Trump to return to energy independence

 Newsmax:

Former President Donald Trump, in a major economic speech Wednesday, said the centerpiece of his plan to reduce the cost of living for Americans is to slash energy prices by half within the first 18 months of him taking office.

"I'm announcing today that under my leadership, the United States will commit to the ambitious goal of slashing energy and electricity prices by half, at least half," Trump told a raucous crowd in Asheville, North Carolina, at a rally that aired live on Newsmax and simulcast on the Newsmax2 online streaming platform. "We intend to slash prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months.

"You know, energy is such a big topic, such a big cost, so powerful, so big that if you have a donut shop, you have the ovens, you have a truck that delivers the donuts. If you have whatever you do, your heating, your cooling, everything is about that. That's where [the Biden-Harris administration] really blew it. They blew it with too much borrowing."

He said his administration will issue rapid approvals for new energy infrastructure, unlock new lands for drilling and achieve energy independence and energy dominance.

"At the center of our effort to bring the cost of living under control will be the all-out push to end the Biden-Harris war on a thing called American energy," Trump said. "We will drill, baby, drill. We're going to bring energy prices down. And just so you know, they stopped [drilling], and it was terrible what they did. That's what caused the whole problem. And then they said, oh, go back to the Trump plan now. Now they're drilling. But the day after the election, if they win this election, the drilling stops. They're only doing this for purposes of getting elected."

Trump said he will repeal "the Biden-Harris regulatory onslaught," end the electric vehicle mandate on automakers put in place by the Biden-Harris administration, and said he will work to reduce income taxes, including making the tax cuts enacted under his administration permanent. They are set to expire in 2025.
...

The Biden-Harris team nearly doubled the cost of energy driving up the cost of driving and heating and cooling American homes.   Electing them also led to costly wars in Europe and the Middle East.  Americans can begin to recover from that mistake by reflecting Trump.  Harris does not have the mental capacity to do the job of president.

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
