The Trump indictments are not the political poison the Democrats hoped for

 Red State:

Despite the four indictments handed down against former President Donald Trump in a span of five months, he continues to grow in popularity with GOP voters in presidential candidate polling. 

Understandably, many of these voters view Trump's growing legal woes as further evidence of a blatant banana republic-esque attempt at election interference by the sitting President of the United States seven years after the Clinton campaign-funded Russia collusion hoax was born in an effort to derail Trump's campaign.

One would think that it would be just that obvious why Trump's numbers with the Republican faithful are still holding strong, but not to NBC News anchor Chuck Todd, who on his "Meet the Press" program Sunday just couldn't understand why a majority of Republicans would stick by Trump despite his current predicament:

Of course it used to be that extramarital affairs, campaign trail tears, forgetting a cabinet agency, even a weird scream could end a presidential campaign. Now, Donald Trump has been criminally indicted four times in as many months, and faces 91 felony counts, and so leads the Republican field nationally by nearly 40 points. Yet, outside of former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is polling at 3% in a new Quinnipiac poll and, to a degree, his former Vice President Mike Pence,Trump's Republican opponents, for the most part, are declining to take him on directly.

...

 Later during the panel discussion, Todd's frustration with the current electoral picture only grew after he pointed to a graphic showing that Biden's approval numbers at this point look more like Hillary Clinton's in the fall of 2016, right before she lost, rather than how Biden's looked in 2020, right before he was declared the election winner....

...

The Russian collusion hoax which Clinton and the media pushed in 2016 is still fresh in the minds of Republican voters and they see the current politicized indictments as similar attempts to throttle a Trump campaign and they are just not buying what the Dems and the media are trying to sell.

The attempt to elevate the events of January 6 into a Civil War instead of a low level riot is absurd.

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
