Retired officers blow the whistle on Democrat power grab

 Carol Greenwald:

A day before the Senate markup of H.R. 1 on May 11, 2021, (the Democrats' power-grab to federalize election laws in favor of progressive candidates), 124 retired admirals and generals issued an open letter to the American people warning that "[o]ur nation is in deep peril.  We are fighting for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776."

Among the dangers facing the nation created by the administration's policies, the retired flag officers singled out H.R. 1 and S. 1.  Without fair and honest elections, they warn that "our Constitutional Republic is lost."  Under our federal system, the states and not the federal government set the controls to ensure election integrity: that there is one legal vote cast and counted per citizen.  State legislatures are tasked by the Constitution with setting the election rules.

Using government IDs and verified signatures are just commonsense controls, the flag officers argue, to ensure honest elections.  But today, many are calling such commonplace controls "racist" in an attempt to avoid having fair and honest elections.  The flag officers blasted as a "tyrannical intimidation tactic" the use of racist slurs to stop criticism of the Democrat power-grab.  The flag officers compared these tactics to those used by fascist and Marxist regimes to silence their critics.  The flag officers warn that H.R. 1 and S. 1, if passed, would destroy election fairness and allow Democrats to forever remain in power, "violating our Constitution and ending our Representative  Republic."

The retired generals and admirals cited the administration's appeasement of China as the most important external danger, but they also decried the administration's determination to return to the disastrous Iran nuclear deal.

But the flag officers focused on the numerous internal threats created by administration's policies like the destruction of our border security, condoning anarchic violence, politicizing our military to create the illusion of right-wing threats, spreading the divisive Critical Race Theory, and undermining our energy independence.

It is highly unusual for retired generals and admirals to engage in political actions.  But these retired flag officers signed this letter because they still felt bound by the oath that they had taken "to support and defend the Constitution of the U.S. against all enemies, foreign and domestic."  The retired flag officers acted because "our Constitutional Republic is under tremendous assault coming from those believing in Socialism and Marxism which is the opposite of the freedoms, liberty and Bill of Rights that form the basis of our Constitution and our traditional values."

...

H.R. 1 would make it easier for Democrats to cheat and I think that is why they are pushing.  The measures being pushed in H.R. 1 would allow illegal immigrants that are flooding into the country to vote and would also allow Democrats to stuff ballot boxes.

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
