Schiff says leaker not needed

Jack Hellner:
For weeks, the public has been told that the impeach–President Trump leaker, who is incorrectly called a whistleblower, would testify to Congress.
Now Democratic House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, a serial liar, has said there is no need for the leaker, who made up lots of stuff about a phone call by Trump, to testify, because the committee and the public have already seen the transcript of the call.  That's the one that revealed that the leaker, Adam Schiff, the New York Times, and most of the media misled the public about what Trump said.
Schiff (D-Calif.) said the whistleblower's testimony might not be needed given that a rough transcript of the call with Trump asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a "favor" — the centerpiece of the whistleblower's complaint — is public.
Truth is, Trump did not demand dirt on Biden, did not link military aid to an investigation of Biden, and the Ukrainian president did not feel pressure to fulfill any quid pro quo.  So why does the charade of an impeachment inquiry continue?  The answer is because facts haven't mattered to the media, Schiff, or other Democrats since Trump has been elected.  They just move from one pretend cause for impeachment to another.
Because of three years of lies by the media, Schiff, and other Democrats, now a significant percentage of the public thinks Trump should be impeached.  Trump's enemies have been busy, coming up with some made-up crime like Russian collusion or obstruction when none exists.  The Democrats essentially do a scavenger hunt for documents, when there is no evidence of a crime, and then, when the Trump administration doesn't bend over and hand them to them, they say he is obstructing justice.  One example is that they are demanding eight years of tax returns when there is no indication of anything illegal.  That is, by definition, a witch hunt.
...
There is more.

The absurdity of this impeachment effort is not enough to hide the fact that the Democrats are engaged in opposition research in an attempt to find and issue to run on in 2020 since theri policies are too unpopular to sell.

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
