The employment situation in the US has been outright rosy. Initial unemployment claims have been bumping along near record lows. Whether or not companies are hiring, at least they’re not axing people in massive numbers. The unemployment rate of 5.8% is practically comfort inducing. OK, we can smell the odor of the details underneath, but hey. And for September, the Challenger Job Cut Report raved about 2014 being “on pace to be the lowest job-cut year since 1997.”

Got it. Things are good.   Continue reading “Layoffs Explode In America’s Big Old Tech Companies”

Law enforcement officials nationwide now have the ability to search multiple sensitive databases, including spy agency intranets and homeland security suspicious activity reporting – with a single login.

The breakthrough in interconnectivity is expected to close information gaps that, among other things, have contributed to the rise in homegrown terrorism and school shootings.    Continue reading “Rap Sheets, Watchlists and Spy Networks Now Available With Single Click”

The first battle over the direction of the GOP since Tuesday’s tidal wave election is quietly building as conservatives race to construct a plan to stop President Obama’s executive amnesty.

Huddling in Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) office Wednesday, top conservative aides sketched out a plan to include language prohibiting Obama from issuing employment permits to illegal aliens in an upcoming “omnibus” spending bill – and settling for a four-week stopgap bill if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid balks in the last days of his rule.   Continue reading “The Conservative Plan To Stop Obama’s Executive Amnesty”

Unemployment rate drops to lowest level since July 2008

The Labor Department released last month’s employment figures Friday morning, and the report shows that the U.S. labor market has continued to post steady gains while some stubborn weak points still exist. Here are some key points from the October jobs report.

What you need to know: October was the 56th straight month of private-sector job gains in the U.S., and monthly gains have averaged about 227,000 so far this year. The job market has been steadily improving, which is good news. However, on the downside, hourly wages have struggled to make gains and the number of long-term unemployed is still almost 50% higher than it was before the recession hit.   Continue reading “Economy Adds 214,000 Jobs in October, Unemployment Rate Drops to 5.8%”

A leaked ASEAN document, a draft of the chairman’s statement for next week’s summit, notes progress on a Code of Conduct for the South China Sea and urges the group’s members to peacefully resolve their maritime disputes with China.

A senior government source from an Association of Southeast Asian Nations member, who did not want to be named, gave the document to VOA this week.  The statement is a draft of the communique that would typically be released at the end of an ASEAN summit, such as the one being held in next week in Myanmar, also known as Burma.   Continue reading “ASEAN Document Pushes Talks on South China Sea”

So the Republicans have seized the Senate, giving them control of Congress. What do these election results mean for you?

Not much.

Øbamacare won’t be repealed. Your taxes won’t be cut. Alphabet Agencies won’t shrink. The debt won’t get fixed. The wars won’t end. LEO’s won’t stop conducting No-Knock warrant raids on the wrong homes. You’ll still go to jail for selling raw milk. You still don’t ‘own’ your home. You’ll still have to pay for welfare. TSA will still violate you when you fly. The border is still wide open. Your assets can still be confiscated. Etc….    Continue reading “Mid-Term Elections – What To Expect Now”

The Smoking Gun

NOVEMBER 6–A police report detailing a fight last month between members of Michael Brown’s family over the sale of commemorative t-shirts identifies the late teenager’s mother as one of the “attackers” who beat and robbed vendors selling the merchandise from a tent in a Ferguson, Missouri parking lot.

A copy of the Ferguson Police Department report was provided yesterday by city attorney Stephanie Karr. When TSG requested the document two weeks ago, Karr noted that Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, was “described in the report” and had “specifically requested that the report be withheld from the media.”   Continue reading “Michael Brown’s Mother Named As Robbery Attacker”

Be Your Own Leader – by Dana Gabriel

The globalist controlled Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) have called on the U.S. to work more closely with Canada and Mexico to build a new North American partnership for the future. The pivot to North America would focus on greater trilateral cooperation in areas such as energy, economic competitiveness, border management, law enforcement and continental perimeter security. Throughout the years, the incremental steps towards a North American Union have been used to further chip away at the sovereignty of all three NAFTA countries.   Continue reading “Building a New North American Partnership for the Future”

Judicial Watch, November 5, 2014

“…it has become apparent that the IRS did not undertake any significant efforts to obtain the emails from alternative sources following the discovery that the emails were missing”

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admitted to the court that it failed to search any of the IRS standard computer systems for the “missing” emails of Lois Lerner and other IRS officials. The admission appears in an IRS legal brief opposing the Judicial Watch request that a federal court judge allow discovery into how “lost and/or destroyed” IRS records relating to the targeting of conservative groups may be retrieved. The IRS is fighting Judicial Watch’s efforts to force testimony and document production about the IRS’ loss of records in Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation about the IRS targeting of Tea Party and other opponents of President Obama(Judicial Watch v. IRS (No. 1:13-cv-1559)).  The lawsuit is before U.S. District Court Judge Emmett G. Sullivan.   Continue reading “IRS Admits to Court it Hasn’t Searched for Missing Lerner Emails”

October 27, 2014 was one of the worst days I had ever personally experienced, both as a teacher, a father, and a family friend.

My lady friend had heard terrible news regarding a tragedy to three of her family members in Seattle, Washington.  Not only had I known all three victims, but one victim, a small girl, aged eleven, had been a former student at the school I had taught at from 2007 to 2009.

Her name was Anahlia Cowherd.  I was her recess supervisor, and was often invited to play guitar for her first-grade class at St. Paul’s Catholic School in Upper Rainier Beach.   Continue reading “The Anahlia Experience”
