Another day, another corrupt Obama judge. Judge Stanley Bastian in Eastern Washington’s US District Court, an Obama appointee on Thursday issued a nationwide injunction blocking Postmaster General Louis DeJoy from making operational changes to the United States Postal Service ahead of the general election. The post office is an establishment in the executive branch and controlled by presidential appointees, but this Obama judge believes he runs the post office and controls the executive branch. The Democrat-media complex exploded last month and accused President Trump of “destroying” the US Postal Service after the President’s newly appointed Postmaster General made structural changes.

.Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is calling the House of Representatives back from summer vacation this week to vote on a bill to prohibit the U.S. Postal Service from :implementing any changes to operations or level of service it had in place on January 1, 2020.” Democrats have become panicked as the new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has made efforts to reform the cash-hemorrhaging Postal Service at the same time the Democrats are pushing for nationwide mail-in voting for the November elections. Pelosi is calling for Democrats to protest at Post Offices in their districts on Tuesday for...

Herman Cain's wife never referred to Kenya as Herman's "home country." Maybe Michelle didn't mean to say "home country." But it's a little odd that she did. During his candidacy, no one doubted that Jesse Jackson was born in a house in South Carolina. Most candidates have living witnesses of their births. Obama had none (except his paternal grandmother). The Daily Kos did not somehow get the sealed birth certificate of Alan Keyes and post it online during his campaign. Yet, mysteriously, somehow the liberal website posted Obama's "birth certificate" in early 2008. At least, we were told that it...

Let's say you own a store with a good clientele, but sales have been slipping in recent years. A new store with new products has faster service at lower prices and is open 24/7. You're losing money. What do you do?

<p>The United States Postal Service spent its 200th year fending off default and pleading with Congress to give it the authority to compete in the booming world of e-commerce. Designed as a quasi-private business run without public financing, the Postal Service, nevertheless, is firmly under the thumb of the Capitol, where compromise is urgently needed if the service is to profitably reform.</p>

Trying to rain on Jolly St.Nick? The United States Post Office will not be forwarding letters to Santa at the North Pole this year. Other programs and private efforts go on, but some are questioning why the USPS is unwilling to forward letters to the North Poll where volunteers – not employees – respond to the kids with letters including sought-after North Pole postmarks on the letter.

The globalists are making a new attempt to circumvent and weaken a right explicitly recognized in the U.S. Constitution: Americans' exclusive ownership of their own inventions. Fortunately, Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and Sam Brownback, R-Kan., have exposed this mischief and called on Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., to slow down and discuss the proposed legislation before making costly mistakes. As we've learned with "Comprehensive Immigration Reform," we should all be on guard any time politicians patronize us with pompous talk about "reform." The so-called Patent...

A pair of much-anticipated bills aimed at overhauling what high-tech companies decry as a broken U.S. patent system are scheduled to be introduced Wednesday in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Reps. Howard Berman (D-Calif.) and Lamar Smith (R-Texas) plan to unveil their respective bills, which are expected to be identical, at a press conference at the Capitol at 2:15 p.m. EST. The chairmen of the intellectual property panels in their respective chambers have been vowing in recent months to prioritize efforts to make what high-tech companies argue are...

Postcard Addressed to 'Hill' Delivered ELKINS, W.Va. - Nothing stops the U.S. Postal Service from making its appointed rounds, not even a postcard addressed simply as "On Top of a Big Hill." The postcard was mailed by a bookstore in Bridgeport to Helen English of Elkins, notifying her that a book she had ordered had arrived. It was addressed, "Mrs. English, On Top of a Big Hill, Elkins, W.Va. 26241." English had mentioned to the bookstore clerk that she lived on a hill. She said the bookstore apparently did not have her address, so the clerk improvised. "That little mail...
