The price of gold responded wildly yesterday to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s announcement that in response to the ongoing Obummer of an economic recovery the Fed would purchase $40 billion per month of mortgage backed securities until the unemployment rate dropped. Basically what he’s trying to do is drive interest rates so low the […]
In this world, what isn’t lacking, somewhere, though? Sometimes it’s this, or that: here what’s missing’s gold. – Goethe, Faust, Part II, translated by A.S. Kline Paul Krugman, in his New York Times column of August 24, “Galt, Gold and God,” rails against an interest in the gold standard, which he attributes to Paul Ryan. Krugman lambastes Ryan, ironically enough, […]
Eleven years after, remember and pray for the victims and their families; the courageous heroes who served and continue to serve our country and communities. Remember not just on Patriot Day, but also throughout the years, the freedom and liberty of this great nation; and exactly what makes it so enduring and unique.
There’s ample reason to suspect that Barack Obama copped a sneak peak at the August jobs report before delivering his DNC acceptance speech last night, which would go a long way in explaining his wholly lackluster and anemic performance.

That’s the former mayor’s take on the Queen City’s DNC experience and the heavy-duty, paramilitary security drop that’s landed on Charlotte. This from National Review: “You’ll not meet many people from Charlotte here this week,” (McCrory said). “The security is keeping everybody away.

Oops! I meant to say: ‘The Man from Hope, Arkansas!’ Aren’t you getting a little tired of all this ‘Hope’ and ‘Not Enough Change Left in Your Pockets’ we keep hearing from the Democratic candidates? Seriously. Bill Clinton can give a good speech. He is a fantastic storyteller. He has a way to boil some […]
Third time’s the charm I guess, huh, Dems? But this was no better than the GOP last week. Pay particular attention from 2:30 on when Boehner is speaking. And you tell me if he didn’t completely ignore the vote: And we’re supposed to continue to vote for the lesser of two evils? Yeah, right.
First it was supposed to be four days with a huge shindig at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which got trimmed to three days with a parade uptown. Now the DNC confirms that it’s moving Barack Obama’s acceptance speech from Bank of America Stadium to Time Warner Cable Arena. Because of weather concerns. As in an 80% […]
Milestones we’ve reached as the DNC hits its stride and Barack Obama prepares to accept his party’s nomination and explain why he deserves another four years: National Debt exceeds a record $16 trillion, an increase of about $5.6 trillion since Obama took office. The charts, via The Weekly Standard, paint the picture: U.S. Government Debt […]
