Trump's growing support from unions

 Red State:

In a completely unprecedented and historic move, the Teamsters -- after decades of supporting Democrats -- decided not to endorse Kamala Harris or anyone else. But on top of that, they also released the results of two polls of their members, an online poll and a phone poll. Both showed the members overwhelmingly supporting former President Donald Trump.
...

The online poll was 59.6 percent for Trump and the phone poll was 58 percent. Both had him far ahead of Harris.

One would have to think that's a very positive indication in places like Pennsylvania and the other Rust Belt states, combined with what we've seen from the voter focus groups and media canvassing. Not to mention the Gallup poll that shows Trump more popular than Harris.
...

The Teamsters wasn't the only union where the rank and file were also weighing in for Trump.

Here's Bob Bartels, the business manager of Steamfitters Local 638. He says 70 percent of his members also voted for Trump.

Fox News commentator Brian Kilmeade asked him why, and Bartels hit him with a litany of reasons including the economy and illegal immigration in New York City.

Then there were the members of the UAW. While the officials endorsed Harris, Brian Pannebecker of Autoworkers for Trump said he was doing rallies with autoworkers every week in the Detroit area.
...

He said that 65-70 percent of the UAW workers were supporting Trump "Because the very existence of our industry is at stake." "It's an existential threat if Kamala Harris is elected president," he said. One might even say it could be a "bloodbath." He brings up how Harris wants to get rid of gas-powered vehicles by 2035. "That will completely annihilate the domestic auto industry," Pannebecker said.
...

Trump is also getting support from members of the Hollywood union.  It looks like the Biden economy is one of the reasons for the Union's support.  Inflation is probably one of the main reasons.   Biden's reckless spending triggered the inflation which reduced the purchasing power of those on a fixed income.  BTW, the Democrats in Congress also supported the reckless spending.

A Trump supporter explained, “The economy,” he replied. “Getting the interest rates down. Getting it where we can afford to live in America. Right now, it’s too expensive.”

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
