Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa showed his thuggish lineage when he cued up President Obama’s speech in Detroit on Monday: “We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people | Read More »
When I was a teenager back in the 1960′s I had a friend whose grandmother lived with his family. She was born in Eastern Europe and genuinely believed in vampires, so much so that she hung garlic bulbs in every window of their house to ward off the evil creatures. When he chided her that it was silly, since there weren’t any vampires, she proudly | Read More »
Every election cycle, they come out of the woodwork, whining and complaining about every conceivable “flaw” of the current crop of Republican candidates. Mitt Romney is “too slick.” Ron Paul is “too old.” Rick Perry is “too Texan.” You likely have a few friends who claim to be conservatives, but “have a problem with Michelle Bachmann” – perhaps even parroting the media take that she | Read More »
President Obama’s bus tour appears to be falling flat in terms of winning over any converts to his reckless tax-and-spend policies. And no surprise, he continues to blame the current state of the American economy on everyone (and everything) he can think of – except himself, of course. Just “a run of bad luck” Obama recently opined at a town hall meeting. It was the | Read More »
Thursday’s Stock Market drop of more than 500 points was a shock to anyone with an investment portfolio, which includes the majority of Americans. But it may also be a blessing in disguise. It might just serve as a wake up call to those who still do not appreciate the extent of the nation’s financial predicament. Because the unfortunate reality is that in spite of | Read More »
Lost in the argument over whether or not to raise the “debt ceiling” is the real fundamental problem facing the nation, which is that we simply spend too much. We spend more than we take in, then go into debt to pay for it. Imagine that your annual household income is $50,000, but you spend $60,000, because you just can’t bear to say “no” to | Read More »
Liberals constantly recite the mantra that “the wealthiest Americans” should pay “their fair share” of taxes, whining about “tax breaks” (which are nothing more than legal deductions) and mythical “loopholes” that prosperous people supposedly use to avoid taxes. But they never talk about the one group of people who enjoy the biggest “tax break” of all – the 51% of working Americans who pay NO | Read More »
The most recent jobless numbers showed an unemployment rate of 9.2% – a really bad number, but the actual number is much worse, somewhere around 15%. The reason for the disparity is that the “official” rate (called “U-3″) does not include those who no longer receive unemployment compensation, as well as the millions of “discouraged” workers who have simply given up looking. You can get | Read More »
When I first heard the story of the man killed by a female grizzly bear in Yellowstone Park this week, a question immediately popped into my head: was the man armed? After all, hiking in bear country without a gun is more than naive, it borders on suicidal. These are wild animals, not placid pets in some open-air zoo. When hiking or camping in areas | Read More »
Both the Federal government and most state governments face the same problem – how to keep from going broke. And contrary to the propaganda from the big-government-loving liberal Democrats and their media mouthpieces, the situation is not complicated – we spend too much. Way too much. And we’re not spending it on law enforcement, the military, nor even on infrastructure improvement, all of which are | Read More »
