The Democrats radical anti-democratic agenda

 Washington Examiner:

...

The scope of the changes Democrats are pushing for is staggering. The document calls on Biden to declare a national climate emergency using the same authority President Donald Trump used to declare a national emergency on the southern border to build a border wall. Instead of building a wall, the Progressive Caucus wants Biden to use the 1976 National Emergencies Act to cripple domestic energy production. They demand an all-out ban on fossil fuel production on federal land, an end to exports of domestic oil, and higher taxes on oil companies.

They also want mass amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. Specifically, the document demands that Biden grant temporary protected status to illegal migrants from Cameroon, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Honduras, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Mauritania, Mexico, Nepal, Nicaragua, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Yemen.

The secretary of homeland security has the power to grant TPS to any country he determines is in the throes of armed conflict, environmental disaster, or extraordinary and temporary conditions. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently granted Ukrainians TPS. With TPS status, migrants may get work permits, Social Security numbers, and driver’s licenses.

The word “temporary” is misleading. In reality, the program is permanent for those migrants in the U.S. when TPS was granted. TPS migrants almost never lose it and most often become permanent residents or citizens. About 70% of illegal immigrants come from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras. Granting TPS to illegal immigrants from these countries would be the largest amnesty in history.

Finally, the Progressive Caucus also demands that America's wealthiest people get more than a trillion dollars more by canceling all student debt. The wealthy pay almost two-fifths of all monthly student loan payments; the poorest fifth pay just 2%. The greatest burden of this regressive largesse will fall on those least able to afford it.

...

 The 2022 election can't come soon enough to get rid of these radical Democrats.  None of these policies are supported by a majority in Congress much less a majority of American voters.

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
