Chicoms try to undermine expat candidate for Congress

 Washington Examiner:

The Justice Department accused Chinese intelligence of attempting to undermine the congressional candidacy of a former Tiananmen Square protest leader-turned-retired U.S. Army chaplain in a criminal harassment and intimidation scheme.

The charges were leveled against Qiming Lin, a former Chinese police officer who later joined China’s Ministry of State Security, which is China's internal intelligence and secret police agency. An FBI special agent assessed that Lin continued to act on behalf of the Chinese ministry despite his ostensible retirement.

Lin allegedly hired a private investigator last year in an effort to stop the candidacy of Xiong Yan, who is listed as “The Victim” in the court filings but is easily identifiable, with potential plans to stop Yan including digging up dirt, pushing falsehoods, and potentially even using violence.

Yan attended Beijing University Law School and was a student leader in the protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989, after which he was detained for nearly two years. He came to the United States as a political refugee in 1992 and soon joined the military, where his biography says he served for 26 years, including two tours in Iraq as a military chaplain. He has testified before Congress about the Chinese government's brutality, traveled to Hong Kong for pro-democracy protests in 2015, and is seeking the Democratic nomination for a House of Representatives seat in New York’s 1st Congressional District in June.

...

It looks like the Chicoms hold a grudge against those seeking freedom in China.

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
