Trump holds one of the biggest political rallies in US history at scene of assassination attempt

 NY Post:

An undaunted former President Donald Trump returned Saturday to a hero’s welcome at the Butler Farm Show grounds in Pennsylvania to finally finish the rally where he came within a quarter inch of death 12 weeks ago.

“A very big thank you to Pennsylvania. We love Pennsylvania, and as I was saying —,” Trump quipped to thunderous applause while standing in front of bulletproof glass at the exact spot where he was shot nearly three months ago.

“Tonight, I return to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and to the people of America.

“Our movement to make America great again stands stronger, prouder, more united, more determined and nearer to victory than ever before.”

Flanked by top MAGA stars, Trump hoped to galvanize his supporters in the crucial battleground state and transform the tragic memory of July 13 into a message of resilience, proving that he and his movement are more alive than ever, even as security concerns loom large.

Supporters flocked to the showgrounds hours before Trump’s arrival, and Pennsylvania State Police officials initially gave a rough crowd size estimate of well over 21,000 people during the chilly October night.

“I will never quit, I will never bend, I will never break, I will never yield — not even in the face of death itself,” an energized Trump proclaimed to the hopeful crowd.

“We have fought together. We have endured together. We have pushed onward together. And right here in Pennsylvania, we have bled together.”
...

Trump has survived at least two assassination attempts as well as political attacks like the Russian collusion hoax and still has a determination to do what he and his supporters can to make this country as great as possible. The likelihood that Kamala Harris could draw such a crowd is remote.  Harris also has trouble speaking off-script.  She becomes instantly incoherent when her teleprompter goes out.

Trump's statements about his determination in Butler are reminiscent of those of Winston Churchill in World War II.

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
