This week, the price of a barrel of crude oil topped out at more than $104. With the growing unrest in the Middle East and Northern Africa, there may come a time when we view this price as a bargain. It was not that long ago when a sustained price of $100/barrel was enough to [...]

I managed to escape the blizzard heading for the Midwest earlier this week, but not the long arm of unionism. The scene was the upper level security area at Detroit Metropolitan Airport’s McNamara terminal. If you are flying Delta or International, you leave from this terminal. People were slowly making their way through the lower [...]

You can follow the link here, or read below. We found this online. Not highly detailed, but it might make you wonder about the true strength of China, and perhaps how easily we could bump them off. We shift production to India or some other hell hole, and China will starve. BEGINS: On June 27, [...]

We first wrote this piece about 18 months ago, when the Marxists were in full swing. Our man Ross Simmons penned it. We’ve seen the damage these people have done to our economy and our industry. Read this and have a good chuckle. Sad that GM fell prey to these criminals, and is now being [...]

The far-reaching effects of last night’s election results are yet to be fully known, but one thing is clear: a sizable earthquake rocked Michigan politics. In an election that is a bellwether for the rest of the nation, liberal Michigan, home of union-driven Democrat machine politics made some major decisions that should excite Tea Party [...]

The second millennium is a time of “fundamental change” that has crept up on us through the mists of the past. It made its first appearance in the Russian Revolution, and later in the Nazi and Maoist movements. But it didn’t have much traction in the United States until the 1960s, when radicals hijacked a [...]

It was an interesting juxtaposition: Just after watching a DVR last night (6/24) of Glenn Beck’s program on how communism is making a big comeback (and it is), I turn on Royal Pains (a favorite TV show) to see the rehabilitation of Cuba. Cuba! On a show about medicine. The only thing missing was the [...]

Why would you wait nearly 70 days to put together a coherent response to the most devastating oil leak (it’s not a spill) in history? Why would you not remove all of the roadblocks that stand in the way of getting all of the equipment, ideas, people and processes to the site as quickly as [...]

The Democrat party has well learned the lessons of Saul Alinsky, and applied them for many years. They had to, as the main branch of the Progressive branch of the party co-opted (or so it thought) the more radical members of the fringe Left. People like Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn joined the mainstream. Unfortunately, [...]

Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and the Weather Underground. They are no longer part of the fringe counterculture. They have been mainstreamed, becoming college professors and mentors to the sitting president. Rather than compose words that regurgitate what they say, we have decided to let them do the talking. They are not relics. They are not [...]
