The dishonest media purposely distorted Trump's remarks on disloyalty in his comments about Jewish support for Democrats and their anti-Semites

Carol Greenwald:
President Trump said out loud what others are wondering: how can American Jews still vote for Democrats?  The New York Times and Washington Post are purposely distorting President Trump's point when he said Jews voting Democratic in the coming election showed either gross misinformation or disloyalty.  It was very clear that the "disloyalty" of Jews supporting the party of Tlaib and Omar was to other Jews, not the United States.  The president's comments were not invoking the "dual loyalty" canard, as his critics well know.
By attacking the President, Trump's detractors are trying to divert attention from the Democrats' disturbing support for the antisemitic representatives Tlaib and Omar.  Rather than condemning the offensive and defamatory tirades of these two antisemites, Democratic congressman Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) accused Ambassador Friedman of dual loyalty for supporting Israel's position of banning these two agents provocateurs.  Senator Bernie Sanders rushed to the defense of Tlaib and Omar and put in question U.S. foreign aid to Israel if Israel stands by its ban.  Not to be left behind, Senator Elizabeth Warren joined the pummeling of Israel.  Democratic congressman Mark Pocan (D-Wis.),co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, threatened that foreign aid to Israel would have to be re-examined by the Congress.
And of course, Rep. Omar questioned whether foreign aid should be continued for Israel.  No Democrat came forward to oppose the suggestion.  Not Pelosi, not Biden, not one Democratic candidate for president.
The vaunted bipartisan support for Israel was suddenly shown to be a mirage.  Democrats hastened to attack Israel rather than the antisemites who support Israel's destruction.  Speaker Pelosi joined the fray of attacking Israel rather than the antisemitic stances of the Democratic congresswomen, thus tying the Democratic Party into their nefarious web of undermining support for Israel in the U.S.  Not even Joe Biden, who likes to claim he is a stalwart friend of Israel, could bring himself to defend Israel's decision and criticize the two antisemites.
Not one Democrat pointed out that many nations bar enemies from entering their countries.  The U.S. for many years denied entry to members of the Communist Party, and the Obama administration denied entry to a Jewish member of the Knesset because of his political views.  Not one Democrat or any of the mainstream media pointed out that these two congresswomen refused to participate in the trip with other members of Congress in order to take one planned by a virulently antisemitic group, Miftah.  Miftah claimed Jews have murdered Christian children to use their blood for baking matzos at Passover.  The organization also published neo-Nazis and calls for the destruction of Israel. Somehow the media managed to omit these details of the sponsoring group.
...
The Democrat supporting media is as dishonest as the Democrat politicians.  Jewish support for both is truly mystifying.

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
