Musk seeks to rescue San Francisco from liberal decay

 The Street:

Elon Musk is decided. The disruptor is determined to disrupt San Francisco.

The whimsical and charismatic CEO of Tesla (TSLA) - Get Free Report and owner of Twitter, considers San Francisco to be the laboratory of the new culture war.

Unlike some conservatives, who will lead this fight in right-wing states and cities where the risk of failure is limited, he wants to lead this fight in a progressive bastion. If he takes over San Francisco in this ideology battle, the victory will be epic, the tech mogul seems to think.

It will be an outcome which will give the signal and the courage to other conservatives to lead the fight in regions where the cards are not favorable to them. An ideological victory in San Francisco, the city of the counterculture movement, would also make the billionaire an icon of the right, one who succeeded where no one on the right had ever tried and dreamed of winning.

With this in mind, Musk has decided on a strategy of repeating that San Francisco has become a lawless city where street violence is the new normal....
...

San Francisco needs to be rescued from the evils of liberalism.  It has become a semi-lawless city where many crimes are ignored.  It is also filled with homeless people camping on the sidewalks.

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
