Nevada Democrat senator vulnerable

 Daily Caller:

The Republican Party’s goal of taking back the Senate in November could hinge on the ousting of a vulnerable incumbent Democrat in the battleground state of Nevada.

The state, which President Joe Biden won by a little over two points, is represented by Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and is rated by Cook Political Report as a toss-up. A March poll by Democratic Blueprint Polling showed Cortez Masto trailing former Republican Attorney General Adam Laxalt by seven points.

Laxalt, the leading candidate in the Republican primary, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that Cortez Masto is in danger of losing reelection because, unlike Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, she has “not broken from her party in any major issues” during her tenure, despite Nevada’s moderate views.

“I think that’s why we’ve got such an amazing opportunity and such a great contrast with her,” Laxalt said. “This is a pretty centrist state.” (RELATED: Democrats’ Worst Nightmare Is Coming True In Texas)

Laxalt, who previously ran for governor in 2018 and lost to current Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak, emphasized how COVID-19 restrictions “disproportionally affected” the working class in the state, particularly when it came to minority-owned businesses.
...

A Stanford University study released in October showed that 86% of Hispanic small business owners closed or reported facing significant negative impacts from the pandemic.

Biden severely underperformed with Hispanics in the presidential election and Republicans have attempted to capitalize on their gains ahead of the midterms. Hispanic voters were evenly split between Cortez Masto, the first Latina to serve in the Senate, and Laxalt in Blueprint’s poll.

“Our Hispanic community believes in the American dream, they came here for the American dream,” Laxalt said. “They’re not signing up for a lot of this radical leftism that’s being pushed on by the Democrat Party.”

Defeating Democrats is a key to saving this country.  Their extremist policies have resulted in runaway inflation and a loss of US sovereignty on the border.  If there are any moderates left in the Democrat party, they have not been able to sway Congress from a radical 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

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
