Media slanders conservative election winners

 Brian C. Joondeph:

Italy has spoken. And the White House and the media don’t like it.

Politico White House bureau chief Jonathan Lemire claimed that the election of "far-right" Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was met with "deep, if private, worry within President Joe Biden’s administration."

Going further in Politico, Lemire wrote that despite the White House’s acceptance of Meloni’s win, they view her recent victory as part of a "concerning trend" of "right-wing wins" in Europe. Concern for the White House means jubilation for most of the rest of us.

It’s so bad that the media is invoking the F-word. Not the usual one but “fascism.” 

Another Politico article refers to Meloni and her fellow political supporters as, “Meloni and her ‘post-fascist’ Brothers of Italy.” The mainstream media has been voicing angst over Meloni’s election, concern which has included comparisons of the new government to the fascist Mussolini regime.

Is she an Italian MAGA politician?

AP’s headline invoked the F-word, “How a party of neo-fascist roots won big in Italy.”  The Guardian went further in their headline with some misogyny, “The election of Italy’s fascist-adjacent Giorgia Meloni is a public reminder that women can be just as awful as men.” When the media tires of “fascist” they can trot out “far right nationalist,” forgetting that the prominent fascists in history were leftists and socialists.

...

The real fascists were leftist and were in no way conservatives or "far right."  Fascist has become a far left description of politicians they do not like.

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
