Transgender athletes at risk after election

 Daily Mail:

Two congressional Democrats have slammed their party's views on transgender athletes in the wake of Kamala Harris' election loss to Donald Trump.

Trump repeatedly made what he calls 'transgender insanity' a key plank of his platform on the trail, having said he would ban trans athletes in girls' sports.

Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, who ran unopposed to retain his seat, and New York Rep. Tom Suozzi, who won and then held ousted inveterate liar George Santos' Long Island seat, are both speaking out.

Moulton, who was also heavily critical of former mentor Joe Biden, said that the Democrats 'spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face.'

'I have two little girls, I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that,' he told the New York Times.
...

'The Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left. I don't want to discriminate against anybody, but I don't think biological boys should be playing in girls' sports.'

He added that 'Democrats aren't saying that, and they should be' but Suozzi's record also contains pro-trans legislation.
...

There is starting to be a consensus that having trans athletes compete against girls is unfair.  I recall the problem in the Olympics when male trans boxers beat up females and did not find it at all entertaining.  I think women's sports would be the big loser if biological males were allowed to compete.

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
