Since when did it become “left wing and liberal” to keep a damn roof over your family’s head?

Ross Barkan with the Observer just pissed me off. So, either grab some popcorn and hold on – or move on to another story. I support Working Families Party – and it was Bill Franklin (who is way smarter than I am by a long shot) who guided me to the organization and encouraged me…

#NCDP and #NCGOP – Two Sides of the Same Coin?

Hasan Harnett shook the roof when he won the #NCGOP Chair – much in the way Randy Voller did in 2013 with the #NCDP.

In the end – it’s a complicated situation – as most things are in politics. There are no good answers to any of these problematic questions. But, TPP will be the breaking point for America over the next twenty years, if passed. And, there will be no way out for our kids and grand kids.

I heard back in January that Tata was looking at a congressional seat – but I had no idea he would be stupid enough…

Time to Retire the 77 Cents Myth

Originally posted on The Front Porch Philosopher: “Women make just seventy-seven cents for every dollar men earn.” I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard this figure quoted as evidence of workplace discrimination: from my Facebook newsfeed, to my classroom, to the State of the Union Address. I am sure we will hear it…

If Bernie had his way, we’d all be running around naked living in communes dreaming about Freudian tunnels and trains. But, as nice as that sounds to the “enlightened” among us – somebody’s got to pay for it.

World Trade Organization Says American’s Don’t Need To Know Where Their Meats Come From

In a nutshell, that’s what the WTO said when it struck down the United States appeal over country-of- origin-labeling. But – the fear is that Canada and Mexico will now strike back with billions of dollars in tariffs. Tariffs that will more than likely hurt the American economy and the families that depend on manufacturing.…
