Big Tech employees help underwrite the Biden campaign and its current reign of error

 Washington Examiner:

President Biden raised millions of dollars from employees at Silicon Valley technology firms in his race to win the election, with donations from staffers at Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple outpacing other corporate donors.

The numbers, according to an analysis of newly released campaign finance reports, show how Big Tech’s rank and file backed Biden overwhelmingly.

The president raised about $15 million from employees at these firms, making them the five largest aggregate corporate donors to Biden’s campaign and joint fundraising committee, records show. Corporations cannot give directly to campaigns, but their employees can, providing a window into the political leanings of their staff.

Employees of Google and Alphabet gave Biden about $5.3 million, with donations from staff at Facebook coming in around $1.9 million, $2.6 million at Amazon, $3.2 million at Microsoft, and $1.9 million from Apple, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Former President Donald Trump raised significantly less from Big Tech staffers during the presidential race, drawing about $500,000 in total from employees at the same five firms.

Instead, his largest aggregate corporate donors were employees of American Airlines, Boeing, Bank of America, Lockheed Martin, and Wells Fargo, raising less than $400,000 from each, according to records compiled by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

...

Their support for this dementia-addled candidate should be remembered.  Biden is off to a despotic start and he has been appointing intellectual light-weights to his administration and pushing terrible policies which harm the US national interest.

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
