Media accused of distorting Trump's comments about Liz Cheney

 DC Daily Journal:

HBO host Bill Maher recently took aim at media outlets for their portrayal of former President Donald Trump’s comments regarding Liz Cheney, the former Republican Representative from Wyoming. During a forum hosted by Tucker Carlson, Trump accused Cheney of consistently pushing for war and suggested that her foreign policy views might change if she had guns “trained on her” at some point in her life. Maher argued that reports claiming Trump wanted Cheney executed were misleading.

“I woke up today to the headline that Trump had called for a firing squad for Liz Cheney, and this is what I really don’t like about the media,” Maher said during a panel discussion on Overtime, a webcast following his main show, Real Time with Bill Maher. He emphasized, “No, he didn’t … you don’t have to move me to not like Donald Trump.”

Podcaster Michael Moynihan echoed Maher’s sentiments, pointing out, “He says so many sh*tty things, why do you have to do that?” This response came as Maher highlighted articles from major outlets like The Washington Post and CNN that suggested Trump was wishing for Cheney to meet a violent end.

The left in the media tends to hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest when it comes to Trump. They think they know where his heart is, but they do not.  We already knew that Cheney was not a fan of Trump because he opposed the foreign policy she preferred.  What Trump was trying to say is that if Cheney was in the position she would put the Troops in she would have a different point of view.

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
