Intelligence reports indicate Iran wants to hurt Trump campaign

 DC Daily Journal:

...

And U.S. intelligence just delivered Trump a terrifying report that changes the 2024 race completely.

Top intelligence officials have confirmed what many have long suspected: Iran is behind a cyberattack targeting former President Donald Trump’s campaign, as well as attempts to breach individuals linked to both major political parties.

This revelation comes as no surprise to those who recognize Tehran’s desperate attempts to meddle in the 2024 presidential election.

Previously, tech giants Microsoft and Google had exposed Iran’s breach of a campaign, further solidifying concerns about Tehran’s intentions.

Intelligence officials made it clear that Iran’s objective is to “stoke discord and undermine confidence in our democratic institutions,” a tactic that’s become all too familiar.

In a joint statement, the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency emphasized, “Protecting the integrity of our elections from foreign influence or interference is our priority.”

“We will not tolerate foreign efforts to influence or interfere with our elections, including the targeting of American political campaigns.”

Google also revealed that the Iranian hackers didn’t stop at Trump’s campaign — they also attempted to infiltrate accounts tied to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
...

It tells you who Iran fears the most that Trump is a target.  When Trump was previously in office he approved of a hit on an Iranian terrorist who had been implicated in attacks on Americans.

Iran Wants Trump Eliminated by Election Day

...

In the assessments of several governments, the Iranian regime has made clear it wants to rid itself of Trump — and it believes it must do so by Election Day.

The ayatollahs' mortal animus against Trump is not a secret.

After Trump ordered a Baghdad drone missile strike in January 2020 that successfully killed Qassem Soleimani, head of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), Tehran vowed bloody revenge.

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
