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. [...]

I will admit that, given the current dynamics at work in the economy and the markets, I have become somewhat numbed as to the magnitude of some of the developments. Many of the highlights that I will offer from yesterday’s news would be enormous stories in and of themselves. Taken collectively, they do become overwhelming [...]

No Quarter introduced readers to the Mutual Bank in Chicago after a Chicago Sun-Times columnist mentioned how a certain financial institution in Chicago would become the subject of a federal probe to be conducted by Fitzgerald’s prosecutors in relation to the conviction of Antoin “Tony” Rezko. Although I cautioned I did not have conclusive evidence [...]

**********Truthteller asks bloggers and reporters to direct their attention to Amrish Mahajan and the Mutual Bank of Harvey.********** Mike Robinson’s AP article entitled “Obama Fundraiser, Convicted of Fraud, Spills Beans,” corroborates what we at No Quarter have been writing for weeks: Antoin “Tony” Rezko is cooperating with federal prosecutors interested in Barack Obama. While the [...]

But sadly, too many people choose to ignore it, or accept it, or just call you a racist for noticing it. But the pattern is there. It begins like this: Obama has a friend or associate that is questionable. Video or articles surface of Obama thanking them, supporting them, writing a blurb for their book, [...]

No Quarter reproduced Rezko’s letter to Judge Amy St. Eve dated 9 JUN 2008 in an essay I published on 12 JUN 2008. I quote Antoin “Tony” Rezko: Your Honor, the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never happened. They are pressuring me to tell them the “wrong” things that I supposedly [...]

His blog is Global Labor and Politics. ………………………………………………………………….. The Paulson Plan is not well understood. It is not a bail-out of failing Wall Street companies. Those companies are being [...]

Amid the chorus of “nothing to see here, move along” flock of bloggers writing ho-hum responses to today’s Washington Post story, there are a few who are thinking deeper: Our TexasDarlin pointed out the favorable treatment the Obamas received compared to the “neglected slums” of their impoverished neighbors in unimaginably horrific “public” housing that Obama [...]

Larry Johnson writes the following on 28 JAN 2008: We may not find out until Rezko’s trial starts on 25 February. Imagine this nightmare scenario. Obama nails down the Democratic nomination for President on Super Tuesday. But then comes the Rezko trial and we learn Obama was doing favors to get an Iraqi felon a [...]

The content of Antoin “Tony” Rezko’s letter to Judge St. Eve dated 9 JUN 2008 is so trite it is almost entertaining. The trope of the upwardly mobile immigrant is invoked in order to justify all the fraud and corruption in which he and other Chicago politicians and operatives were engaged. “I am simply an [...]

I think my favorite part of this video of ABC’s This Week, aired Sunday, is when Paul Krugman throws his face in his hands as George Will is delivering one of his stern school-of-hard-knocks lessons. Barack! You’ve gotta stop copying Hillary’s homework: Last Thursday, Senator Clinton called for a “second stimulus package” with $30 billion [...]

The Obamas’ new home has received a lot of attention in the corporate media and on the blogs. This post will discuss other perspectives. Hyde Park, where the Obamas have lived since 1994, is home to the University of Chicago (UC) Law School and at least one of UC’s hospitals. Leo Struass taught in the [...]
