The Democrats war against law and order

Tim Hains:

FNC's Tucker Carlson reviews the record crime levels in Chicago and other inner cities, saying Democrats need to be held responsible for the collapse of law and order on city streets.

"You think [Chicago district attorney] Kim Foxx cares?" Tucker Carlson asked. "But she is not the only person who did this, the federal government also played a role."

"Over the eight years of Barack Obama administration, the department of justice forced more than a dozen police departments across the country to enter into what is called a consent decree. The Obama administration began an investigation into the Chicago police department and they got a consent decree. They pronounced police departments guilty of racism if they disproportionately interact with African-Americans, regardless of whether those interactions were legally justified. In other words, the law is entirely irrelevant to the consent decree."

"Here is a line from the DOJ consent decree imposed under Obama against Chicago: 'Raw statistics show CPD (Chicago Police Department) uses force 10 times more often against blacks than whites.' Okay, that is one data point. It is not the whole story."

"It doesn't begin to tell the whole story," he said. "No analysis whatsoever if the use of force in these specific cases was justified. None. This is not science, they may have graphs but it is not science. It is a crazed race ideology. The equity agenda... And these consent decrees have been a disaster for the people of these cities."

He continued: "People that put 'coexist' on bumper stickers on their Subarus defunded the animal cruelty unit in Los Angeles. Dogs can get tortured and nobody cares, and people, too. and the cops who remain on the forces by and large don't want to work there, because who would want to work there for any amount of money? Terrorizing police with threats of prosecution if they do their jobs. That is what the democratic party has done. And the effect has been what it was intended to be. Depopulating police departments. Crime surged. So in the end, they succeeded in getting rid of the police."

We should also not overlook the role of the Soros-backed prosecutors who refuse to prosecute the perps that are arrested.  The left's war on law enforcement has been a boon for criminals and a disaster for 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
