Private pay shrinks to historic lows By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year, a USA TODAY analysis of government data finds. At the same time, government-provided benefits — from Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps and other programs — rose to a record high during the first three months of 2010. Those records reflect a long-term trend accelerated by the recession and the federal stimulus program to counteract the downturn. The result is a major shift in the source of personal income from private wages to government programs. The trend ...

UPDATE: MSNBC defends fraudulent Rand Paul transcript as "technically correct", makes no apologies Submitted by ron_paul_is_awesome on Thu, 05/20/2010 - 22:05 in Daily Paul Liberty Forum I've noticed a few recent news articles are reporting Rand had the following exchange with Rachel Maddow. Maddow: Do you think that a private business has the right to say, "We don't serve black people"? Paul: Yes. I'm not in favor of any discrimination of any form... If you go to the video however, Rand obviously never said the word "yes". Here it is, cued up to the exact moment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VGdP2mNPeo#t=8m1s It was merely some sort of ...

Crony Capitalism, Carnahan Style Submitted by Peter Flaherty on Mon, 05/24/2010 - 15:28 Email to friendPrinter-friendlyWind power is not economically feasible. It is only a reality because of tax breaks and government subsidies, which are often the seed corn for political favoritism and cozy dealings. In Missouri, a company called Wind Capital Group (WCG) is more than well connected. In the photo to the right is the firm’s CEO is Tom Carnahan.

The Press Can No Longer Afford to Keep Up With the President Email Print More...By Zeke Turner May 24, 2010 | 2:02 p.m Mr. Obama. +Enlarge Getty Images At the end of April members of the White House press corps began to speak out against a perceived lack of access to the president. Now White House correspondents are facing a whole new type of access issue: Their travel budgets have fallen off, making it harder for them to keep up with the president. The number of charter flights for reporters to follow the president on trips has sharply declined in recent months, according to The New York Times. Last year the press spent a total of $18 million on such travel arrangements. Only a dozen ...

The gathering revolt against government spending By: Michael Barone Senior Political Analyst May 23, 2010 This month three members of Congress have been beaten in their bids for re-election -- a Republican senator from Utah, a Democratic congressman from West Virginia and a Republican-turned-Democrat senator from Pennsylvania. Their records and their curricula vitae are different. But they all have one thing in common: They are members of an Appropriations Committee. Like most appropriators, they have based much of their careers on bringing money to their states and districts. There is an old saying on Capitol Hill that there are three parties -- Democrats, Republicans and ...

James Carville, a stalwart Obama defender — and Louisiana native — and MSNBC's Chris Mathews both voiced concerns about the president's handling of the spill, and Obama's decision to allow BP to take the lead on ...

A war-weary nation breathes a sign of relief today as the last of America’s troops finally return home from Iraq, fulfilling President Obama’s campaign pledge to have them out within 16 months of taking office. April Fools. In all seriousness, everyone who has been following the story even a little knows that just two days after his inauguration, President Obama was already talking about the promise as “aspirational” [1] and a month later the “16 month plan” was formally replaced with the so-called 19 month plan, which would involve having some American troops leave Iraq by August 2010, declaring combat over, and keeping 50,000 troops “indefinitely. ...

He’s not going to what…? He’s… doesn’t think…not…a solution…? I had to read this a couple of times to make sure I had it right. Let’s understand this folks.

A Mosque at Ground Zero Equals Victory

A new mosque is now being planned in New York near "Ground Zero," two blocks from where the World Trade Center used to be. This mosque is headed by an Imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, founder of the Cordoba Initiative, who proposes to convert the now-shuttered Burlington Coat Factory on Park Place into an Islamic Cultural Center which would contain a mosque. It is crucial to study the supremacist ideology of Islam and to recognize, for example, that the building of a mosque especially at Ground Zero is viewed by Muslims as a decisive victory over the infidels in Islam's march to establish its ultimate goal: the submission of all others to Islam and to Sharia Law. On a daily bases, ...

Deputies called to remove campaign workers The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- State and local officials say backers of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul have been removed by sheriff's deputies from an eastern Kentucky polling place after complaints that they were harassing voters.

White House bracing for Arlen Specter loss? If this is true, it's significant: CBS chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer is now saying that he has it on good authority that the White House is privately bracing for Arlen Specter to lose tomorrow. Schieffer, to my knowledge, has not said this on national TV yet. But he made the claim in an interview with the local CBS affiliate in Philadelphia. "I have been told on background that the White House is preparing for a Specter loss here, and that the president doesn't want to be associated with that," Schieffer said. I've also learned that Veep Joe Biden will not be doing any campaign events for Specter in the final ...

Thought it might be interesting to hear everyone's predictions for the primary races taking place tomorrow. Off the top of my head: 1. Spector loses a close one to Sestak. I think the commercial Sestak is running is one of the most devastating I've ever seen, showing Snarlin Arlen getting heartily endorsed by W in 2004. Sestak then loses come November to Toomey is my early gut feeling, or Spector if the Philadelphia 'machine' pulls it out for him tomorrow. 2. Blanche Lincoln - wins a squeeker, maybe a run off is required. Then loses this November. 3. Rand Paul wins the Kentucky GOP primary by a larger margin than many suspect. Trey Grayson's Mitch McConnell ad hurts ...

Iraq violence set to delay US troop withdrawal Withdrawal of first large phase of combat troops likely to be delayed for at least a month due to Iraq's instability The United States is likely to delay the withdrawal of the first large phase of combat troops from Iraq for at least a month after escalating bloodshed and political instability in the country. The US Commanding General Ray Odierno had been due to give the order within 60 days of the general election held in Iraq on 7 March, when the cross-sectarian candidate Ayad Allawi edged out the incumbent leader, Nouri al-Maliki.

Major revelation on Times Square bomber reveals failures in Obama anti-terrorism May 7, 2:18 Anthony G. Martin The Times Square bomber has direct ties to the Fort Hood massacre--the terrorist attack on U.S. soil which killed American servicemen and women and which the Pentagon refuses to acknowledge as a terrorist attack by Muslim extremists. In a new revelation yesterday, it turns out that the perpetrator of the failed Times Square attack had the very same Muslim imam as Major Hasan, the Fort Hood jihadist. (AP Photo/Anjum Naveed).

Would the U.S. Shoot Down an Israeli Jet? Top Officer Won’t Say

MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — I’m not going to make a big deal of this, although some dug deep in the trenches of the Middle East debate might. But America’s top military officer wouldn’t rule the possibility today of U.S. forces firing on Israeli jets, if Israel launched a pre-emptive strike on Iran. In a town hall on the campus of the University of West Virginia, a young Air Force ROTC cadet asked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen to respond to a “rumor.” If Israel decided to attack Iran, the speculation went, those jet would need to fly through Iraqi airspace to reach their targets. That airspace is considered a “no-fly” zone by ...

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Map, News) - Two suicide bombers dressed in burqas blew themselves up Saturday in a camp for refugees fleeing military offensives in northwestern Pakistan, killing 41 people and wounding 62, officials said. The blasts occurred at a food distribution point, but there were conflicting reports whether the victims were lining up for food or being registered. The camp is sometimes used by foreign humanitarian groups, including the World Food Program, to deliver aid. Meanwhile, the Pakistani army admitted that civilians were killed in an airstrike last Saturday in the northwest that supposedly targeted militants. It did not say how many had died, but apologized in a rare ...
