Some Republicans angry with Jan. 6 committee abuse of Trump

 DC Enquirer:

On Monday, in response to the January 6th Committee passing down a criminal referral for former President Donald Trump for obstruction, insurrection, and conspiracy to make false statements, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said that the Democrats would be held accountable for their “abuse of power.”

“House Democrats and Vicious Never Trumpers, who were run out of Congress by the American people, continue to desperately and unconstitutionally target President Trump and Republicans,” Stefanik wrote in a statement on Monday.

“The American people see through this partisan charade, which is why they fired Nancy Pelosi once and for all,” Rep. Stefanik continued. “The Republican Majority will hold House Democrats accountable for their illegitimate abuse of power.”

The committee is largely made up of Democrats with the two Republican exceptions being Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), both of whom will not be in the next Congress beginning January 3rd, per Newsmax.

The former president also had a few words to share on Truth Social about the January 6th Committee’s decision: “I see where the Unselect Committee, using the Democrat’s favorite weapon, DISINFORMATION, is trying to make the case that I didn’t really believe I won the Election. This is a total LIE.”
...

In fact, it was a committee specifically selected by Pelosi as a hanging jury.  It ignored significant evidence that Trump not only did not support the attack on the Capitol Building, but also had requested troops to prevent such an action.

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...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
