Unless you’re still working a day and/or night job, immersed in the Republican Veep-stakes, or enveloped in the latest media ’we really need to know” when Romney left Bain twaddle (btw, I don’t care), you probably didn’t know that yesterday, Health & Human Services issued a policy directive, that in essence gutted the work requirements of the Welfare Reform law passed under President Clinton in | Read More »
Hypocrisy is alive and well and living in Chicago, especially found within the corridors of the fifth floor of City Hall, the Chicago Police Dept HQ on State Street, and the editorial offices of the Chicago media chieftains and op-ed writers. The media is reporting the investigation of more flash mob attacks in the Near North/River North area of Chicago, but yet not one word | Read More »
On July 27th, the United Nations will conclude their conference on drafting the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), a blueprint document that the US has participated in since 2010. As the UN site proclaims: From 2-27 July, all countries of the world will come together in New York to negotiate what is seen as the most important initiative ever regarding conventional arms regulation within the United | Read More »
While I’m waiting for Mitt Romney to hibernate his jet ski for the balance of the campaign season, and prove to us for the 2012 race that he’s in it to win it, I offer up another talking point for his campaign. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides an “alternative” unemployment number, i.e., U-6, which has once again been on the uptick since May | Read More »
Yo, Mitt! This ain’t Massachusetts. You survived the primary season and are now the presumptive Republican nominee for President. You’re in the big leagues. So in this supporter’s mind, it’s time to start acting like it. Are you, like me, having a “grrr” moment? Mine began when Romney campaign senior advisor, Eric Fehrnstrom, went on MSNBC (what the heck is he doing on that network) | Read More »
Is it a tax or is it a penalty or is it a fee? Call it what you will, but one fact remains: the middle class, the group that pays the bills, will get hammered. The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation has an excellent, informative section on their website devoted to the Affordable Care Act that describes in detail how the Act will work for companies | Read More »
It’s been out in the press lately that the President’s re-election campaign has a new promotion to raise money. In addition to tapping the Hollywood set, the Fashionistas, and now overseas donors, the campaign is showing their common man touch with their Event registry. Do the patriotic thing and forego gift cards and presents for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs. Instead, register your | Read More »
Yesterday, Elizabeth Warren, won the Democratic nomination for Senator in Massachusetts. A Pyrrhic victory. Winning 95.7% of the vote against challenger, Marisa DeFranco, our favorite non-Cherokee Cherokee said, “Let’s not say anybody pushed anybody off the ballot.” Really? After watching Massachusett’s Democratic party bosses maneuver to save Warren from having to compete in a primary, you can call into the question the “democracy” part of | Read More »
I came across this article earlier today regarding Dr. Shakil Afridi (h/t Breitbart.) For those of you not familiar with Dr. Afridi, he helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden. According to different news sources, the doctor was recruited by the CIA to run a vaccination clinic to collect blood samples from the local population, including the inhabitants of the nearby Bin Laden compound, under | Read More »
The age-old proverb, “be care what you wish for, for you may get it” is coming to fruition as the hoped for face-off with Mitt Romney is taking hold. However, the results thus far are not exactly what may have been “wished for.” The West Virginia, Arkansas and Kentucky democratic primaries, with Obama losing 40%+ of the voters in each primary, must have increased the | Read More »
