New York's DA problem

 Breitbart:

During Friday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Hannity,” Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz predicted the New York City jury hearing the Daniel Penny case would remain deadlocked, possibly resulting in a loss for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Dershowitz said such a loss, coupled with a loss in his prosecution against President-elect Donald Trump, would likely result in a lost reelection bid.

According to Dershowitz, Bragg was the “worst district attorney” in modern New York history.

“Professor Dershowitz, in this kind of a dynamic, when you’ve got even at one point, he told the jury that it would have to be another jury, if they couldn’t come to a decision there would be another trial and you know another jury would do their job,” fill-in host Tammy Bruce said. “But there’s no guarantee that there would be another trial, the DA could decide not to try it again. It seems again like there’s a kind of coercion that’s aimed at the jury at this point.”

“Well, I think it’s manipulation,” Dershowitz replied. “It’s manipulation by prosecution. Look, your commentator that protested was absolutely right. This is a case about racism. It’s about the racism by the district attorney. It’s racism because if the racial composition had been flipped, nobody would have brought this case. There’d be no protesters outside protesting about a Black man being convicted of murder for choking somebody who — who was white. This is all about race, which is why although this is an attempt to manipulate the jury into coming to a compromised verdict, I think it will fail.”

...

I am sure there are a lot of smart people in New York, but apparently not enough to prevent people like Bragg from taking powerful offices.  Attempting to criminalize Danial Penny for protecting innocent people has to be one of the worst decisions by a prosecutor in recent memory.  Attempting to criminalize Donald Trump looks like another threat to democracy.  Bragg should be nowhere near the prosecutor's office.

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.
