Trudeau not held in high regard at EU Parliament

 Andrea Widburg:

...

"You are a disgrace" stated Christine Anderson, German member of the EU Parliament. Anderson accused Trudeau of admiring China's basic dictatorship, and called out the prime minister for trampling on "fundamental rights by criminalizing his own citizens as terrorists just because they dare to stand up to his perverted concept of democracy."

Back in Canada, state-funded CBC News has not reported on the incident. In a statement that went viral online, MEP Mislav Kolakusic of Croatia condemned Trudeau in the worst of terms:

"There are those among us who trample on those fundamental values," a reference to some protesters' controversial encounter with police horses near Parliament Hill.

Speaking of Mr. Trudeau, Kolakusic said "united citizens of the world can stop a regime that wants to destroy the freedom of citizens, either by bombs or harmful pharmaceutical products."

Another MEP, Cristian Terhes of Romania, refused to join a meeting because Trudeau was in attendance. Terhes stated that the Canadian prime minister can't come and "teach democracy lessons to Putin from the European Parliament when you trample with horse hooves your own citizens who are demanding their fundamental rights be respected."

Only one newspaper in Canada — the Toronto Sun — bothered to let people know that their prime minister does not inspire universal respect.  Instead, he disgusted those committed to real democracy, not the same soggy simulacrum of democracy that is the norm in such places as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (i.e., North Korea), the Democratic Republic of Congo, the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, etc.  (And who can forget the name the Soviets bestowed on East Germany?  The German Democratic Republic.)

...

There is much more including Twitter videos of the dressing down. It is interesting that most of the Canadian media ignored the dressing down of their PM.  It must be liberal privilege.

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.
