| As some of you may have already heard, the state of North Dakota is currently experiencing a politically incorrect and politically inconvenient economic boom in the midst of Obama´s national economic program of stagnation. Thanks to the discovery of oil and a government´s willingness to get out of the way so industrious, risk-taking individuals can go after it, North Dakota is now a working, breathing, real-life repudiation of everything Obama and his media worshipers stand for. This of course makes news outlets like the New York Times uncomfortable.

Comments: Oil. The one basic that literally fueled our economic growth and power and the shills at the dying NY Times wants to stop it. Well, you need oil to make make the pen and the ink that it uses to write. And, oil for the composites for the computers to digitally write their screed. What idiots.

My next-door neighbor told me about the oil fields in N. Dakota. He pulled up stakes to go and hasn´t been back. I guess he´s doing just fine. He couldn´t make any money here in job-poor California.

Yes, and how many crimes against women occur in NYC? If it is news, so be it. Maybe it is Breitbart spinning the article.

Yep, this is their new angle in the war on fracking. Since SCIENCE! has shown that fracking actually reduces our "carbon footprint", they have to take another tack. Apparently, fracking not only brings jobs, it brings ... *gasp* ... men.
Some commenters I´ve seen have pointed out that there´s a deep bench for employees in these jobs and the companies have the ability to be intolerant of truly damaging shenanigans outside of work. So if the NYT is talking about anything more aggressive than men showing interest in women (I know, shocking!), then the company can easily remove said perpetrators.

Why doesn´t the NYT send its girly-men and manly-women to Saudi Arabia and vicinity to report on how women are treated in this oil producing region? Surely there must be some enlightened islamist practices we yokels need to be educated about by the superior intellectual wussies of the NYT?

I work up there and can say that the NYT article is pure BS. While it´s true that there are not many women, I have never witnesses any sort of harassment.

Corb Lund has a good video on YouTube called, ´´The Toughest Neck Around,´´ which seems appropriate to recommend here.Lund is a new favorite Canadian musician of ours, along with Ian Tyson´s western music. Both are from Alberta.

This is like the screaming about murder rate in the United States with all the guns. Yet, if you compare the murder rate with guns to the Caucasian race only. It is the same as Belgium.
It is the same as food stamp and welfare statements, "more white people on food stamps and welfare than African American or Latinos.”
Yes, but not mentioned in this little saying it Blacks make up only about 13% and Latinos only 15%.

Why is this woman in Williston if it is such a terrible place? Because, that´s where the money is and she, like the men who go there to work, wants a chance to make some money.
And she is in the bar because she, like them, wants a little action.

Some tattooed chick drinking shots at a bar... Who woule EVER think she´d take them up on their offer. Self-mutilating yourself with tattoos and being offended by a $7000 offer somehow doesn´t seem to fit.

The real "sexist nightmare" is in the fact that these are tough jobs in harsh conditions unsuited for most women. Hard physical work, cold climate, difficult living conditions, etc. Perhaps these "advances" were made by visiting NYT´s ´reporters´ and they were upset at getting rebuffed.

North Dakota is normally, or formerly, fly-over country.
But some lady feminist had to hop off her broom there... park it... and then manage to get her failure to wear a bra caught in a wringer. Bet that made a fwapping sound!
Now the rest of us have to pay for it... by being subjected to the NYT´s diatribe.
Just pink lace panties in a wad. To be ignored.

Washington - A key committee in the Republican-led House has taken up a tough enforcement-focused immigration bill, but the proceedings were immediately interrupted by protesters shouting "Shame, shame!" More than a dozen protesters began chanting as soon as Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia gaveled the committee hearing open Tuesday. Goodlatte stopped the proceedings until the protesters were ushered into the hall, where their shouts could still be heard. Goodlatte said the bill under consideration, which empowers local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration

It’s been two years since NASA’s space shuttle program came to an end, but thousands of Americans still dream of becoming astronauts. Eight of them – four men and four women – were introduced Monday as NASA’s astronaut candidate class for 2013. (Snip) The bios of the eight people selected will probably make you feel like a bit of a slacker. Two of them have PhDs and one is a physician training in sports medicine. Four have experience as test pilots for the Navy or Air Force. One person is working at the Pentagon on ways to defeat the homemade bombs that have plagued troops in Iraq and

Washington - After Republicans lost the presidential election and seats in both the House and the Senate last year, many in the party offered a stern admonishment: If we want to broaden our appeal, steer clear of divisive social and cultural issues. Yet after the high-profile murder trial of an abortion doctor in Philadelphia this spring, many Republicans in Washington and in state capitals across the country seem eager to reopen the emotional fight over a woman’s right to end a pregnancy. (Snip) The bill stands no chance of becoming law, with Democrats in control of the Senate and the White House.

Tehran - President-elect Hassan Rowhani of Iran, speaking Monday for the first time since his election victory, said he wanted to reduce tensions with the United States but ruled out direct talks between the two estranged nations. In his first news conference after winning Friday’s presidential election promising more freedoms and better relations with the outside world, Mr. Rowhani called the issue of nonexistent relations between Iran and the United States “an old wound, which must be healed.” Iran, he said, wants to reduce tensions between the two countries, which have no diplomatic relations and are

Washington - Pharmaceutical companies that pay rivals to keep less-expensive generic versions of best-selling drugs off the market can expect greater federal scrutiny after a Supreme Court ruling on Monday. In a 5-to-3 vote, the justices effectively said that the Federal Trade Commission can sue pharmaceutical companies for potential antitrust violations, a decision that is likely to increase the number of generic drugs in the marketplace and benefit consumers. Specifically, the justices threw out lower-court rulings that said the agreements were legal, provided that a deal did not keep a generic

President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, put their escalating differences over Syria on display even as they agreed to urge both sides in the civil war there to the negotiating table. (Snip) “We do have differing perspectives,” Obama said, while adding that “we share an interest in reducing the violence.” Some Western leaders publicly rebuked Putin for his support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as the Group of Eight summit of industrial nations began. Obama and Putin focused on areas of agreement in remarks after the talks, their first one-on-one meeting

Washington - Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who exposed the U.S. government´s top-secret surveillance programs, fought back against his critics on Monday and denied allegations that he was a spy for China. Snowden told an online forum run by Britain´s Guardian newspaper that he revealed the programs in part out of disappointment with President Barack Obama, who he said had expanded "abusive" government programs while in office. (Snip) "I have had no contact with the Chinese government," said Snowden, who has vowed to stay in the Chinese-run former

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
