Trump wants investigation of Zuckerberg 2020 donations

 Daily Mail:

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday demanded a forensic audit of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's injection of hundreds of millions of dollars into election offices as he repeated his unfounded claims that the 2020 vote was rigged against him.

Addressing conservative activists at their annual gathering in Orlando, Florida, Trump hinted that he will run in 2024.

And, despite some senior voices at the Conservative Political Action Conference suggesting Republicans needed to move on from 2020 and develop a more positive message for voters, Trump bulldozered ahead with his favorite grievances.

After repeating claims that he was spied on in 2016, he turned to questioning Joe Biden's victory

'And let's do a full forensic audit of the $417 million given by Mark Zuckerberg - who used to come to the White House and kiss my ass - they spent to take over local election offices in key Democrat counties,' he said.

'And I believe you're going to be hearing a lot of it. 

'You know if you're a person that wants to make a contribution you're allowed to give less than $6,000 otherwise they put you in jail.

'He gave $417 million. What the hell is going on?'

...

What Zuckerberg did in 2020 is not unfounded and there is a legitimate argument that it had the impact of rigging the outcome.  One state has accused Zuckerberg of bribery with his donations.

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.
