Democrat failure in Chicago

 Zachry Faria:

Seven people were killed in Chicago over Labor Day weekend. A total of 46 people were shot. In 248 days this year, there have been 461 homicides in the city.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot presents herself as a Black Lives Matter supporter, as most Democrats do. But of those 461 homicide victims in her city, at least 355 were black. Part of the blame belongs to Lightfoot, who demonstrably cares more about making life easier for criminals than she does about keeping honest residents safe.

Now, Lightfoot is trying to distract from her failures by creating a political controversy by attacking Republicans.

Just as Texas had been busing illegal immigrants to New York City and Washington, D.C., the state has begun busing them to Chicago, another declared “sanctuary city,” as well. Lightfoot has used this opportunity to attack GOP Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, calling him “unpatriotic” and “a man without any morals, humanity, or shame.” She condemned the busing as “racist practices of expulsion” and declared Abbott to be a hypocrite for calling himself a Christian.

But as Eric Adams in New York City and Muriel Bowser in Washington, D.C., Lightfoot can’t explain what exactly it is that Abbott is doing wrong. After all, Chicago has invited illegal immigrants to the city with its ironically named “Welcoming City” ordinance. Lightfoot said that “Chicago has been a welcoming city and a city of immigrants since its very founding, and proudly so.”

But Texas’s small border towns are being overwhelmed, while Democratic mayors like Lightfoot are inviting illegal immigrants to their cities. Chicago claims to be welcoming them and has far more resources than, say, Eagle Pass or Del Rio. So why shouldn’t Abbott ease the strain on these border towns by helping, with their consent, to relocate a few of the illegal immigrants the Biden administration is dumping on them? Abbott is taking the most compassionate course of action, both for the illegal immigrants pouring across the border and for Texas’s strained border towns.

...

If she were intelligent, she would be blaming Biden who is responsible for controlling the border and US immigration matters and has been openly inviting the illegals into the country.  It tells you something about Lightfoot's pitiful leadership that she can't handle a fraction of what smaller border cities have to deal with on a daily basis because of Biden's irresponsible border policies.

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
