Trump is Florida resident that can take advantage of law blocking tech censors

 Red States:

...

... a Miami Herald reporter who point-blank asked DeSantis if the anti-Big Tech censorship bill was “for Trump,” a current resident of Florida who was de-platformed from Twitter and Facebook after the Capitol riots back in January.

“You’re a loyal supporter of former President Donald Trump [who is] for all purposes now, a resident in Florida,” she stated “… and he was de-platformed. Is this bill for him?”

“The bill is for everyday Floridians,” DeSantis smoothly countered as the crowd groaned loudly in frustration over the question. “It’s what we said. And it would allow any Floridian to be able to provide what they’re doing.”

As to the Trump part of the question, DeSantis used it to his advantage and suggested it proved his point. “But I do think that’s another issue that has been brought to bear. When you de-platform the President of the United States but you let Ayatollah Khomeini talk about killing Jews, that is wrong.” 

Many ceremony attendees gave a standing ovation to DeSantis’ answer, and in the video below you see him crack a smile as though he knew he had won the day with his response – just before he thanked the crowd and walked away from the podium, doing all but a literal mic drop on the reporter.

...

I think it may be game on for Big Tech at this point.  I hope Trump takes advantage of the law.

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
