Former Republican Presidential Candidate Cannot Spell “United States” – PIC

Ezra Grant — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 18:04:07 +0000

Marco Rubio, the defacto brains of the Republican party and favorite son of the Republican establishment, dropped out of his bid to become president a few weeks ago. But now the real reason for him suspending his campaign becomes evident – Rubio cannot spell “United States” and his spell check is apparently not working either. […]

The World Gets Dangerous

Robert I. Grundfest — Sun, 02 Mar 2014 21:40:51 +0000

You can’t say we weren’t warned that Vladimir Putin might try to flex some muscles in Ukraine. After all, the Olympics are over, there were no terrorist attacks, Russia won the most medals, and Viktor Yanukovych turned out to be better suited for the summer games, beating a hasty vamoose from Kiev all the way […]

Mitt Romney Admits His Tax Rate Is Probably 15 Percent

Ezra Grant — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:55:21 +0000

Ever wonder why Mitt Romney is so hesitant to do the right thing and release his tax returns? Well maybe the reason has something to do with his tax rate – a rate the Republican frontrunner admits is “probably” less than 15%. Meanwhile, middle class America pays a rate of 38%. GOP presidential front-runner Mitt […]

For Congressional Approval, It’s How Low Can You Go

Ezra Grant — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:07:11 +0000

You couldn’t get this low of an approval even if you tried. Hammered by bipartisan discontent with its partisan rancor, the U.S. Congress reconvenes Tuesday with its lowest approval rating on record in polls dating back nearly 40 years –ideal fodder not just for late-night comedians, but also for President Obama in the election year […]

Jon Huntsman Ends Campaign Calling For Unity, While Engaging In Divisive Lies

Ezra Grant — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:57:01 +0000

Today, Jon Huntsman – the man most people believed was the sanest, most sensible candidate in the Republican party running for his party’s nomination for president – officially quit the race. Huntsman ended his campaign asking for “unity and trust.” In his speech, he mentioned the divisive politics that has separated and divided this country, then engaged […]

It’s Capital, Not Capitalism

Robert I. Grundfest — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 16:39:49 +0000

Mitt Romney has said on the campaign trail that an attack on him is an attack on capitalism. Aside from being a self-serving, disingenuous, mendacious statement (which is enough, don’t you think?), it also shows how shallow and dangerous the Republican party has become. Romney’s career at Bain Capital is a touchstone for his presidential […]

In his weekly address, President Obama highlighted companies and businesses that are bringing the jobs back home. This week, I invited executives from businesses that are insourcing jobs to a forum at the White House.

Poverty In America – More Whites In Poverty Than Blacks

Ezra Grant — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 02:00:42 +0000

Edward Wyckoff Williams writes: The leaders of today’s Republican Party are expert storytellers. When it comes to manipulating racial stereotypes for political gain, they are akin to animation artists of the 1920s: coloring the lines in black and white. Last Thursday Newt Gingrich told a crowd of senior citizens in New Hampshire, “The African-American community should […]

President Overrides Republican Obstructionism – The Richard Cordray Appointment

Ezra Grant — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:33:36 +0000

President Obama today did what Republicans in Congress refused to do simply because of their political ideology. He bypassed the broken system in Washington and installed Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Protection Agency. “When Congress refuses to act, and as a result, hurts our economy and puts our people at risk, then I have […]

Where Democracy Lives

Robert I. Grundfest — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:24:47 +0000

If 2011 will go down in history as a terrible year economically, it will also be known as a turning point year for participatory and representative democracy in many countries throughout the world. True people power, spurred on by technology, second-to-second communications, and defiance of imposing police/military power proved more resilient than even the craftiest dictators. […]

Mitt Romney Changes His Position On Whether He Changes His Position

Ezra Grant — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 16:55:50 +0000

Apparently Mitt Romney thinks the people in the Republican party are fools, or maybe he think they’re easily fooled. Why else would he make this statement? “I’m not going to change my positions by virtue of being in a presidential campaign.” That statement smacks the truth about Romney’s record dead in its face. Mitt Romney […]

While Congress Got Richer, Average Americans Got Poorer

The New York Times is once again, shedding some light on the selfish, mine mine mine mentality that is now elected Congressional members.

Since winning the House of Representatives in November 2010, Republicans have been on a rampage trying all they could to suppress the votes of minorities throughout the United States.

Ezra Grant — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 00:04:34 +0000

Chalk this one up as a win for the hard-working middle class families. Earlier today, John Boehner, under excruciating pressure from members of his own party, caved and agreed to the payroll tax cut bill the Senate passed last week – a move that would save American families $1000.00 a year. It was the kind of pressure that […]

Banking 101: Fractional Reserve Lending – Video

Blu — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 12:55:19 +0000

Your bank is required to keep only a fraction of your cash deposit in its vault. The bulk of your money gets loaned out, paid off and redeposited into the banking system. This happens an exponential amount of times, creating a “virtual” accumulation of wealth for your bank off of your one deposit. Is there the possibility […]

Stewart was talking about the Republicans reaction to the killing of Libya’s Dictator, Muammar Ghaddafi, and their absolute refusal to acknowledge the Obama Administration’s part in helping to free Libya. From senior Arizona Republican Representative John McCain thanking France and England, to amateur Florida Representative Marco Rubio, Republicans have acknowledged everyone, except the President or his administration.
