1.  Ted Cruz Takes Center Stage, Media Increases Attacks
With news Wednesday morning that Michelle Bachmann won’t be running for re-election in 2014, the left has turned their sights quickly to another target: Ted Cruz.  Not that they weren’t already focused on him.  The left has been foaming at the mouth over Cruz since he boldly stepped on the scene and refused to play by their crooked rules.  Bachmann’s exit, however, has introduced a new fervor on the left against Cruz and they’ve taken no time to come at him from every angle. . . . please click here for the rest of the post 


2.  Trash Talk
The media, Democrats, and senile Republicans are all after Senator Ted Cruz.

This is a must watch video reminding you why and to what extend the media, Democrats, and John McCain are after the junior senator from Texas. . . . please click here for the rest of the post 

3.  McAuliffe’s stalled electric car company salary raises funding scheme questions
At this point the failures and false promises of Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s electric car company, GreenTech, have been well documented.

For those who need a refresher, Clinton fundraiser and party insider McAuliffe re-christened himself a ‘Virginia businessman’ in his second quest for the Old Dominion governorship and touted several supposed job-creating ventures on the campaign trail, one being a wood pellet firm that has yet to become operational, and another was GreenTech Automotive, which he pledged would create thousands of jobs. . . . please click here for the rest of the post 

4.  The penumbra of power
A few weeks ago, Apple executives were called on the Congressional carpet for… well, it’s not really clear, actually.  Congress was very angry at them for failing to haul international profits back to the United States so they could be taxed at confiscatory anti-growth American rates. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) countered by pointing out that everyone tries to legally minimize their tax liability.  Accountants who failed to take such opportunities would be failing in their duty to shareholders. . . . please click here for the rest of the post 

5.  Working Hard Or Hardly Working? A union boss lives down to the union fat cat stereotype
Whether it’s justified or not, there is a well-established “fat cat” stereotype of union bosses that has existed for many, many years that goes something like this:

Union bosses are fat, lazy, corrupt, drive big cars and don’t do much for the exorbitant salaries their union members pay them.

Again, whether one agrees with that stereotype of not, is irrelevant because, as matter of fact, there is ample evidence to support it.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post
