Print the Money’

Liberal economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman said Wednesday that the U.S. is not in danger of a collapse, and the U.S. won’t run out of cash because “we can print the money.” “The United States is a country that has its own currency – can’t run out of cash, cause we print the money. If you even try to think what would happen – suppose that investors get down on the United States. Even so, that would weaken the dollar, not send interest rates soaring, and that would be good. That would

Iran has informed the United Nations nuclear watchdog that it plans to expand its nuclear refinement capability despite international opposition. In a defiant move that may further complicate diplomatic efforts to resolve the dispute over the country´s atomic activities, Tehran says it plans to deploy more modern machines to refine uranium. Enriched uranium can fuel nuclear power plants - Iran´s stated aim - or provide material for bombs if processed much further, which the West suspects is Tehran´s ultimate goal. (Snip) This is increasingly hurting Iran´s economy, but the clerical

Rep. Bob Menendez once gave an impassioned speech on the house floor condemning human trafficking and forced prostitution in arguing for the “Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005,” an anti-sex slave law he co-sponsored. “All of us know the shocking statistics: somewhere between 600 and 800 people per year are forced across borders to become slaves and prostitutes,” Menendez said on December 14, 2005. “If we include those who are trafficked within their own countries, the numbers are even worse, somewhere between 2 and 4 million people. The vast majority of these are women and girls.

Obama´s jobs council
shutting down Thursday

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will let his jobs council expire this week without renewing its charter, winding down one source of input from the business community even as unemployment remains stubbornly high. When Obama in January 2011 formed his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, unemployment was hovering above 9 percent. Two years later, more than 12 million people in the U.S. are out of work. The unemployment rate has fallen to 7.8 percent, but both parties agree that´s still too high. A provision in Obama´s executive order establishing the council says it sunsets on Thursday.

67 Percent of Texas Republicans
Want Obama Impeached

If Democrats are serious about trying to turn Texas blue, they should get a gander at a just-released poll of Lone Star State voters that found 67 percent of Republican respondents support the impeachment of President Obama. Of greater concern for liberals: the poll was conducted by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling. As a whole, Texans opposed impeachment 50 percent to 39 percent. But in the crosstabs, PPP broke this down by party affiliation with Democrats opposed 83 percent to 12 percent, Republicans in favor 67 percent to 18 percent, and Independents opposed 54 percent to 32 percent.

On Wednesday, MSNBC’s midday panel program invited influential liberals and progressive policy makers on to debate the merits of regulating the game of football at all levels – from the NFL to secondary school. The object is to prevent violent injury and protect those too foolish to make what the MSNBC panel felt was

On nuclear weapons, Hagel

Chuck Hagel, President Obama’s pick for the next secretary of defense, has begun his Senate confirmation hearings. Reports indicate the nominee believes he has some explaining to do regarding his position on the U.S. nuclear force. Small wonder: Mr. Hagel is one of six co-authors of the radical Global Zero Commission Report, which advocates for cuts so deep to the force it would bring the U.S. far below Russian levels and could tempt China to sprint to parity or superiority.

A suburban New York City newspaper known for its support of the Second Amendment, has been banned from purchasing Facebook ads, the paper’s editor charged. (Snip) Dylan Skriloff, the editor of the Rockland County Times, told Fox News that Facebook will no longer allow them to purchase advertisements to promote their stories. “We’ve been giving them a good amount of business,” Skriloff said. “I don’t really appreciate getting cut off by someone I’m doing business with without an explanation.” The weekly newspaper, published since 1888, makes no bones about being a conservative voice in the northern New York City suburbs.

In the near future, Levin explained, he will begin appearing on Hannity “once or twice a month” — a move he considers “surprising” given the rarity of his national television appearances. “I’m not into TV that much,” he explained. “No, I’m not on the Fox staff, paid guest, any of that stuff” he added. “Just to spread the word. Plus Hannity finally has beaten me down and I’ve agreed.”

A Tennessee state senator has introduced a bill that would abolish diversity programs, ban diversity officers and end preference based on race, ethnicity and gender on college campuses in the Volunteer State. Republican Jim Summerville calls his slate of legislation the “Civil Rights Initiative of 2013,” reports Knoxville NBC affiliate WBIR-TV. In addition to forbidding diversity preference programs, the proposal would prohibit the state from keeping any statistics based on race, gender or ethnicity, or using those criteria for hiring, except as mandated by federal law. “It’s a little demeaning, I think, to classify people

"I love Michelle Obama and I love her bangs!" declared Barack Obama last week. The US President was speaking ahead of a rather more pressing event - his second inauguration ceremony - but the First Lady´s new fringe (referred to as ´bangs´ across the pond) had grabbed so many headlines that he felt he just had to weigh in. However another vocal leader - this time in the fashion world - doesn´t think so much of FLOTUS´s new hair.

If only it had a storybook ending! There was ample reason for joy, knowing that this city, a metaphor in the Western imagination for places exotic and far away, had been rescued from the al-Qaida-affiliated terrorists who had laid waste to it in the past 10 months. They desecrated Timbuktu´s ancient tombs, burned ancient library texts, banned its famed music, exiled its musicians and unleashed

Considered a cancer-surviving “badass on a bike,” it turns out Lance Armstrong is just a badass — and a fraud. Armstrong´s admission that he doped his way to seven Tour de France titles even prompted CBS News CEO Jeffrey Fager to Think Again about his network´s role in the “Miracle Man´s” narrative. “We helped create the myth,” he acknowledged, because “we wanted to believe this absolutely inspirational story. But we were duped.” Unearned moral superiority and blazing self-righteousness hastened Armstrong´s rise as he slandered and sued whistle-blowers into submission. “I was a bully in the sense that I tried to control
