Trump responds to ABC's handling of his debate with Harris

 The Federalist Wire:

...

Former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on his debate performance during an appearance on “Hannity” late Tuesday night, confidently stating that it was his “best debate ever.” He expressed satisfaction despite feeling outnumbered by the moderators.

“I thought it was really good. We had three against one, but I anticipated it,” Trump remarked, referring to ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, who frequently fact-checked and pressed him on his responses.

One moment that stood out during the debate was a heated exchange between Trump and Davis on the issue of abortion. Davis questioned Trump about his stance on the subject, prompting him to claim that some states allow abortions as late as the ninth month of pregnancy.

“They even have, and you can look at the governor of West Virginia [Virginia], the previous governor… not the current governor, who is doing an excellent job, but the governor before, he said, ‘The baby will be born, and we will decide what to do with the baby,’ in other words, we’ll execute the baby. And that’s why I did that,” Trump said.

Davis was quick to try and correct him, responding, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to k*ll a baby after it’s born.”

But Davis’ attempted fact check was shot down by social media users online for it’s inaccuracy. SBA Pro-Life America posted on X, “FACT – CHECK: Babies born alive in failed abortions are real, and both Kamala Harris & Gov. Tim Walz refuse to protect them — including 8 babies in MN that died on Walz’s watch.”
...

I find it amazing that the ABC team was unaware of this and tried to argue with Trump about the subject.  It is information that has been widely available for some time and Trump was right about what he said.  ABC should apologize to Trump for their error.  It was a "fact check" that went awry.

According to the study, Muir’s program offered overwhelmingly favorable coverage to Harris, with analysts finding that she received 100% positive press since announcing her candidacy. In contrast, the analysis showed that Trump was subject to 93% negative coverage, a stark imbalance in media treatment.

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
