Will Another $50 Billion Stimulus Kick-Start Our Economy?
Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. It’s at the top of all the headlines this week. It’s the number one story and it’s being debated coast-to-coast. President Obama is proposing another $50 billion stimulus package for roads, runways and railways to boost our economy - in other words, to create jobs by building our transportation infrastructure.

That’s a temporary boost to business. Will such a short-term business tax credit boost our economy? Will another $50 billion stimulus package kick-start our economy? [more...]

Canine-American Outraged Over Obama Slur

Word of this most recent affront spread quickly. Reactions ranged from disbelief to indignance. Many in the Canine-American community and their supporters were quick to point out that this was not the first time the president has slandered them. Obama audaciously referred to himself as a “mutt” not long after his election.

Despite Hollywood Assist, Barbara Boxer Predicted to Fall
By James Hirsen
After being in office for 28 years, Barbara Boxer’s world is likely going to get rocked, despite a Hollywood producer railing against her opponent, Carly Fiorina.

Instead the attacks are serving to underscore the fact that Fiorina has not been a professional politician and has genuine experience in the business world. [more...]
