The Democrats' cabal in Washington radical agenda

 Red States:

The last year of politics has seen Democrats take their newfound power and attempt to go full Leroy Jenkins with it. We are down to exactly two Democrat senators who are willing to say publicly they won’t blow up the filibuster, and Sen. Joe Manchin seems to flounder on that promise more as each day passes.

Meanwhile, the House is a horror show of radical left policies, from federal takeovers of state elections to bills that essentially ban independent contractors. Making the entirety of the United States into California seems to be Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s goal. That California is currently a disaster doesn’t seem to play into her calculation.

But it’s not just policy that Democrats are pushing the envelope on. When it comes to the inner workings of the House, Pelosi has thrown all caution to the wind, with the latest example being her select committee to investigate January 6th. In a deeply partisan move, she’s taken the ability away from Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to seat the Republicans he wants on the committee, a historical courtesy that was given to Pelosi when she was in the minority.

All of this is moving the Overton window to places Democrats aren’t going to like in the future, and some are realizing that. Here’s Sen. Mark Warner saying yesterday that he wishes his party never would have started messing with the filibuster, a move that ultimately led to a conservative majority (most of the time at least) on the Supreme Court.
...

I have bad news for Warner – it’s too late to escape the consequences of your party’s actions.

Democrats would love nothing more than to call a cease-fire the moment Republicans retake power, but I believe we are finally at a point where even the squishiest of GOP members won’t be able to sit idly by, at least on the House side.

That expectation is being echoed loudly now from within the halls of Congress, to the point where if McCarthy becomes Speaker and doesn’t retaliate, specifically in regards to who gets to sit on what committees, he won’t be Speaker for long.
...

Actions have consequences. This idea of making a filibuster “exception” to pass a federal elections takeover or that the January 6th committee is so unique that it justifies breaking committee norms is not something that’s going to be accepted among Republicans going forward. Democrats want to be able to shield themselves from the consequences of their decisions, but I think they are finally realizing they can’t. They’ve gone too far and the horse can not be put back in the barn.
...

There are consequences for Democrat radicalism.  One of the first should be minority status in the future for these radicals and then the likely payback.

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
