Democrats accused of provoking assassination attempt on Court Justice

 Red States:

On Wednesday morning, news broke that a California man was arrested for attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home. The man was intercepted before he was able to break into the justice’s house. He was carrying a gun, pepper spray, and burglary tools. There’s also no ambiguity about what his intentions were–given he admitted he was there to kill Kavanaugh.

The man was also reportedly motivated by the leaked draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, which brings us to the obvious question: Did Democrats incite this attempted attack?

Let’s recall that top Democrats, from Chuck Schumer to Elizabeth Warren, have used violent rhetoric in response to the possibility of Roe being overturned.

When you tell people that the justices are fascists looking to take away your “right” to kill a baby, while insisting that they must be stopped, is it any surprise some people might take that to the extreme? That’s what appears to have happened here, and Ted Cruz let Democrats have it over their inciteful rhetoric.

While Cruz’s call for those on the left to take things down a notch is laudable, he’s probably spitting into the wind. You can expect Democrats to obfuscate from the dangerous situation that occurred, with it only garnering a passing mention in the press (enough to say “we covered it”). By contrast, if this were a liberal justice, it’d be used as an indictment of the entire right, with sweeping generalizations and demands from every GOP politician alive to condemn what happened.

The simple fact of the matter is that Democrats never want to play by their own rules. They want to be able to assert that using the word “fight” is violent incitement when it’s Trump saying it, but when it’s Warren saying it, it’s just her showing passion. When a Republican uses any kind of physical imagery in a political speech, that’s incitement, but when Schumer does it, it’s just an expression.

...

I can safely say that I have never wanted to abort a baby.  I have two children by birth and have adopted others.  The left's disregard for life is inexplicable to me.

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
