Will we learn in 2012 if Mary Schapiro, current chair of the SEC, and other then senior executives at the Wall Street self-regulatory organization, FINRA, engaged in a fraud? The case addressing this question, Standard Chartered v FINRA, has been appealed to the highest court in our land. As such, one might think that most [...]

Or at least that was the impression this headline from The Hill wanted us to believe, “Signs Of Turning Tide On Economy Lift Democrats, Obama’s Hopes.” Oh, Happy Day! Woohoo! The tide has turned, the economy is recovering, people are going back to work, Obama has parted the waters and slowed their rising, oh Hallelujah… [...]

President Barack “I’m a warrior for the middle class” Obama may talk the talk, but his lifestyle is rather atypical of how 99.9% of the middle class lives. There are the swelling numbers of unemployed now homeless, including military veterans. Now students are joining the ranks of the homeless. There is no government funding for [...]

I want to thank a regular reader for prompting me to tune into 60 Minutes this past Sunday evening. Watching CBS’s Scott Pelley evidence how Wall Street banks knowingly and fraudulently engaged in forging mortgage documents made me cringe and vomit as I thought of just how low these financial institutions have sunk in terms [...]

I freely admit, I did not see this one coming. My friend and fellow NQ writer, Linda Anselmi, shared the following article with me, most appropos for bringing to an end Women’s History Month. And that would be this Bloomberg article, Saudi Women Inspired by Fall of Mubarak Step Up Equality Demand. Wow, right? Honestly, [...]

Update below the fold. At the age of 75, Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to run as a Vice Presidential candidate in 1984, died today (h/t Sara in Italy): [snip] Ferraro died at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she was being treated for blood cancer. She died just before 10 a.m., said Amanda Fuchs Miller, a [...]

As you may have heard by now, the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, announced at a House Intelligence Committee hearing Thursday that the Muslim Brotherhood wasn’t all that, they were basically a secular group who hadn’t a violent bone in their body. Okay, maybe not THAT bad, but close enough. See for yourself:

As you may know, Obama is on his 10-day jaunt to Asia, culminating in the G20 Summit in South Korea. His trip included a stop in Indonesia, the country in which he spent some of his childhood. There is much I could write about this trip, though I will leave that to others. But one [...]

The Wall Street-Washington incest MUST end. This coming Tuesday, America has a chance to ring that bell, expose that incest, cleanse the system, and deliver the message loud and clear. The peal of that bell must emanate from the 4th District in the state of Massachusetts. You do not need to read Sense on Cents [...]

Readers of NQ might recall a previous Youtube video of mine called “The Cultural Revolution Starts Here”. I have used some of the themes I mentioned in that video in a play I have just completed.

What is really going on in regard to the moratorium on mortgage foreclosures? A lot. Not all of it would qualify as the best of “sense on cents.” My thoughts include the following: 1. Can we now declare the HAMP (Making Home Affordable) program to be totally futile? How is it that everybody on Wall Street and in Washington [...]

This story is a tad long, but it is chock-filled with a wealth of twists, turns, personalities, politicians, and much more. I strongly recommend. Politics is clearly a contact sport. No doubt not all of the punches are above the belt. I first referenced the Obama White House use of intimidation in the case of [...]

I believe that a society’s musical soundtrack is a good indicator of its cultural health. While a lot of good and exciting music can still be heard in some of the better movies, I am depressed by the banality of most of the music being pumped out by radio stations and also on Broadway. Its [...]
