Soros's response to crime spree criticized

 Daily Caller:

A Fox News guest ripped into billionaire George Soros for being in “deep denial” about the consequences of funding left-wing prosecutors during a Monday appearance on Fox News.

“He must be in super deep denial and does not want to face the facts, which is not just a minor microscopic increase” in crime, Deroy Murdock, a contributor for National Review, told “America Reports” host Sandra Smith.

“People come in and say well, the criminal justice system is racist so we have to let people on the streets, get rid of cash bail, give them a third, fourth, fifth, seventh, 18th, 25th chance, and these people almost always go back and commit crime, the violence continues,” Murdock said. “We saw just here in New York the other day, this 16-year-old thug beat up a couple of cops. He was back on the street the next day. He had been arrested for robbery the previous week, let go, then he beat up the cops, was let go again. If he commits another crime, he’ll probably be back on the streets again.”
...

Voters in San Francisco recalled Chesa Boudin, one of the prosecutors Soros supported, in June. Another recall campaign is targeting George Gascon, another Soros-backed district attorney in Los Angeles.

Soros defended the prosecutors he funded in a Monday op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, saying he sought to “end the criminalization of poverty and mental illness.”

“In recent years, reform-minded prosecutors and other law-enforcement officials around the country have been coalescing around an agenda that promises to be more effective and just,” Soros wrote.

Earlier Monday, another Fox News guest ripped Soros and his prosecutors.

“He’s living in an alternative universe,” attorney Leo Terrell said. “George Soros does not live in Chicago or L.A. He has private security. Those cities like Chicago and New York are run by minorities. He’s claiming the criminal justice system is racist. What he wants to do is eliminate the criminal justice system.”
...

I think Terrell nails it.  Soros does not have to live with the consequences of the DAs he supports.  He also ignores the fact that the poor are the victims of many of the crimes that are not being prosecuted.  Also, the victims of crimes by people with mental illness deserve justice too.  Turning them loose to commit more crimes just increases the number of victims.

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
