Pennsylvania turning red?

 Washington Examiner:

Former Democrats converting to the Republican Party are surging in Pennsylvania, with four times the number of former Democrats registering as Republicans as vice versa in the battleground state.

The latest data from Pennsylvania's State Department showed that four Democrats have switched to the Republican Party for every one Republican who did the opposite this year. With several contentious statewide elections, including a Senate race that could determine control of the chamber, the gains signal widespread dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden and the broader Democratic agenda. The rate of conversion is the highest anywhere in the country in at least the last 10 years, Reuters reported this week.
...

A source familiar with a GOP ground effort to swell its ranks said economic concerns are driving many people to switch alliances and that the party is working hard to capitalize on the discontentment. Republicans have held successful voter drives at gas stations, where the pain at the pump has become a "driving issue, if you will," for many workers.

"We're at diners and gun shows, all sorts of different outdoor venues — wherever we can set up a table and people are congregating," the GOP source said.

While the historical swing back to the minority party during the midterm elections of a first-term president is certainly helping, the Democratic social agenda has alienated many generational Democrats in the Rust Belt.
...

There is more.

The GOP still has a way to go to flip the state completely, but the trend favors Republicans.  Democrats help with their radical agenda and Biden's bumbling.

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
