Is Bloomberg using his charities illegally for his campaign?
The GAO, a non partisan accountability watchdog, has referred the Bloomberg campaign to the IRS for possible campaign violations, as reported by NOQReport. This is just another example of the democrats saying to the rest of us, “Do as I say, not as I do.” They think they are above the law. No one can touch them. I hesitate to say, it seems to be that no one will pay for this violation, if true. I personally, am becoming very upset that OUR government refuses to hold these people accountable. The day is fast approaching when We the People are … Continue reading →

E-Verify: Will It Stop Illegal Immigration or Just Waste Everyone's Time?

Could Nazi Germany Have Won World War II If Hitler Didn't Invade Russia?
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* With most of Western Europe under his control after the summer of 1940, and Eastern Europe either subdued or allied with Germany, Hitler had a choice by mid-1941. *Key point:* The Red Army in June of 1941 was caught terribly off-balance, still reeling and reorganizing from Stalin's purges. One of the most momentous decisions in history was Adolf Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. Operation Barbarossa transformed Nazi Germany's war from a one-front struggle, against a weakened Britain and a still-neutral United States, into ... more »

Why Should You Care About The UCSC Strike?
Last December, hundreds of graduate students at the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) voted to go on strike. Their sole demand was a cost of living adjustment (COLA) to their monthly stipend. Santa Cruz, a tech hub near Silicon Valley and San Jose, gets more expensive every year. The current base stipend—which comes out to roughly $21,906 per year—is not nearly enough to live on. A 2017 survey found that a grad student in the Santa Cruz area would need at least $32,000 to make it through the year on a barebones budget.

Endless Wars Persist Because They Don’t Exist (For Americans)
There is no significant anti-war movement in America because there’s no war to protest. Let me explain. In February 2003, millions of people took to the streets around the world to protest America’s march to war against Iraq. That mass movement failed. The administration of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney had a radical plan for reshaping the Middle East and no protesters, no matter how principled or sensible or determined, were going to stop them in their march of folly. The Iraq War soon joined the Afghan invasion of 2001 as a quagmire and disaster, yet the antiwar movement died dow... more »
