New York not taking loss of House seat well

 Red States:

The census numbers came out a couple of days ago and I reported how Texas and Florida gained seats, 2 and 1 respectively, and California and New York lost one seat each.

There had been predictions that Texas might actually gain 3 and Florida 2, so the change was slightly less than was expected, although still a positive move for the red states.

But one of the best things about the result was how much Democrats were melting down over it, particularly over the fact that New York lost a seat that they could have held onto if they just had 89 more people.

Here’s the Daily Show’s Trevor Noah losing his mind over it in an unfunny piece.

He apparently was so royally burnt that NY lost and Texas picked up 2, he included a picture of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the video.

Now, it apparently goes completely over his head why people are fleeing New York for places like Texas, including lower taxes and now, less craziness when it comes to the pandemic rules, not to mention other regulations.

New York didn’t get screwed out of anything, no one is required to live in New York. People live where it’s attractive to live. So maybe your better question, Trevor, is to try to solve the problems that are causing people to flee.

Let’s ask Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s mom why people are fleeing New York.

People are now speculating if it might be AOC’s seat that gets the axe. That would be perfect symmetry in all this. You can just see House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rubbing her hands together at the thought.

...

If they were counting today instead of a year ago New York would have lost even more population.  See the story immediately below where a father pulled his daughter out of a school teaching CRT and moved to Florida where it is outlawed.  I think the story about AOC's mom is also a hoot. 

BTW, Cuomo was apparently hiding more deaths of the elderly at the nursing homes than previously reported.  Just think if he had not been sending them to their deaths he might have saved way more than 89.

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
