Confronting the Spin on the Fort Hood Massacre
It is sad and disturbing commentary on the state of American culture when the facts surrounding an event, such as the slaughter that took place at Fort Hood, can not only be manipulated to facilitate a political ideology but blatantly ignored in the pursuit of a political agenda. In the face of the most... »
The Commander In Chief And Today’s Disaster In Texas
Would you have remained in Washington, and while giving a speech, mentioned the killings in a “by the way," addendum? Perhaps not. »
“Please, God, No…It’s So Hot, I’m Burning Up”
"The floor is completely engulfed. We're on the floor, and we can't breathe, and it's very, very, very hot...I'm going to die, I know it. Please, God, no. It's so hot, I'm burning up!" These were some of the last words of Melissa Doi, 32, one of the thousands of innocent victims that perished... »
America, End Your Fear Of Wall Street
Through a century of market ups and downs, interest rate fluctuations, mergers, acquisitions, political influence, lobbying and positioning insiders to the most powerful government and government related institutions, the Kings of Wall Street have nurtured and advanced their isolated power to a point where they are responsible to no one. »
Obama & Middle Class Income Tax Increases
To initiate an advance on the lengthy economic turnaround, the joy ride of debt-spending-with-wanton-abandon mindset enjoyed by Bush and continued by Obama must be brought to a close. Deficit growth cannot continue on a path exceeding the rate of economic growth. The Administration should surface out of its decision closet, and become resolutely emphatic... »
Bernanke And The Super Fed Say It’s Over
With that level of insight you can now go out and make major decisions for your own future, such as, whether or not to buy a house, upgrade your car, perhaps even fly to Europe on the wings of hope. No? »
Goldman Sachs: Thank You Mr. President
Regarding this nastiness of the past week, please do not be too concerned about all this talk surrounding our super high-speed fully automated transaction processors. Also please understand that they are our future. Admittedly, we are enamored with the technological prowess we have acquired. Don’t believe those jealous rumors coming from begrudging low-level corners... »
Does America Yearn For A Monarch?
Not that America wants a king, because it doesn’t, but there is evidently a vast portion of society that yearns for a personality that it believes will transcend it to a place that Camelots are made of. America doesn’t want to literally revisit the anachronism of royalty, yet the British monarchy is as popular... »
Obama’s Private Economic Conundrum
Wall Street is quietly cheering and encouraging the moves of a neophyte CEO. You would too, if you controlled the game.? »
Obama’s Not So Free Money
When businesses complain of the paperwork mountain required along with endless strings attached, someone should realize that the Obama free money has been rendered too onerous to be accepted.?? »
Obama’s Squandering Of More Than Capital
Obama, a little more than a hundred days in office, is making the object of his blame look like a miser.?? »
Dilettantes At The Chrysler Gate
The White House accusing the holdouts of acting against the national interest, is injecting the government directly into the management and decision making process governing the funds. This is a pretense that the activity of bankruptcy is somehow unnatural and un-American. ?? »
A Nation Changing First 100 Days
As noted here previously, this President’s First Hundred Days should have been spent understanding the complexities permeating the economy of the great nation he was taking charge of, and most of all he should have established for himself a thorough grasp on the nature of this peculiar economic ingredient we call inflation. »
A Nuclear Weapons-Free World? Really?
When hearing someone of influence establish a goal for a nuclear free world, there is anticipation that the stance is strictly intended as precursor to some stimulating arguments, all preceded by extensive critical thinking and analysis. When the statement comes for the podium of the U.S. Presidency, the response is more puzzlement than anticipation... »
Politically Incorrect Reaction To Somali Pirates
Captain Richard Phillips is the epitome of hero by any definition. His five day ordeal was crowned by the successful nighttime execution of precision marksmanship that took out his three captors. The White House bows for praise, and Senator Russ Feingold calls for direct U.S. involvement in stabilizing Somalia. Has nothing been learned from... »
First Father Falls For Feminist Fraud, Fails Fatherhood
As a fathers’ advocate, I had hope when President Obama was elected. Some expressed disappointment that the author of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) had become Vice President. They feared more gender-based discrimination. Being a liberal egalitarian, I was optimistic. My president had said he respects our civil rights. I believed... »
A.I.G. ? A National Embarrassment
America expected, or hoped for, a new administration that would set new standards in leadership, ethics, and diligence over the government of the country. Instead there is growing unease as the nation increasingly realizes that the lack of competence demonstrated by its new leadership regrettably appears to be simply more of the same. As... »
Obama, The Third Tell
Previous articles I have submitted observing certain “tells,” have hopefully laid useful stepping-stones in the analysis of Obama’s attitude or inclinations towards the nation he leads. The President has just delivered another significant reveal.?? During an attempt to turn positive in contrast to his consistent negative affirmations on the economy since his election, Obama said... »
America’s Overnight Transformation
The centerpiece of the Administration’s rushed, colossal bailout and stimulus program is the taxpayer support of the nation’s 20 largest banks. Treasury Secretary Geithner, former Federal Reserve Bank of New York President, is Obama’s point man on the aggressive plan to bolster the financial system. As he leads the charge to inject hundreds of... »
A Positive Trend Rising Out Of The Fear
A positive trend is imposing itself on the American landscape. The average savings rate, which had been 7.7% in 1992 and even reached lofty levels of 12% in the ‘70s, dropped to almost zero four years ago and stayed there. In the last quarter of 2008 that trend made a dramatic turn.
