Morning Briefing
For January 14, 2014
1. Us vs. Them
The
United States Chamber of Commerce, already in the tank for amnesty, is
now in the tank for Common Core. The Chamber of Commerce will be funding
Republican candidates to beat conservatives.
The New York Times recently ran an article on
the corrupt and entangling alliances within the Mainstreet Partnership.
This group of liberal Republicans, funded by an alliance of Wall Street
and Labor Unions intends to defeat both conservative incumbents and
challengers to Republicans.
Both
of these groups are working with the Republican Establishment,
including the National Republican Senatorial Committee, whose staff,
when not hanging out with questionable souls, is attacking conservative
talk radio hosts.
Friends,
the battle lines are stark and clear. Conservatives will beat the GOP
or the GOP will go left. It will go left toward amnesty, left toward
common core, left toward Obamacare, left toward abortion rights, left
toward gun control, and left toward tax increases and even bigger
spending.
You
may think you can sit it out. You may not want to get dirty. But you do
not have a choice. You will either stand with the labor unions and
crony capitalists funding the establishment, or with the conservative
fighters funding freedom loving candidates. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2. The UAW At VW: A Desperate Old Dog Tries A Very Old (And Illegal) Trick
As
outgoing United Auto Workers’ President Bob King tries to do everything
within his power to unionize the American workers of German-based
Volkswagen, the tactics used on VW employees have already been the
subject of unfair labor practice charges filed with the National Labor
Relations Board.
In
addition, as the UAW states its goal to be more cooperative and to
“partner” with VW and its German union, it appears that the UAW wants to
defer its independence to the German automaker’s Works Council which
may violate the eight-decade old National Labor Relations Act as well. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. Wanted: manly virtue
Rich
Cromwell writes a lively discussion of our culture’s attempts to deal
with manly virtue at The Federalist, inspired by a hilariously funny
advertisement that shows a guy desperately trying to recapture his
masculinity after using a feminine product in the shower . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
4. Washington at its Best
Washington
is a place filled to the brim with irony and hypocrisy. This week
Congress will consider a $1.1 trillion omnibus bill and an extension of
dependency-inducing long-term unemployment benefits for the seventh year
in a row. Watch how the irony unfolds.
After
agreeing to undo part of the sequester for the first two years of the
budget frame, as part of the Ryan-Murray agreement, the House plans to
pass a full omnibus bill this week to reflect the topline budget numbers
of that deal. Pursuant
to the December agreement, one of the only real spending cuts used to
offset the sequester cancellation was a cut in military pensions to
those currently serving in the Armed Forces. Even though we all warned
about the dyslexic priorities of that agreement, both parties proceeded
to vote for the bill, opting to complain about those cuts the minute the
bill was signed into law. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
5. Dr. Chad Mathis for Congress
Dr.
Chad Mathis had a good haul in campaign cash last quarter. For those of
you who have not heard of him, Dr. Mathis is running in Alabama’s 6th
Congressional District.
He’s a solid conservative, a doctor, and would be a terrific addition to the United States House of Representatives. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
