Earlier last year, ACORN founder Wade Rathke glowingly blogged that Patrick Gaspard, political director of the White House, was a former ACORN organizer. When that claim started receiving a bit of attention, Rathke offered a retraction, saying his memory was
SEIU heavy Andy Stern has often been quoted saying, “Workers of the world unite – it’s not just a slogan anymore. It’s the way we’re gonna have to do our work.” According to the latest LM-2 financial report filed with
I have always been bothered by the blue-collar mentality plaguing our public schools. For the longest time, an overwhelming majority of teachers have rallied around the collectively bargained union flag, supported by union leaders that see their members more as
Just prior to Barack Obama announcing self-imposed conditions on if and when America would use nuclear weapons, he made a North Carolina audience wilt under a 17-minute response to a fairly simple question. According to a rather humorous blog by
While ACORN has earned much of the scorn of the press and public in recent months, its voter registration arm, Project Vote, is actually the entity that has been conducting the questionable voter registration drives. Project Vote has been accused
Tea Party Paranoia is apparently setting in for progressives. It’s like the old Bob Dylan song, “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues:” Well, I wus sittin’ home alone an’ started to sweat Figured they wus in my T.V. set Peeked behind
One can only imagine the “Dean Scream” that came out of Burlington, Vermont the night the government takeover of health care passed the House of Representatives. The always daffy Howard Dean appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Sunday to discuss the
Now Max Baucus tells us: the health care overhaul America was just forced to endure was the government’s attempt to fix the “mal-distribution of income.” It’s an admission that sadly comes after the bill has passed and been signed by
You’ve got to give Enforcement Czar and SEIU boss Andy Stern credit: he’s got a major set of cojones. Fresh off his health care reform victory, he’s renewing his attack on Bank of America, one of the banks SEIU and
ACORN, the ultra-secret, keep-the-books-from-the-leadership community organizing group, called the New York Times to say it’s preparing to file for bankruptcy? The corrupt outfit is choosing now to be transparent? Or did it seek that opportunity to call an allied newspaper
If anyone has ever wondered why Michigan has had the worst unemployment rate in the country for nearly 50 months, or why its state government repeatedly spends more than it brings in, here’s a reason: we have morons for leaders.
Somebody nominate Bret Baier for a Pulitzer! There has never been a more revealing interview with Candidate or President Obama and after yesterday, there likely won’t be one again. The president found his conversation with Baier “frustrating” because it focused
When President Obama hit the campaign trail in an attempt to sway Dennis Kucinich (yes, he’s reaching so low in the barrel, he’s trying to convince Dennis Kucinich), the administration began its full-court press on its allies. As has been
On Monday, I floated a theory about the purple bracelet Robert Gibbs was wearing on a couple Sunday talk shows. I wondered if it had any connection to a similar purple bracelet SEIU heavy Andy Stern had worn at some
I thought it was odd that Robert Gibbs was wearing a purple bracelet (and a purple tie) during his appearance on “Fox News Sunday” and CBS’ “Face The Nation.” SEIU president Andy Stern, the top visitor to the White House,
The wounded ACORN snake continues writhing. This time, the group has been barred from the entire state of Ohio, a swing state where the organization was very active in the last presidential election. So active, in fact, it received an
Newsmax first reported that Organizing for America, the community organizing outfit under the auspices of the Democratic National Committee, has launched a plan to inundate talk radio shows with callers. The action will occur when a particular radio show is
The controversy surrounding the accusations and resignation of Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) is a bit bizarre. When he lashed out at the administration, and particularly chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, it was viewed as a peek beneath the veil of
Militant socialists were out in full force Thursday, March 4th, for a “Day of Action to Defend Public Education.” The nationwide event was organized by fringe, left-wing groups like Michigan’s “By Any Means Necessary,” Ohio-organized “Community Organizing Center for Mother
Boy, ACORN is good. They’re so good the White House should give them a call and seek some political tips. Er…given the recently-unearthed video of the president yearning for ACORN’s endorsement, something tells me that’s not necessary. The evolution of
The Education Action Group Foundation will support Central Falls, Rhode Island school Superintendent Frances Gallo with a billboard dedicated to this public school patriot, smack dab in the middle of downtown Central Falls. Gallo’s recent decision to push past teachers
Look at the bright side, Mr. President: It’s just one less leader you need to bow to. On two occasions, President Obama has made off-handed swipes at Las Vegas, and both times Mayor Oscar Goodman defended his city. Most recently,
Yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden visited CBS’ “Early Show” for a “wide-ranging interview” during which he said, “We understand why people are angry…We get it.” Um, no you don’t. Because if you did, Mr. Vice President, we wouldn’t keep hearing
Courtesy of Victor Skinner, writing on NEAexposed.com: A recent study of contributions made by the nation’s two largest teachers unions reveals that both shelled out millions in 2008-09, with a good chunk going to radical and scandal-ridden organizations. The study,
To the people of Orlando: your long Florida nightmare may soon be over. Congressman Alan Grayson is up for re-election this year. But in the mean time, he’s continuing his gasbaggery. He’s taking up President Obama’s mantle of intimidating the
