoting clearing encampments and focusing on temporary shelter and treatment. Governor Gavin Newsom last week released an ambitious new plan that would require many homeless to receive mental health and addiction services. This is a rare admission that addiction and mental illness are the primary drivers of the homeless problem.
...

There is really no reason to trust Democrats at this point.  They are reading the polls and not what has been the heart of their agenda.

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
