The Dems criminalization of a political opponent

 Real Clear Politics:

"The Federalist" senior editor Mollie Hemingway, during an appearance Sunday on FNC's "Media Buzz," drives home the point that with the indictment of Donald Trump on federal charges over the January 6 riot, the Department of Justice is "working to literally imprison the top political opponent of the current president" over an issue of political speech.

She said Trump not being allowed to "do what everybody else was always allowed to do, which is protest election results and challenge election results" is "very dangerous."

"To criminalize that act, something the Democrats have done every single election since Reagan... The Department of Justice is acting in a very reckless fashion, and a competent media would be accurately talking about that, what a problem it poses to the very existence of our republic."

...

We have a media that likes to claim they speak truth to power that is unwilling to even really accurately cover what is happening here with our Department of Justice, which a large portion of our country recognizes as completely politically corrupt, going after the top Republican opponent while the Democrats are in office.

...

And also not being allowed to do what everybody else was always allowed to do, which is protest election results, challenge election results. To criminalize that act, something the Democrats have done every single election since Reagan, is very dangerous. People see that there are two standards of justice. If you're on the left and you riot and you destroy statues, you attack cities, you attack the White House, and you threaten the life of President Trump while he is in office, very little is going to happen to you.

If you have a rally and a protest that turns into a riot and you bring everything, every aspect of the Department of Justice to bear to criminalize everything, while you did pretty much nothing other than maybe take a knee yourself during the BLM riots, as the Department of Justice, that is very much a threat to the country.

So the Department of Justice is acting in a very reckless fashion and a competent media would be accurately talking about that, what a problem it poses to the very existence of our republic.

...

It is the Democrats who have become a threat to democracy with their attempt to criminalize Trump.

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
