A new, potentially, game-changing factor has crept into the GOP presidential race. It used to be enough to win the pro-life caucus goers and primary voters to be for overturning Roe. That may be about to change. If it does, all bets on whether Mitt Romney and Rick Perry will remain front-runners are off. Why […]
Recall the derision and palpable scorn that usually meets Ron Paul and his persistent gold standard fever rants. Or how about the hearty chuckle everybody got from that loon, Rep. Glen Bradley, right here in our own back yard, and his crazy-mad notion to pass the N.C. Constitutional Hard Tender Act. Donald Trump is laughing […]
‘My Fellow Americans: Now is not the time to weep or moan. Now is not the time to look back and assess blame. I have made more than my fair share of mistakes. People in Congress on both sides of the aisle, on Wall Street, in the Big Banks, in Detroit and in the mortgage […]
If you were born in the 1960s, educated in the 1970s, and emancipated from parental dependence in the 1980s, the ideological differences between Democrats and Republicans were clearly defined. Democrats favored high taxes, government regulation, and wealth redistribution. Republicans advocated low taxes, limited government, and private charity. During the 2000s those lines were blurred.

It’s come to this across the pond, where government agents in the UK are yanking four children from their home, not because the kids are being abused, neglected or traumatized, but simply because they are, in a word, fat.

In a testament to the power of the Union Label, this year Labor Day weekend was preceded with news that the country flatlined job growth for the month of August, creating exactly zero new jobs, while the unemployment rate remained stuck at an abysmal 9.1 percent. It was the first time since World War II […]
You would like to think that someone in Washington must know how to ‘create jobs’ with all the talk that emanates from the White House and Capitol Hill on a daily basis, wouldn’t you? If you listen to Republicans talk, you would be led to believe that all you have to do is ‘swear on […]
There’s no questioning Warren Buffett’s ability to invest. People who sink their money in dry oil wells and earthworm farms don’t become billionaires. Buffett is one of those rare people who can spot a winner, act on it, and turn a tidy profit. Thus he’s amassed a sizeable fortune. What’s wrong with that? Ask Warren […]
At least it does in Camden, N.J., where officials have decided it’s a capital idea to hand out C-notes by the fistful to encourage school kids to, um, go to school. But first, you apparently have to a healthy record of truancy to qualify for the payout, or payoff as the case might be. This […]
