Ex-Times Editorial Page Editor Tony Blankley R.I.P
Tony Blankley (The Washington Times)
You’ve seen him on many TV news shows. He’s from London, conservative and always intertesting to listen to.
Tony Blankley, former editorial page editor of The Washington Times, died Sunday morning, according to family sources. He was 63 and had been battling stomach cancer.
Tony Blankley was the author of “American Grit: What It Will Take to Survive and Win in the 21st Century” (Regnery, 2009) and vice president of the Edelman public relations firm in Washington.
Unemployment Numbers Terrible!
Regime President Obama is out today crowing about the direction the country is taking because of his policies. He touts the unemployment rate falling to 8.5% as evidence. Yet Bill Wilson, the President of Americans for Limited Government, looks at the latest numbers and comes to a sobering conclusion:
“…the number of unemployed is actually closer to 17 million instead of the 13 million reported jobless.
Instead of 8.5 percent, the effective unemployment rate should be closer to 10.9 percent, and the underemployed closer to 17.4 percent, or 27.3 million.”
Wilson says what we need to get the economy moving is the following:
- the government needs to slash corporate tax rates, which are the highest in the world of advanced economies.
- It is imperative that the regulatory overkill come to an end.
- The dollar needs to be strengthened to lower costs and stabilize energy and food costs.
- The debt needs to be paid down and retired, and the budget balanced.
- Onerous federal securities laws and state-by-state blue sky laws need to be repealed that make it cost-ineffective for new businesses to raise capital.
Yeah, like that’s going to happen anytime soon!
Who Is Leo Gerard?
Starting with the tip from The Wall Street Insider, the Ulsterman has delivered chilling information about the top influencer of Pres. Barack Obama. The man is named Leo Gerard. Educate yourself on the left-leaning socialist labor leader that has Obama’s ear:
Biden Calls Corzine
Biden says after the new regime took over they talked about a “Bank Holiday.” That’s when they close the banks, devalue the currency, and then let you have some of that new currency. Then he says they called Jon Corzine, formerly of Goldman Sachs, for financial advice. Financial advice from a man who just ran MF Global into the ground and stole over $1.2 billion of investors money.
Now Gerald Celente tells us to expect a “Bank Holiday” in the first quarter of 2012. You can listen to Celente at King World News.
Free Speech Is Only For Liberals
In Grants Pass, Oregon a First Student bus driver was fired because he had a bumper sticker on his pickup that displayed a Confederate Flag and the word “red neck”. He was parked in a First Student parking lot owned by the school district. The driver was told to remove the bumper sticker or park his pickup off the property. He refused and was fired.
In Crystal Lake, Illinois a 23 year old waitress was fired allegedly because she wore a yellow Tea Party bracelet with the words ‘Don’t Tread on Me’.
Meanwhile, here in Portland, Oregon, Occupy Portland can walk and sleep all over our laws claiming they have the right to free speech and get away with it. Costs mounted, now nearing one-half million dollars for police protection and clean up of the park.
