The Democrat threat to democracy

American Action News:

On the afternoon of July 21, the Democratic Party effectively stole an election. Fully 87% of the vote in this year’s Democratic presidential primaries — 14.4 million of the ballots cast — were discarded, sending shockwaves through the political landscape.

These voters’ choice for president will not be on the ticket in November. President Joe Biden is no longer the presumptive Democratic nominee.

This unprecedented move raises serious questions about the integrity of our elections, the role of political elites, and the fundamental democratic principle that voters choose their representatives.

For context, our presidential primary system functions a lot like the Electoral College. Voters cast ballots for delegates, who ultimately meet and vote for office seekers. Now, in public perception, these two acts are inseparable. When voters cast a ballot for president, they believe they are voting for the candidate, not electors. Likewise, voters in primary elections believe they are selecting candidates rather than delegates.

But in 2024, a select group of elites and Democratic Party insiders decided that Democratic primary votes don’t count. Technically, this situation mirrors faithless electors in the Electoral College, where electors can theoretically disregard the candidate they are pledged to. In short, the democratic process appears undermined when the outcome is removed from citizens and placed in the hands of a few individuals’ decisions.
...

Thus Democrat politicians selected Kamala Harris rather than voters to be their nominee.  They apparently did this after threatening Biden with the 25th Amendment which makes it possible to remove a president who is incapacitated.

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
