Texas politicians critical of FBI raid on Trump's house

 Houston Chronicle:

...

The search has riled national conservatives, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who took to Twitter Monday night to decry the FBI's actions as "Nixonian"—a reference to former U.S. President Richard Nixon, who resigned from office in 1974 following a slew of scandals involving his campaign's targeting of political enemies."This is next-level Nixonian," Abbott wrote. "Never before has the country seen an Administration go to such extent to use the levers of government to target a former President and political rival. This is weaponized power to squelch dissent. Such abuses must have limits."

Senator Ted Cruz also condemned the search, which he called "unprecedented" and "an abuse of power," and demanded Congress schedule hearings investigating the FBI.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also spoke out against the search, framing it as politically motivated.

"Biden's decision to wield the FBI against Trump is a brazen & ill-fated attempt to distract from his own failures, Paxton tweeted Tuesday. "They're fully committed to weaponizing the DOJ to try anything to stop Donald Trump because they know he will hold them accountable."

Congressman Louie Gohmert also weighed in."This is an absolutely incredible move by the DOJ to pursue, harass and now invade the former President's home, who had authority to declassify documents. As we have seen with many January 6 defendants, the process is the punishment," Gohmert said in a statement. "Conservatives need to stay peaceful while verbally proclaiming the incredible abuses of these dictator wannabes."

It looks like this raid is going to backfire on the Biden administration and their abuse of power.  It is also damaging the FBI and DOJ who now look like they have been fully politicized against the regime's political opponents.

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
