Texas Democrat threatens assault on Sen. Cruz

 The Federalist Wire:

...

In a fiery interview with NBC 5’s Phil Prazan and Gromer Jeffers of the Dallas Morning News, Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas didn’t hold back when asked how Democrats can secure victories in the Lone Star State.

“How do you win elections in Texas as a Democrat? What do you do? Especially statewide,” the interviewers pressed. Crockett’s response was anything but subtle.

“I think that you punch,” she declared. “I think you punch. I think you’re ok with — you’re ok with punching.” Her words carried a punch of their own, embracing a confrontational style that stood out sharply against the backdrop of years of criticism from the left about the right’s alleged use of aggressive rhetoric.

Crockett didn’t stop there. Reflecting on past campaigns, she added, “You know, I think, and I love Colin, and I think towards the end, he started to punch a little harder.” But it was her comments about Republican Senator Ted Cruz that really turned heads.

“But, like, it’s Ted Cruz. I mean, like, this dude has to be knocked over the head, like, hard, right?” she said, doubling down on her vivid imagery. “Like, there is no niceties with him, like, at all. Like, you go clean off on him, right?”
...

Ted Cruz is one of the smartest members in Congress and Jasmine Crockett is not.  I strongly doubt that Crockett would be competitive in a statewide race in Texas.  She will have to be content with running in a district that is largely made up of leftist Democrats.

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.
