Getting Trump was more important to media than Hunter's laptop

 Washington Examiner:

Real Time host Bill Maher accused the establishment media of a "conspiracy" to keep the Hunter Biden laptop story quiet until after the election — so they could "get rid" of former President Donald Trump.

Maher made the remarks during his show on Friday night, referencing podcaster Sam Harris's candid approval of the purported "conspiracy" to suppress the story in the waning weeks of the 2020 presidential campaign.

The liberal HBO comedian pressed his liberal guests about whether burying the scandal was appropriate.

"He's saying that's what they did, and that is what they did," Maher said. "They buried the Hunter Biden story before the election because they were, like, 'We can't risk having the election thrown to Trump. We'll tell them after the election.'"

"Is it OK to have a conspiracy to get rid of Trump," the host continued. "Look, let’s not pussyfoot around this — he was selling the influence of his father, Joe Biden. I mean, most political sons do, but let's not pretend at least that was going on."

...

The media would rather have a dementia-addled corrupt politician who benefited from his family's influence peddling than a guy who worked for free and was not beholding to foreign bribery schemes.   The media is still trying to push an unsupported narrative that Trump was a crook.  They are mainly trying to do this to keep him from running for office.  They are the real threat to democracy.  The democrats are also pushing the false narrative that questioning the vote count, which they have often done, is a threat to democracy.

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
