With the market making new lows for the year, global economies showing increasing signs of distress, and new programs emanating from Washington, where does one find some sanity around here?? We’ll be departing from “LD’s Central Station” on Saturday at 9:00 am EST until 12 noon to attempt to put some clarity into this madness!! [...]

In Uppity’s earlier piece on “You’ve Been Stimulated” she presents John Boehner’s video about the indecent speed with which the “stimulus package” was passed. No doubt I will have the Obots screaming again about being partisan in siding with a Republican spokesman about the “stimulus package”, but GOP Congressional leader John Boehner raises a very [...]

The giveaway bill to special interests Porkulus Stimulus Bill has been passed. I would especially like to congratulate all the young Obama supporters, because you are all going to be paying this bill off for the rest of your lives, except for the part you pass onto your kids. Mom and Dad won’t be able [...]

With so much hooey going on – the stimulus package that is primarily a laundry list of every pet project people could conceive, as well as paybacks for all of the “help” given Obama to get into the White House, I thought we could all use a little comic relief. Here, then, is Jon Stewart [...]

This video, featuring Congressman Jack Kingston from Georgia, would be very funny if it wasn’t so scary. In it he talks, among other things, about Nancy Pelosi’s $30 million earmark to save California rats! For those who are suffering economic hardships, Kingston suggests you go to Los Angeles and borrow some money from these rats, [...]

You don’t have to be a Yankees fan (which I am) to have heard the recent brouhaha over Alex Rodriquez (I’m a Derek Jeter fan myself), and his acknowledgment that he used steroids back in 2001 – 2003. It is disturbing, of course – I deplore the use of steroids in baseball (though at the [...]

So says my governor, Mark Sanford, of SC in this interview with John King on CNN (MAJOR H/T to SusanUnPC at No Quarter for this story): Embedded video from CNN Video A “Savior-based” economy. Well, Heaven knows, Obama has certainly been set up as The Messiah, so it makes sense that this would be the [...]

I have to confess that I was very impressed by Obama’s handling of his first Press conference and by what he had to say. One sentence that really got me onside was when he stated that the country could not afford to let Congress “play political games” as was its usual tendency. I immediately thought [...]

We will have our regularly scheduled 9:00 a.m. Saturday departure from Central Station. The tracks remain steeply sloped with many curves along the way. With all eyes and ears and hearts focused on the wide range of developments in the economy, the markets, and the world of global finance we have added a few extra [...]

Here we have some honest-to-god twuthiness from the one and only Jon Stewart, a critical perspective to keep in mind to all of us who are bashing the Democrats’ plans (h/t Larry Johnson, who’s a Daily Show addict): Republicans debate the stimulus bill, forgetting that C-SPAN doesn’t destroy old tapes when a new administration steps [...]

Here’s the ascerbic Fox All-Stars panel on Special Report with Bret Baier yesterday on the stimulus package (we’ll have Thursday’s panel opinions in a few hours): Thanks to CheneyWatch.org for posting these videos at the NoQuarterUSA YouTube channel Michelle Malkin reports that “the Squishy Four [Republican senators] are”: (no surprises here): Collins (202) 224-2523 Snowe [...]

The station is filling up as the weather outside is getting very blustery. The markets and economy remain turbulent. Economies overseas are also in the midst of stormy weather. Banks are flooded with bad loans. The auto industry is praying for an Obama lifeline! Residential housing and commercial real estate continue to take on water. [...]

Just as Daley controlled Obama in Chicago, Daley will control Obama in Washington, DC. I quote the Chicago Tribune with added emphasis: It didn’t take long for Barack Obama to start playing a significant role in promoting Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics. About 15 minutes into Chicago’s Friday presentation of its bid plans [...]

A few days ago, NQ posted a story based on audio of an interview Obama gave in 1995. This piece was about race. The now-viral video about redistribution of wealth is from a 2001 interview, and it covers the redistribution of wealth and justice from the perspective of civil rights legislation. We’ve put both here [...]
