Iran accused of wanting to kill Trump

 Newsmax:

Former President Donald Trump warned in an overnight social media post, as his campaign was reporting he had been briefed by intelligence sources about assassination threats from Iran, that it would be a "Death Wish" for an attacker to come after a former president.

"Big threats on my life by Iran," Trump posed on Truth Social early Wednesday. "The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn't work out, but they will try again. Not a good situation for anyone."

Trump also thanked Congress for its unanimous approval of more money for the Secret Service after assassination attempts against him during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July and at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach earlier this month.

"I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before," Trump said. "Thank you to Congress for unanimously approving far more money to Secret Service – Zero 'NO' Votes, strictly bipartisan. Nice to see Republicans and Democrats get together on something."

The Senate on Tuesday passed a bill that gives major presidential candidates like Trump and his Democrat rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, the same level of protection as a sitting president.

The Trump campaign said Tuesday night the former president was briefed earlier in the day by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence concerning "real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to sow chaos in the United States."

"Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference," Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung added in a statement.

The threats come, Cheung said, because the "terror regime in Iran loves the weakness of Kamala Harris and is terrified of the strength and resolve of President Trump" who will "let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the American people and to Make America Great Again."
...

So far I have seen no direct connection between Iran and the two attempts on Trump's life during this campaign.  But intelligence appears to suggest Iran would like to kill Trump.  While this report suggests Iran would do so to sow discord, I suspect the regime fears a Trump administration would be more likely to respond to Iranian aggression than would Kamala Harris.  While Trump started no wars while in office the bad guys were much quieter.

IRAN IS AT WAR WITH US! THEY’RE ACTIVELY TRYING TO ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT TRUMP! Iran is trying to kill President Trump. That’s an act of war. We should decapitate that terrorist regime. And why did Biden-Harris allow the Iranian terrorist delegation into New York this week?

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
