Media calling opinions 'lies'

NY Times:

Trump Repeats an Election Lie to Top Lawmakers


In his first official meeting with congressional leaders, Mr. Trump again falsely claimed that illegal immigrants had cost him the popular vote.
Because Democrats have been trying to thwart the will of the people on Voter ID it is nearly impossible to know for certain whether illegal aliens voted in large numbers.  What they are doing is accepting the opinions of others as true and rejecting Trump's opinion.

This appears to be a concerted effort by liberals in the media to question the credibility of those who disagree with them on issues.  Anyone who says that illegal aliens did not have an effect on the Presidential race is guessing just as Trump is speculating in the other direction.  If they say they know for certain illegal aliens did not vote, they are lying.  They can say that they think they did not effect the race, but they cannot prove it.

The Washington Post gets a little closer to the facts but still is incapable of proving how many illegal votes were cast.
With no evidence, Trump claims that up to 5 million illegal ballots cost him the popular vote

President Trump’s claim to congressional leaders is not supported by any verifiable facts, and analyses of the election have found virtually no confirmed cases of voter fraud, let alone millions.
Because the Democrats block Voter ID in states like California which is registering illegals and giving them drivers licenses There is no way to verify that illegals did not vote.  The fact is that the Post is also speculating.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
