A hostile media mischaracterizes Trump statements about Cheny

 Breitbart:

Fact Check: CNN Reporter Falsely Claims Trump Called for Liz Cheney to Be Executed

...

Trump’s remarks about Cheney being eager to send troops into war without understanding how it feels were taken out of context. The former president was questioning how Cheney would feel if she were the one being sent to fight on the front lines of war.
...

As Breitbart News has previously reported, Trump did not call for Cheney to be executed. He was talking to Tucker Carlson about “the reason” Cheney does not like him, which he says is because “she wanted to stay in Iraq,” adding that she “always wanted to go to war with people.”

Trump proceeded to ponder how Cheney would feel if she were the one who was being sent to fight in a war....
...

There seems to be a tendency for the media and Trump's political opponents to mischaracterize his speeches.  They seem unable to make a political argument on the merits when it comes to Trump.  The Trump presidency was much more peaceful and prosperous for Americans.

A Friday morning press release from the Harris campaign fueled the narrative: “In case you weren’t up past midnight eastern time,” it read, “Donald Trump sat down with Tucker Carlson in a late-night town hall where he suggested that Republican Liz Cheney should face a firing squad.”

The conversation took place at a Thursday event in Arizona where proceeds were raised to support those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Trump, addressing Cheney’s hawkish stance, quipped, “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.” The remark was part of a larger critique of political figures in Washington who, in his view, advocate war without consequence.

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.
