My friend in Pine Plains, New York sent this to me as a voice from the real people.

The Decline of the Greatest Republic in History
America has seen 55,000 factories close and lost 6 million manufacturing jobs. Few Americans I talk to seem to have any concept of the trouble we are in. There is a way out for America. We need to immediately move away from the big government, interventionist policies of the Democrat and Republican parties and transition […]
The Future of Big Cities
New York’s new mayor, Bill de Blasio is yet another blow to the nation’s big cities. The WSJ reports: In 2000, Republicans led five of the nation’s largest dozen cities. By the end of 2012, they no longer led any. In Tuesday’s election, the candidate favored in opinion polls to be Seattle’s new mayor, Ed […]
The New Harley Davidson
LA Times review of the new Harley Street. Harley-Davidson on Monday blew the covers off two dramatic new motorcycles for 2014: the Street 750 and Street 500. The bikes represent an aggressive attempt to expand Harley’s already massive reach to younger, newer and smaller riders by offering them a substantially lighter and more manageable […]
R.I.P World Class Restaurateur Chicago’s Charlie Trotter
World class restaurateur, Charlie Trotter has passed away. Today’s Chicago Tribune eulogized Chef Trotter, saying; Before there was “Top Chef,” “MasterChef” or “Iron Chef,” before chefs were multimedia celebrities who could monetize their volcanic personalities, before “farm-to-table” and “American cuisine” were routinely applied to high-end restaurants, there was Charlie Trotter, whose self-named Lincoln Park restaurant […]
Sikorsky Looking to Supersize its X2 Technology
Scale is everything in rotorcraft: What works at one size might not at another, because of complex interactions between aerodynamics, propulsion, structures and control. That is why the U.S. Army plans to fly competing high-speed rotorcraft demonstrators before deciding which direction to take in replacing its utility and attack helicopters beginning in the mid-2030s. There […]
Your Personal Financial Security Part I
Your personal financial security may not be as strong as it should be. You may be more vulnerable than you think. I called a client yesterday to review his portfolio and his wife quickly said he’d have to call me back because the police were at the house. He was filing a report because his […]
Obama Admin Criticizes Merkel and Germany?
Pat Buchanan wonders how the Obama administration can dare to criticize Angela Merkel’s Germany for their successful trade policies. Though Germany is smaller than Montana, with a population not a fourth that of the United States, she is the powerhouse of the European Union, makes some of the finest products on earth, and sells abroad […]
The President Misspoke, About a Hundred Times
It turns out you can’t keep your insurance even if you like it, because Obamacare makes it impractical for insurance companies to keep plans that don’t conform to the exchange guidelines. Progressives keep saying “but you’ll get a better plan on the exchange.” That assumes two things of Americans, 1) that they want to be […]
Dear President Obama
“In your entire life, from community organizer to lawyer to politician, did you ever buy an insurance policy? Were you always on your wife’s plan, or immediately put on a plush government plan? Did you ever have to do anything like what you’re telling the people of your country to do?”-Peggy Noonan
