When Enron collapsed, if you recall, the media attempted to lay its collapse, and the loss of hundred of millions in employee 401Ks, at the feet of George W Bush. You see, Bush and Ken Lay, Enron’s founder, were pals. Cronyism. Case closed. Yes, it is true, they were pals, but it was also true that Enron had been as active if not more so during the Clinton Administration, doing the lobbying necessary to get special favors from the World’s Greatest Crony. But you could only find these facts on the back page of the New Delhi Times. Not in America. (The facts are always out there, the Right just has to work harder to find out where the Left has buried them.) Ken Lay, because he was a pal of GWB, had … Read entire article »

The news anchors last night were reporting that the House just passed the “Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act,” and it was only symbolic because the US Senate will not bring it up for a vote, and Obama will veto it anyway.  Still, it was a great vote to try and rein in an out of control federal board from killing jobs in the US. Here is the text summary of this bill: Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act – Amends the National Labor Relations Act to deny the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) any power to: (1) order an employer (or seek an order against an employer) to restore or reinstate any work, product, production line, or equipment; (2) rescind any relocation, transfer, subcontracting, outsourcing, or other change regarding the … Read entire article »

Proof #1 : Yesterday, a businessman named Bob Turner, with no prior political experience, handily defeated a Democrat in NY’s 9th district, replacing disgraced amateur porn star Anthony Weiner as the district’s congressional representative.

All of the above I’d say, but in that order. While the GOP is crowing, trust me the district did not suddenly change party affiliation. The day the Democrats can find a pro-Israeli, fiscally responsible candidate, they will vote for him. But that will be awhile, now. In the meantime Bob Turner will leave his mark, and that mark will be one that Herman Cain has helped pioneer. Proof # … Read entire article »

There are 10 additional freshmen members in the US House of Representatives who should be saluted for being true to the US Constitution, and for not getting tainted by Washington, DC. I used two votes in 2011 as my guide. These 10 are freshmen members who, in my opinion, voted YES correctly both times. It is just as worthy receiving kudos for voting YES on votes to improve a law as it is for the kudos I gave out to 15 other freshmen members for voting NO against bad laws. The first vote occurred on June 15, 2011. This was a vote on an amendment sponsored by Jason Chaffetz (UT-3) to amend the H.R. 2112: Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill to reduce funding for … Read entire article »
