How’s this for a logic-busting pair of dueling headlines, courtesy of the El Paso Times. Keep in mind that both stories were published on the same day this week: One Juárez mayor says residents feel secure Six months into his tenure, Juárez Mayor Héctor Murguía Lardizábal has a surprising public message for outsiders: Juárez residents […]
We cleared it yesterday, which means you can now officially start working for yourself instead of the government. April 12 was Tax Freedom Day, the 102nd day of the year and, more importantly, the day when most Americans have worked long and hard enough to pay off their tax obligations. This from the Tax Foundation: […]
Hours before Libyan rebels on Monday rejected a cease-fire proposal that didn’t include plans for the immediate ouster of Col. Muammar Gaddafi, a rebel leader in the besieged city of Misrata called for America to resume a more prominent role in enforcing Libya’s no-fly zone and protecting its civilian population. “The first 10 days when […]

The Big Apple’s health department is moving into some new digs and bringing a whole slew of new mandates and edicts along for the ride. This from the NY Daily News: The updated rules – which range from what workers can serve at agency powwows to how loud they can talk in the office – […]
Just a friendly reminder that today would be an opportune time to call your local representatives and strongly encourage them to support Rep. Glen Bradley’s NC Constitutional Hard Tender Act. On April 5, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, prohibiting the private ownership of gold and directing private citizens to turn their […]
How times have changed! The United States isn’t the imperialistic, blood-for-oil war machine that it was just a few years ago.
