Democrats response to crime comeback to haunt them in Wisconsin

 John Solomon:

...

Former Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, a leading GOP candidate to challenge Evers in the fall election, gave a preview of the attack lines Wisconsin voters are certain to get plenty of on the TV come November. In a recent interview with the "Just the News, Not Noise" TV show she gave a statistical tour of the state's more famous blue cities.

"The murder rate in Green Bay is up 60%," Kleefisch said. "There are more cars stolen in Milwaukee today than there are in Chicago. If you are a child in Wisconsin right now, you are likelier to die a murder victim in Milwaukee than from COVID-19. La Crosse, the other side of the state, just had their biggest meth and their biggest fentanyl busts in La Crosse history. Crime is terrible here."

Kleefisch has fashioned a law-and-order campaign around the theme of "take back control" and has offered a plan to hire 1,000 cops in the state. She's hardly alone.

She and fellow Republican Tim Michels are promising to fire Chisholm, the Milwaukee County district attorney who had advocated for bail reform, presided over a massive crime spike in Milwaukee and painfully admitted his office should not have allowed Waukesha parade massacre suspect Darrell Brooks out on a $1,000 bail before his deadly spree.

Michels is promising to fire other prosecutors across the state who don't get tougher on crime. "I will review all the D.A.s, and the ones who have an awful pattern of catch-and-release, dropping charges quickly, and letting guys out on the street, I will remove them from office," Michels told a radio show recently.

Last weekend, 21 people were shot and 10 arrested in the aftermath of a Milwaukee Bucks playoff basketball game, an episode that left Evers expressing sympathy but no immediate plan to end such violence.

The story does not indicate whether the prosecutors who are the problem were supported by Soros, but their record indicates they might be.  Letting criminals run free clearly has not led to less crime.  The law-abiding citizens deserve better.

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
