A US Attorney termination the Dems like

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned. It will come as a surprise to no one, least of all me, that I have not been contacted to take his place. It is a job that probably looks good on a resume, but can't be much fun. The Democrats have been attacking the occupant of the job whenever it was held by a Republican since the early 1970's. Gonzales was certainly no exception.

This weekend rumors were floated that Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff would be nominated. Perhaps his name was already run by the senators for pre approval before Gonzales resigned. He certainly has had experience as a punching bag in his current position.

Whoever gets the job will still have to deal with the Democrats bad faith attacks over the firing of US attorneys who were not aggressively pursuing Democrat voter fraud cases. Democrats are determined to undermine such cases and the attacks on Gonzales and the administration over the firing are chiefly motivated by that.

I hope the next attorney general does make voter fraud a top priority. I know I would.

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.
