  • AFL-CIO Slams Green New Deal

    03/13/2019 7:24:34 AM PDT · by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas · 38 replies
    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) may have the support of progressive politicians for their Green New Deal but they’ve lost the nation’s largest organized-labor group, the AFL-CIO. “We welcome the call for labor rights and dialogue with labor, but the Green New Deal resolution is far too short on specific solutions that speak to the jobs of our members and the critical sections of our economy,” the AFL-CIO’s energy committee wrote in a letter to Markey and Ocasio-Cortez. “We will not accept proposals that could cause immediate harm to millions of our members and their families....

    Washington, Dec 29- The practical conclusion of the negotiations for the purchase of the Danish West Indies is virtually confirmed at the State Department in an announcement that an appropriation by Congress is all that remains to provide for the acquisition of St. Thomas and the other small islands owned by Denmark immediately to the eastward of Porto Rico, and it is the impression of officials that the money will be voted next month. The greatest difficulty in the negotiations has been the reluctance of Denmark to agree in advance to a sale while the United States was not prepared...

    VIDEO I smoked 30 Pollo Rojo wing pieces on my 22" Weber Grill. The wings were marinated in the magic mojo at La Ranchera grocery in Broward County. My rub was a combination of Adobo plus Chipotle Sea Salt and other seasonings. One hour of smoking and then the wings were flipped for a final 15 minutes more. Great results primarily due to the very unique secret mojo that La Ranchera uses.

But sometimes I like my eggs fried over easy. Eggs are good. Very good.
