Biden energy policy would destroy the economy of several states

 Power Line:

IT WILL BE HARD TO CARRY PENNSYLVANIA… [UPDATED]

…or Ohio, or New Mexico, not to mention Texas, North Dakota or Louisiana (not that he was going to win them anyway) now that Joe Biden has made it clear that he wants to destroy the oil and gas industries. Note, too, that Colorado, a state counted on by Democrats, produces four percent of American oil. The Trump campaign quickly followed up on Biden’s admission in last night’s debate:

I’d like to see similar ads in other states, especially Colorado and New Mexico.

It would be lunacy to do away with oil and gas. Why on Earth would Joe Biden and many other Democrats, including Kamala Harris, advocate such an impractical idea? I think it is because they live in a bubble in which the fantasy of “green” energy is accepted as reality. In fact, the laws of physics dictate that we will never get all, or most, of our energy from obsolete sources like wind and solar. Liberals can dream to their hearts’ content, and pass legislation demanding more and more wind and solar, but they might as well order the tides to stop rising. It won’t happen.

... 

New Mexico in particular is in the Biden crosshairs because most of the drilling in that state is on federal controlled sites.  If New Mexico supports Biden they will be voting against their own interest and the interest of their citizens.  States like Colorado would also be wise to reject Biden big time.  I think Biden is already losing in Texas and Ohio and is now in trouble in Pennsylvania.  It does look like the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is intent on aiding and abetting Democrat efforts to cheat.

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
