Democrats vs. US workers

 Breitbart:

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said Democrats are hoping to give amnesty to some 13 million illegal aliens to flood the United States workforce with low-wage foreign workers with whom working and middle class Americans must compete for jobs.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week, Hawley blasted a Democrat witness for his pro-amnesty position despite the majority of Americans supporting deportations.

“Why would you want American citizens and those who are here lawfully to have to compete against illegal immigrants?” Hawley asked the witness.

“You don’t actually care about working people because you’re hellbent on this ideological agenda of opening our border. You want to everyone here a path to citizenship — you want blanket amnesty. You talk about ‘mass deportation’ … you want mass amnesty … 13 million people, you want to dump into the labor force,” Hawley continued:

If you’re wondering America, here’s the Democrat’s plan: Take the 13 million plus illegals, who are here taking jobs from Americans, taking wages down, taking healthcare benefits, and bring them here legally so that they can continue to drive down wages, flood the labor force, and suppress all of the above. [Emphasis added]

We’ve had an open border for the last four years. We have had de facto amnesty … for the last fifteen-plus years. It has been a disaster, people have died because of it, wages are lower because of it, our streets are in chaos because of it, and now you and the Democrat party say ‘more of the same, more of the same, let’s double down’ … I think that is insanity, it is total insanity and the American people do too. [Emphasis added]

...

Democrats are willing to sell out real American workers in an attempt to convert illegals into Democrat voters and displace many American workers while driving down the wages of those who still have a jobs.  It is one of the most cynical and irresponsible policies by a major party in US history.

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...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
