The Dems closing message for 2022 campaign

 Washington Examiner:

Democrats are hemorrhaging support from just about every demographic in the final stretch of the midterm elections. Suburban women, Hispanics, and even black voters are running into the arms of the GOP, making it likely that Republicans will win back the House, Senate, and several important governorships.

But Democrats don’t seem to care. With the exception of a few vulnerable Democratic candidates running in tough swing states, such as Ohio Senate candidate Tim Ryan, much of the party has chosen to laugh off the issues of the day and concerns about their policies and chide those who take them seriously.

Take, for example, former President Bill Clinton, who was brought in to campaign for Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) over the weekend. Apparently, he thinks it’s hilarious that so many New Yorkers are concerned about crime. It’s not like Hochul “gets up every morning, goes to the nearest subway stop, and hands out billy clubs and baseball bats and everybody gets on the subway,” he quipped.

Maybe not, but that doesn’t change the fact that violent crime in New York is on the rise and no one in the Democratic Party seems willing to do anything about it. Even worse, Hochul has dismissed the issue herself, claiming increased crime rates are just a Republican “hoax.”

In Michigan, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was given an opportunity last week to correct her false claim that public schools in her state were closed for only three months during the pandemic. She refused, insisting that schools were open by the fall of 2020. (Ann Arbor and Flint public schools started 2022 remotely). She also lied about her policy forcing nursing homes to accept COVID-19 patients.

When asked about her COVID record again on Monday, Whitmer claimed the audio cut out and cut the interview short. If you’re a Michigander who is still feeling the effects of Whitmer’s pandemic policies, too bad. You won’t get any answers or accountability from her.

...

The list goes on and on. Hillary Clinton, who rarely does her party any favors, suggested that voters who rank inflation and the economy as their top concerns just aren’t smart enough to understand which issues are really important. The View’s Sunny Hostin compared suburban women to cockroaches because they’re leaning to the Right this election cycle.

...

Insults of voters are about making people who already like you happy and not about changing minds.  Resorting to the politics of fraud should never be effective.  Since 2020 the Democrats have pushed a failed agenda that created inflation and allowed crime to run rampant.

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
