With economy roaring and trade deals beginning to pop Democrats seem all left footed

IBD:
Democrats Are Officially Out Of Economic Ideas

After spending a year traveling around the country on a "listening tour," Democrats in the House released an economic plan that consists of either recycled bromides or pale imitations of what President Trump is already doing. Meanwhile, the party's base drifts further into socialist extremism.

The Democrats dilemma on the economic policy is obvious. Under President Trump, the economy is surging. Optimism is at record highs. The unemployment rate is at 18-year lows, and for blacks and Hispanics it's at all-time lows. Median household income is at an all-time high. Worse still for Democrats, voters credit Trump for the economy's revival after years of stagnation under President Obama.

So, best thing Democrats can say is that "things could be better." But the party leaders don't have any ideas to make that happen.
...
There is more.

There only ideas would likely slow the economy and give people less money in their pockets.  They would recycle all the bad ideas Obama tried that did not work.  They want to raise taxes so they can spend more on their dependency programs which are a poor substitute for s real job.

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
