Democrats largely leaderless in Congress

 Newsmax:

President Donald Trump's years of messaging and a landslide election last November "has broken the Democratic Party," leaving it "leaderless," sinking in polls, and "now fighting among themselves," according to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

"It is a huge mess," McCarthy told Sunday's "The Cats Roundtable" on WABC 77 FM-N.Y., The Hill reported. "It wasn't just that President Trump won the election – he has now broken the Democratic Party.

"If you think about it, they are leaderless. There's no message, and their polling continues to drop. They are now fighting among themselves.

Congress once again with Trump in the White House only has the obstruction card to play under the "weak leadership" of House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., McCarthy added to host John Catsimatidis.

It has left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to bring back the crowds of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to start campaigning for 2028 already.

"The real leaders of the Democratic Party right now are AOC and Bernie Sanders," McCarthy said. "Those are the two that are getting the crowds.

"I mean what you are finding out here is the House is without a leader. What has Hakeem Jeffries done? He has no messaging. He can't make a decision. You got AOC leading the Democratic Party now."

AOC's rise to leadership might come sooner than you think, he added.

"I don't know how much longer Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer can stay leaders – they're in hiding," McCarthy said. "Their own party is working against them."
...

I never considered AOC a leader in any sense of the word.  She comes across as a Valley Girl who likes to talk in a vapid sort of way.  Bernie is a far-left politician who is out of touch with mainstream America.  The Democrats have the lowest approval level of any party now.  When you are polling in the high 20's you are unlikely to win an election.

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.
