Trump retakes lead in Pennsylvania

 Newsmax:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump retook the lead over Democrat Kamala Harris in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on the strength of a new poll, according to the latest RealClearPolitics polling average updated Tuesday.

The state has gone back-and-forth since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on July 21. Harris most recently had 0.2-point lead over Trump but that changed Tuesday, with the former president now leading by 0.2, a key momentum swing with 50 days to go.

The difference: A new InsiderAdvantage poll published Tuesday showing Trump with a 50% to 48% lead over Harris in Pennsylvania. Before that, Harris enjoyed a bump from a USA Today poll published Monday that showed her with a 3-point lead in the state.

Three other recent polls factored in by RCP have shown them locked in a tie.

Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral votes — down 1 from the 2020 election — could be the key to winning the election.
...

The Pennsylvania polls appear to be bouncing around.  I suspect as Harris's weakness becomes more apparent she will continue to lose ground.  Harris is so weak, she is avoiding questions from the voters and the media.

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
