Image Credit: theweek.com - Bryan Mitchell/Getty Images By: Edmund Jenks - West Coast Editor In an age of government takeovers and crony-capitalism, the citizens of the United States are uniquely connected as partners in business. Today, a poor earnings/profit report was released just six days before a national election is scheduled to take place - the election for President of the United States. The poor earnings/profit report was released by General Motors, which was taken through bankruptcy in a process that greatly damaged trust throughout the investor and business community ... a Federal Government takeover. This action changed the ownership of one of the largest manufacturing enterprises in the world from one based on [...]
Napolitano announces Deferred Action Process for Young People who are Low Enforcement Priorities
SECRETARY NAPOLITANO ANNOUNCES WASHINGTON— Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano today announced that effective immediately, certain young people who were brought to the United States as young children, do not present a risk to national security or public safety, and meet several key criteria will be considered for relief from removal from the country or from entering into removal proceedings. Those who demonstrate that they meet the criteria will be eligible to receive deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal, and will be eligible to apply for work authorization. “Our nation’s immigration laws must be enforced in a firm and sensible manner,” said Secretary Napolitano. “But they are not designed to be blindly enforced without [...]
Romney Aid blames Democrats, not conservatives for Resignation
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Richard Grenell, the 1984 Jenison High School graduate who signed on to and then off from Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign within two weeks, said extreme Democrats led to his short-term role as Romney’s national security and foreign policy spokesman. In an interview with the Desert Sun in Palm Springs, Calif., Grenell acknowledged taking flak from far right conservatives, but said he was not forced out by the Romney camp. He claimed liberals were to blame. "The far left doesn't want a gay person to be conservative and the far right doesn't want a conservative to be gay. Some of the most hateful, mean-spirited intolerant comments about me being the foreign policy and national security spokesman for Governor Romney … were coming from the left,” Grenell [...]
Obama’s Swiss banks
There is so much silly about Obama's new attack ad on Mitt Romney above -- I'll post about Obama subsidizing overseas manufacturing later -- but the attack on Romney's Swiss bank account is the dumbest part. And, frankly, Obama isn't the type of guy I would expect to make a big deal about Swiss banks. Consider that Obama appointed as IRS Chief Counsel William J. Wilkins, a former lobbyist for the Swiss Bankers Association (despite Obama's claims that he has "excluded lobbyists from policy making jobs"). Also, Obama's No. 2 White House aide, Mona Sutphen, has cashed out to Swiss Bank UBS. via Obama's Swiss banks | Campaign 2012 | Washington Examiner.

STATEMENT OF OBAMA ADMINISTRATION POLICY – H.R. 1315 – Consumer Financial Protection Safety and Soundness Improvement Act of 2011
H.R. 1315 – Consumer Financial Protection Safety and Soundness Improvement Act of 2011 (Rep. Duffy, R-WI, and 4 cosponsors) The Administration strongly opposes House passage of the Rules Committee Print of H.R. 1315 because it would amend the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in a manner that would expose American consumers and the Nation’s economy to the same risks that led to the 2008 financial crisis. H.R. 1315 would needlessly delay the transfer of Federal consumer financial protection responsibilities from seven other agencies to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) established by the Dodd-Frank Act, thus continuing to foster a fragmented approach to consumer financial protection. In addition, the bill would seriously weaken the [...]

Herman Cain on “Right of Return” Israel Policy Statement
(Stockbridge, GA)- In an interview this morning on FOX News Sunday with Christopher Wallace, Herman Cain addressed the issue of "right of return" for the country of Israel. In clarification of these remarks, Mr. Cain released the following statement: I have long been a vocal and unwavering supporter of our friend and ally, Israel. All Israeli governments have rejected the "right" of large numbers of Arabs or Palestinians to return to what is now the state of Israel. Such an en masse return would unbalance Israel's demographic makeup as the world's sole Jewish state. In this light, should the "right of return" "be negotiated," as I said, "if that is a decision that Israel wants to make"? Certainly, and to reiterate, it's Israel's call. Israel has a long record of being more [...]
10 Things You Need to Know About Obama’s Oil Policy and High Gas Prices
This week the media’s attention is finally focused on oil prices. After two years of continually rising consumer gas prices in America, the oil futures market has captivated the Mideast storyline. And attention is much needed. December 2010 saw the highest gas prices for the month of December in our nation’s history. This month, we’re setting similar records with the national average of $3.14/gallon–fifty cents higher than it was a year ago. If this trend continues, the summer of 2011 will hit consumers much harder than in the summer of 2008 when prices soared above $4/gallon. But if you only read, hear or see this week’s news reports, you would think that oil and gas prices were doing just fine until the historic events in Egypt, Libya and across the Middle East [...]
