Fetterman's crazy Pennsylvania campaign

 Nick Arama:

The Senate race shouldn’t be at all close in Pennsylvania if people just take a look a John Fetterman and his radical ideas. But some of his prior remarks on crime are now getting a lot more attention now that he’s running for the Senate.

While styling himself as a working-class everyman, Fetterman lived off his well-off parents into his late forties. Most people can’t live off their wealthy parents, most of us have to earn a living.

Perhaps that’s why Fetterman has such an affection for far-left politics because he hasn’t had to live in the real world for most of his life with real-world responsibilities. When Fetterman hit out at his opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, for owning multiple homes, Oz responded, “I purchased my houses with MY money. You lived off your parents until you were almost 50. Regular people don’t mooch off their parents when they’re 50. Get off the couch John!”

Fetterman is for a lot of radical policies that wouldn’t go over well in Pennsylvania including making statements against fracking and the energy industry.
...

He opposes vouchers that let children in failing public school districts attend private and charter schools, despite the fact that he sends his kids to an expensive private school because he lives in one of Pennsylvania’s worst-performing school districts.

Fetterman also is ducking agreeing to debates which makes people think he’s afraid that he can’t debate Oz.

But Fetterman was asked if he had a magic wand that could “fix one thing,” what would he fix? Now there are so many things people might think of: world peace, something for your family that you might want to make better, helping the sick. What did Fetterman want to do? He wanted to end “life without parole” for murderers. Was he serious? Yes, he was.
...

“We could save thousands of lives and not make anyone less safe,” Fetterman claimed. “Also, expunges many permanent records of people who have been living their best lives and have been paying well beyond when they should have for a charge they caught ten, fifteen years ago.”
...

Generally, murderers are put in prison to save innocent lives.  I think most people feel safer if killers go to prison.  I also oppose any candidate who opposes fracking and the energy industry.  Pennsylvania would be wise to pick Oz over Fetterman.

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
