The unfair treatment of Trump by the media

Jack Hellner:
There certainly are lots of unexplained coincidences going on:
The Chinese president has agreed to lower tariffs on vehicle imports but suggests that these tariffs were going to be reduced anyway and were cut not because of President Trump.  I wonder why the tariffs weren't reduced during Obama's eight years.
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday said his government would "significantly lower" tariffs on vehicle imports this year as part of efforts to further open its giant economy to the world.
The other day, the Associated Press gave credit to China for holding North Korea to account and, once again, another coincidence, failed to give President Trump credit.  It must be a complete coincidence that China is finally holding North Korea to account, one year after Trump took office, instead of during the administrations of the previous three presidents.
Oh, and there are some more coincidences.
The economy is growing much faster now than during Obama's eight years.  It must be a coincidence and not related to President Trump's and the GOP Congress's lower taxes and fewer regulations.
Manufacturing jobs are increasing rapidly.  That must be a coincidence and not related to Trump's policies of focusing day in and day out on manufacturing jobs.
Mark Zuckerburg says he tries his best to make sure Facebook is fair and unbiased.  Then it must be a coincidence that the algorithms and employees block postings from black conservatives like Diamond and Silk and don't similarly block people supporting liberals.
Facebook blocking conservatives is as much of a coincidence as IRS targeting political opponents of Obama after he compared them to domestic terrorists and left-wing Senator Dick Durbin asking them to target conservatives.
The media and Democrats used to be proud of the data-mining by Obama.  It must be a coincidence that all of a sudden, they care about people's privacy after a Republican won the presidency.  Maybe someday they will again care about girls' privacy in locker rooms and restrooms.
... 
From early in the 2016 election cycle the media decided that they were so opposed to Trump that they had no obligation to be fair to him.  That position has not changed since his election despite widespread support for his policies by voters.  There is still a disdain for those voters and the President.

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
