Michele Bachmann is dropping in the poles. Perhaps it is because she is becoming an email spammer.
2012: The Most Pivotal Election in History
The 2012 Election will determine the fate of the United States…but it’s not about Barack Obama, it’s about whether our society has become socialist.
GOP Census Document Questionnaire
RNC sends out census poll with skewed questions to manipulate the result. Business as Usual.
Containing the Disability Explosion
As recent news stories explain, the Social Security Disability Insurance Program (SSDI), which gives money to workers who become disabled, will be insolvent in six years. While the causes of this trend are various, a new book suggests that the solution might be simple: Encourage people with disabilities to work, rather than encouraging them not to. The explosion in disability is easy enough to document. Over the last ten years alone, the number of disability recipients has grown by about 50 percent. The average award has grown faster than inflation. Keep reading this post . . .
Kim’s Special Day ®
While average families are buckling down and watching every last dollar, some people continue to live in a world blissfully detached from grim economic reality. Among the members of this elevated class are politicians, celebrities — and the Kardashian clan. But even if we can’t all be celebrities (or even Kardashians), we can at least gawk at Kim’s wedding extravaganza last week. So let’s. I don’t know about you, readers, but on the wedding invitations I receive, recommended attire is listed simply as either “Black tie” or “Black tie optional.” There are no specific instructions beyond that. So you can imagine my surprise when I heard that all guests at the Kim Kardashian / Kris Humphries nuptials were required to purchase either a white or a black outfit for the ceremony.

Joey Vento: An Assimilation Warrior
Blunt. Brash. Bold. Politically incorrect. Unapologetically patriotic. Philadelphia cheesesteak king Joey Vento was all that and a side of freedom fries. The 71-year-old owner of Geno’s Steaks died of a heart attack this week, but he reignited a national debate over radical multiculturalism that will burn for years to come. Five years ago, Vento garnered national headlines when a local newspaper profiled his outspoken views on customers who couldn’t speak English. He hung a sign in his order window that read: “This is America. When ordering, please speak English.” Though he never turned anyone away, the grandson of Italian immigrants informed hungry patrons that he reserved the “right to refuse service” to those he couldn’t understand.

Five Reasons Ryan Bowed Out
S ources close to Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin tell National Review Online that the Budget Committee chairman considered a variety of factors this summer as he mulled a late-entry presidential campaign. This afternoon, he closed the door on a 2012 bid, choosing to remain in the House. “I sincerely appreciate the support from those eager to chart a brighter future for the next generation,” he said in a statement. “While humbled by the encouragement, I have not changed my mind, and therefore I am not seeking our party’s nomination for president.” Here are five reasons cited by Ryan’s circle that explain his decision. He’d rather frame the debate . Ryan’s top priority for the 2012 presidential race has always been to help Republicans topple President Obama. He has repeatedly called the 2012 contest a “realignment election” in which the fate of both parties will be shaped for a generation. After authoring the House Republicans’ budget earlier this year, which drew him into the national spotlight, he felt comfortable making the national case for conservative reform. Ryan had hoped that Indiana governor Mitch Daniels would run. But that didn’t happen, and, after he saw the tepid response to his budget from leading GOP presidential contenders, Ryan began to consider making a run of his own in order to force an “adult conversation” about the looming debt crisis.

The Deflationary M2 Explosion
Amidst the financial flight-wave to safety, with stocks plunging, gold soaring, and Treasury bond rates collapsing — and all the European banking fears which go with that — there’s an important sub-theme developing: An almost-forgotten monetary indicator, M2, which is mostly cash, demand-deposit checking accounts, savings deposits, and retail money-market funds, has been soaring . According to the St. Louis Fed, M2 is up 24.2 percent at an annual rate over the past two months. Almost out of the blue, that comes to a near $500 billion increase. In rough terms, the M2 explosion breaks down to $165 billion in demand deposits and $335 billion in savings deposits. Keep reading this post . . .
