The Hispanic exodus from Democrat party

 Washington Examiner:

Just in time for National Hispanic Heritage Month, the Texas Tribune headed to heavily Hispanic South Texas to ask a question on many political minds this year. At a time when Democrats and the media are going to great lengths (even at the expense of their credibility) to convince the public that Republicans are an existential threat to the country, Hispanic voters are rapidly becoming Republicans.

Not only are the voters electing Republicans to local offices and participating in this year's Republican primaries in unprecedented numbers, but local Democratic officials are also changing parties or sending strong signals that they intend to change parties after the coming election.

Why is this happening? In South Texas, part of it has to do with the border. Recent polling indicates that 57% of Texas Hispanics and 60% of South Texas Hispanics want to see tougher border enforcement. That's because the small and medium-sized towns that line Texas's border with Mexico are currently in a crisis caused entirely by the neglect of the Biden administration. President Joe Biden threw away years of serious diplomacy and essentially put up a "Welcome, the Border is Open" sign when he abandoned his predecessor's "Remain in Mexico" policy for asylum-seekers. The consequences have been devastating.

With the South Texas region being overrun by illegal border crossers, Hispanic Americans living there have learned precisely the same lessons about the Democratic Party that so many other white working-class voters learned over the past 10 years — Democrats are extremely arrogant, blinded by ideology, lacking in substance, and unwilling to listen to anyone, least of all people and groups whose votes they have long taken for granted.

In recent weeks, the mayors of Washington, D.C., and New York City have complained bitterly about Texas and Arizona providing free rides for Biden's newly released migrants to their self-proclaimed "sanctuary cities." The lesson for everyone living in the genuinely strained areas near the border is that Democrats' stated desire to help immigrants is just about optics. They certainly care little or nothing for border-town Americans who are being made to suffer so that these narcissistic politicians can show off their kind-heartedness at others' expense.

Hispanics in South Texas are becoming Republicans because they see Vice President Kamala Harris go on television and claim that the Mexican border "is secure" when they know the opposite is true. Democrats have sent them the message that there is no lie they will not tell to save their skins this November.

...

There is more.

Woke Democrats have lost touch with Hispanics in the border states.  They are dealing with an invasion that Biden Democrats do not want to stop.

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
