Rep. Cuellar challenged by far left Democrat in the Valley

 Breitbart:

The fate of Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) will be decided in less than a week as he is going up against Democrat Jessica Cisneros, backed by far-left Democrats across the country, on March 1 in the country’s first primary elections for the midterm elections.

With less than a week left before the primaries, Cuellar is fighting in one of the toughest primary battles, becoming one of the must-watch primaries races next Tuesday. As Politico wrote, if Cisneros successfully topples Cuellar in the Democrat primary, it would trigger a once-in-a-generation shakeup for border district politics.

Leading up to the election, Cuellar — who recently had a “court-authorized” FBI raid of his house and has insisted he did nothing wrong but will cooperate with the authorities in the investigation — has seen droves of far-left Democrats lining up to back Cisneros instead of himself.

Some of the Democrats have even descended on the district to show their face, such as the so-called Squad member herself, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), hoping Cisneros successfully primary’s Cuellar and joins the ranks of far-left members in Congress.

Politico also indicated that Cuellar, ahead of the primary, has tried to “saturate the race with some of the same messages that the national GOP has used to smear liberals like Cisneros, warning against a rising left that wants to defund the police and slash border enforcement.” However, Cisneros has brushed off those attacks.

...

The majority of Texas Hispanics agree with Cuellar on these points.  However, many of them are now actively supporting Republicans and voting in the GOP primary which could give Cisneros a chance.  I think if she wins she will have a difficult time beating a Hispanic Republican this year.

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
