Combat vet attacks Democrat's claim that Iran deal made US safer

 Washington Free Beacon:

Combat veteran and GOP congressional hopeful Nick Freitas slammed Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D., Va.) after the Democrat boasted that her work on the Iran deal made the United States "more safe."

Freitas, a retired Green Beret who served two tours in Iraq, criticized Spanberger's praise for the deal, as well as the role she played in reaching it, in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon. He noted that the deal gave Iran billions in cash as the Middle Eastern nation "actively targeted U.S. service members."

"This was the same time that the Iranian regime—through the Quds Force and Iran's Revolutionary Guard—was actively backing, supporting, and providing technical and tactical advice to terrorist organizations in Iraq that were killing U.S. service members," Freitas told the Free Beacon. "How could you think it was a good idea to drop off loose money to this regime when they were engaged in that sort of activity?"

Spanberger's comments came during a private Thursday forum with the Richmond First Club. The Democrat touted her role in collecting "intelligence on the Iranian nuclear program" as a former CIA officer, adding that she knew the Iran deal "made us more safe" because she "collected information on the very program that was informing our diplomats at the negotiating table."
...

Spanberger's claims are preposterous.  The deal funded Iran terrorist operations and put the rogue regime on the glide past to nuclear weapons.  It was one of the worst deals in history.  No one who supported that deal should ever be elected to office in the US.  Getting out of the deal and putting maximum pressure on Iran was one of Trump's best moves.

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
