Increased protection sought for Trump after latest attempt on his life

 Newsmax:

Government officials and others called out for increased Secret Service protection for former President Donald Trump on Sunday, within hours of a second assassination attempt in two months.

Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., ranking member of the chamber's judiciary and budget committees, and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R.-La., who himself was wounded by a gunman in a politically motivated shooting, called for an immediate intensification of security around Trump.

"Authorities just acknowledged if President Trump was president, they'd do more to protect him," Scalise wrote on the X social media platform, previously known as Twitter. "This must change. There have been TWO attempts on Trump's life. Secret Service must up their level of protection of him to their FULL capabilities—including expanding the perimeter."

Trump was playing golf at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, early Sunday afternoon, when Secret Service agents surveilling the holes ahead of Trump's playing party when at least one of them noticed a rifle barrel protruding from a hedged area along the side of the course.

Agents engaged the would-be gunman, firing several shots and forcing him to flee. A suspect was arrested on Interstate 95 in neighboring Martin County and is being held. It was on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a gunman at an open-air rally was able to fire eight shots, wounding Trump, killing another man, and critically injuring two more.

Like Scalise, Graham indicated the Secret Service was not doing enough.
...

I think they should also investigate if anyone is behind what appears to be these lone-wolf attempts on Trump's life.  Democrats should also refrain from their verbal assaults on Trump which may be triggering these assaults.  It is absurd that they keep making their bogus claims that Trump is a "threat to democracy."  Trump is not the first presidential candidate to challenge the results of a lost election.  That happens often in close elections.

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
