Trump will compete with Dems during their convention

 DC Daily Journal:

...

As Vice President Kamala Harris gains momentum ahead of the Democratic National Convention next week, former President Donald Trump and his campaign are intensifying their efforts to counteract her rise. The Trump campaign announced on Wednesday that the former president will hold a news conference on Thursday, marking his second in a week.

The campaign also plans to launch a series of counter-programming events during the Democrats’ national nominating convention, set to begin on Monday in Chicago. A senior Trump campaign adviser, speaking to Fox News under anonymity, revealed that “a whole cadre of people,” including Trump and his top surrogates, will be active in key battlegrounds. “We’re certainly going to have key people in the battlegrounds and available to the media to counterprogram,” the adviser said.

Both parties are breaking with the tradition of going silent during the other party's convention.  Democrats had Biden giving a speech during the GOP convention Trump is planning events during the Democrat show.

 In a move that’s left many Democrats scrambling, Vice President Harris unexpectedly threw her support behind a proposal originally championed by former President Trump — a proposal to exempt service and hospitality workers’ tips from taxes.

This idea, once dismissed by Democrats as nothing more than a “bogus” attempt to win votes, has now been inexplicably embraced by Harris, raising eyebrows across the political spectrum.

I suspect she made this change because polling showed the Trump move was popular.

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.
