Hate crimes against Jews

 American Action News:

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas singled out an anti-Israel protester who interrupted his questioning of a witness by shouting “fucking Jews” during a Tuesday Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

The incident took place during a hearing titled “A Threat to Justice Everywhere: Stemming the Tide of Hate Crimes in America,” where Cruz was questioning Rabbi Mark Goldfeder, director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center, about antisemitic incidents during demonstrations on college campuses. Cruz was expressing frustration about the committee having a hearing on hate in general as opposed to antisemitism when the protester interrupted.

“Fucking Jews and the Israelis, talk about the 40,000. Talk about all these people,” the protester shouted as Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called for order. “Why is it about antisemitism?”
...

“So we now have a demonstration of antisemitism. We have a demonstration of the hate,” Cruz said, pointing to the protester as he was ushered out of the hearing. “Rabbi Goldfeder, let me ask you, has the Biden administration cut off the funding of any of the colleges that have allowed this hate? Have they indicted anyone for funding these violent protests? Have they indicted the people paying for the matching tents, or have they sat there silently and at the university, sat there silently while their students are terrified to go to class?”

Goldfeder responded that no indictments had been issued, nor had any colleges lost their funding.

“I can tell you this, next year, if there is a Republican majority on this committee, you will see real leadership. And next year, if there’s a Republican administration, you will see people prosecuted for this sort of violence,” Cruz said in response. “This is being tolerated with the looking away, the blind eye being turned from this administration and this Department of Justice. And it is utterly disgraceful. And under Title VI, any university that allows this should have their funding cut off.”
...

I have had Jewish friends from childhood to this day and have never understood the anti-Semitic hate.  History has already shown us the dangers of that kind of hate.  Why are colleges tolerating this kind of open hatred toward some of their students?

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
