It’s a progressive paradise. Public employees get 30 vacation days a year. Anyone who works over eight hours in a day gets paid time-and-a-half. Employees have strong rights.

While supporters say the bank helps American small businesses compete globally, opponents […]
By John W. Lillpop Republican posers John Boehner and Mitch McConnell probably think they pulled a fast one by skipping the signing ceremony for the Obamatrade fiasco. You know, the idiotic Congressional capitulation that rewards our renegade president with even more opportunity to harm our nation. By skipping the signing, the head clowns of the […]

The deadline backfired against the United States in part because the Obama administration has made it clear it wants a nuclear agreement more than Tehran seems to, giving the Iranians bargaining leverage they have used shrewdly.
