The political hit job against Trump

 Federalist Wire:

...

The race for the White House is heating up, but one unknown is who Donald Trump will choose to tag along for the ride.

Many names have been thrown out, but one man is trying to thrust himself into the spotlight with his recent comments regarding Trump.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum acknowledged that former President Donald Trump compared President Biden’s administration to the Nazi Gestapo during a fundraiser retreat Saturday, but downplayed the relevance.

“This was a short comment deep into the thing that wasn’t really central to what he was talking about,” Burgum, 67, told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“I think … a majority of Americans feel like the trial that he’s in right now is politically motivated.”

The Gestapo was a notoriously harsh secret police service in Nazi Germany that relentlessly targeted Jewish people.

“These people are running a Gestapo administration,” Trump said during the closed-door retreat, NBC News reported. “And it’s the only thing they have. And it’s the only way they’re going to win in their opinion.”

Burgum was smart to defend Trump here. Not only does it help Trump and his own chances for the VP spot, but it points out that the Left get riled up about anything.

Here you have a former president being prosecuted by liberal judges and liberal DAs, and it’s all taking place in liberal cities.

Who wouldn’t think that this is a political hit job? If you took Biden to the “flyover” states the Left loves to bash so much and put him on trial, they’d be screaming the same thing.
...

I think it is a bad-faith move by some Democrats to try to criminalize Trump in order to win an election that the polls now show they are losing.  It is the kind of thing that makes many distrust Democrats instead of 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
