    Local and state Democrat (and some Republican) politicians are being arrested in droves July 30, 2020 by DC There have been multiple attack fronts in the take-down of the deep-state cabal. It’s happening at the top from the President with specific executive orders, the administration with the human trafficking and financial crimes investigations and prosecutions, globally with law enforcement working with our allies, and also from the local and state levels throughout the country. Most people who follow current events focus on high profile stories. The take-down of NXVIM, Jeffery Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell are examples of major criminal...

    Rep. Don Young to Repeal Every Regulation Enacted Since 1991 Written by Brian Koenig Friday, 30 September 2011 11:38 Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska, left) plans to introduce a controversial bill that would abolish every federal regulation enacted in the past two decades, including restrictions on banking, oil drilling, healthcare, and food and drug safety. "My bill is very simple, I just null and void any regulations passed in the last 20 years," Young announced to a crowd at the Anchorage Downtown Rotary Club. "I picked 20 years ago because it crossed party lines and also we were prosperous at that...

    Crony Capitalism on Steroids from GE to Solyndra. by Sarah Palin on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 9:25pm . In my recent speech in Iowa, some eyebrows were raised when I took on our government’s enormous economic problems caused by crony capitalism. As if on cue, just days later President Obama selected someone who exemplifies a major crony capitalism problem to sit next to the First Lady when he delivered his “jobs plan” speech before Congress. He selected General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt as his honored guest. Having grown up with great respect for GE thanks to stories my grandfather...
  • Why They Hate Us

    MarkAmerica.com ^ | 08/27/2011 | Mark America
    Why They Hate Us It’s the reflexive reaction of those who have the most to lose, and their numbers are substantial. In their self-delusions, they’ve continued to pretend to themselves that everything will go on as it has for more than two generations, with no interruptions in the gravy train, and their stubborn indifference to the mathematical certainty permits them momentary refuge against a reality they’ve created but wish not to endure. When a voice rises to warn them, they dutifully dismiss it. When the Tea Party arose, they were faced with a messenger they could not so easily...
  • Four States Can Stop Lame Duck Threat

    Four States Can Stop Lame Duck Threat Posted on 31 July 2010. Illinois Governor Pat Quinn made it official: Illinois will have a special Senate election just for the lame duck session. Thus Illinois joins Delaware and West Virginia (both having special elections) as the three states whose winners on election day will—barring a disputed election result—be seated for a lame duck session in December. A fourth, Colorado, is less clear but may also be in play. The lame duck session looks increasingly likely—and increasingly ambitious. Sen. Kerry continues to stress that cap-and-trade will be on the agenda, and Sen....
  • Baumbach: ‘It was a piece of propaganda’ [Idaho Election - Ward vs. Labrador]

    The Spokesman Review ^ | 2:25 p.m. on May 26 | Betsy
    Lucas Baumbach, the Boise Republican legislative candidate who created the video mash-up juxtaposing phrases from speeches by Vaughn Ward and Barack Obama, calls himself a “RINO hunter” and a “Tea Party activist” and is blunt about why he created the mash-up: Because he supported Raul Labrador over Ward. His video mash-up gives the impression that Ward, in his announcement speech in the Idaho Capitol on Jan. 26, parroted Obama’s 2004 Democratic National Convention speech word-for-word, though that’s not exactly the case. “No, it wasn’t accurate - it was a piece of propaganda,” Baumbach told Eye on Boise today, “and people...

    SARAH PALIN'S CERTAIN PATH TO ELECTION IN 2012 The McCain/Palin team were faced with almost every possible impediment to victory.Number one,and perhaps the key factor,was a media hugely,in fact obsessively in the can for Obama.Further,rather than as a corollary simply ignoring the GOP team the media embarked on a campaign of vilification perhaps unprecedented in recent electoral history-to the level in fact that any semblance of balance was destroyed. Secondly,the Republican team were shouldered with the burden of an extremely unpopular President,so unpopular that mechanisms were found to keep both Bush and Cheney from the nominating convention. Thirdly,and perhaps the...

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Securities exchanges have a sound network back-up if a severe pandemic keeps people home and clogging the Internet, but the Homeland Security Department has done little planning, Congressional investigators said on Monday. ... snip ... Many companies and government offices hope to keep operations going as much as possible with teleworking using the Internet. Among the many problems posed by this idea, however, is the issue of bandwidth -- especially the "last mile" between a user's home and central cable systems. "Such network congestion could prevent staff from broker-dealers and other securities market participants from teleworking during...

    July 19, 2009 Smoking Gun: Zelaya Computers had 'certified' results for referendum that was never held Rick Moran This has been all over the Honduran and Central American press for more than 24 hours but, as Alberto de la Cruz of Babalu Blog points out, no English speaking wire service or media has picked up on it yet. Authorities seized several computers used by former president Zelaya that contained "official" results of the constitutional referendum that was never held showing his bid to change the law so that he could run for office again winning easily. De la Cruz translates...

    Report: BofA rescinding job offers to MBA students Triangle Business Journal Report: BofA rescinding job offers to MBA students Bank of America Corp. is starting to withdraw offers to some MBA students set to graduate from U.S. business schools this year, the Financial Times reported Monday. The move would affect foreign nationals attending business school in the United States. The $787 billion stimulus package prevents financial institutions like Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) that receive TARP money from applying for H1-B visas for highly skilled immigrants if they have recently laid off U.S. workers, the paper reported. The move should affect...

    ALL BUSINESS:What's Behind Foreclosures? December 14th, 2007 @ 10:31am By RACHEL BECK AP Business Writer -- snip -- Data from Countrywide Financial Corp., the nation's largest mortgage lender, backs up this point. The No. 1 reason its customers have been defaulting on mortgage loans is because their income was cut. That accounted for almost 60 percent of its loan defaults in the first 10 months of this year; add in sickness and divorce and the total jumps to more than 80 percent. Way down on the causes-for-foreclosures list at Countrywide _ just under 2 percent _ is a payment adjustment....

    Luton’s 'Bluebird' takes wing By MARJORIE BERRY Local author John Luton wanted to tell the story of his father's life when writing "Bluebird in Belgium," but the novel also tells of the struggles we all face. "Bluebird" is the first novel written by Luton, an assistant professor of mass communications at Elizabeth City State University. He will hold a book-signing on Wednesday at Page After Page Bookstore. The bluebird of the novel’s title is John Elwood Luton, John Luton’s late father. "My grandmother called him her bluebird," said Luton, "because of his vivid blue eyes." Luton’s book recounts the Depression-era...

    Move Over Boomers Gen-X And Gen-Y in the Coming Decades It should now be obvious to all but the most stubborn of partisans that the elitist baby-boomers of both parties are leading the nation toward a state of crisis similar to the years of the Great Depression and World War II. Only a handful of our elected politicians even pretend to represent the best interests of "ourselves and our posterity". Most of them advocate and implement policies that are clearly detrimental to the survival of the nation and its people. Why? Why are they amassing public debt that can...

    Day 1 : State vs. Christine - A Family Divided by Edgar J. Steele April 30, 2002 Roseburg, Oregon. This will be a brief update concerning the "kidnap your own kids and go to jail" trial of Ruth and Brian Christine, which got underway today in this picturesque, hilly and wooded locale situated in west-central Oregon. I'll provide others as we go along, time permitting. The first items on the agenda at any trial are always preliminary motions of one sort or another. Today, we had several, the most daunting of which was a motion to suppress evidence and testimony...

    HOME IS WHERE THE SCHOOL IS At Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta, Andy Lorenzen helps recruit the 30,000 front-line workers at the company's 1,000 restaurants across the country. It's a daunting task in the fast-food industry's revolving-door environment. It's especially challenging at Chick-fil-A, where the goal is to hire young counter workers and kitchen aides-average age 17-for the long run. As of last year, more than half of Chick-fil-A restaurant operators had come up through the ranks. To find reliable employees, Chick-fil-A prefers to tap what it believes is a unique source of talent-high school- and college-age homeschoolers-young people who ...
