Mental illness was blindingly clear in the mass shootings of the past few decades.

But in every instance, Democrats' response was: Let's ban high-capacity magazines! Let's limit private gun sales! Let's publish the names of everyone who owns a registered gun!

Mental illness was blindingly clear in the cases of Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech), Maj. Nidal Hasan (Fort Hood), Jared Loughner (Arizona shopping mall), James Holmes (Colorado movie theater), etc

In every one of these mass shootings, there was someone in a position to say before the attack, "Trust me, this person is a psycho." Try getting Jared Loughner or James Holmes through any mental illness hearing in which they're required to speak.

At some point in the 1980s, not being "judgmental" became the highest form of virtue -- although the left is plenty judgmental about things they don't like, such as white males, smokers, Christianity, Wal-Mart, Fox News, talk radio and NASCAR.

Liberals are so determined not to stigmatize anybody that their solution is always to make all of society suffer instead:

-- To avoid hurting Muslims' feelings, everyone has to strip to his underwear at the airport.
-- So no one feels excluded, we're not allowed to say "Merry Christmas!"
-- To avoid singling out gays, the government and media lied to Americans for a decade about the coming explosion of heterosexual AIDS. (We're still waiting.)
-- To stop people from noticing patterns, the media bend over backward to avoid telling us the race of dangerous criminals on the loose.
-- To prevent hurt feelings, everybody gets an "A."

And to avoid "stigmatizing" the mentally ill, society has to live with the occasional mass murder.

Supreme Court to hear arguments on forced unionization for home-care families

A 55-year-old woman who earns less than minimum wage caring for her disabled son could unravel decades of labor law and strike a blow against one of the most powerful political lobbies in the nation.

Pamela Harris is fighting an Illinois law crafted by imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D.) and enforced by his successor Pat Quinn (D.) that forces her and other home healthcare workers to pay union dues.
Her case, Harris v. Quinn, begins oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Tuesday morning

Illinois passed legislation that requires people who received Medicaid funding for their home care of a disabled family member to join a union and pay union dues, under the legal argument that accepting the Medicaid benefit makes them a state employee.

During his political career, Quinn has taken nearly $5 million in campaign contributions from the service employees union.

Making Millions Off the Disabled

-Illinois passed legislation that requires people who received Medicaid funding for their home care of a disabled family member to join a union and pay union dues, under the legal argument that accepting the Medicaid benefit makes them a state employee.


Josh, the youngest child in the Harris family, was born with a rare genetic disorder. He lives with severe physical, cognitive and emotional struggles. This means the day-to-day tasks most of us take for
granted — waking up, splashing water on his face, eating — require a lot of help.


His mother, Pam, has stayed home full time to take care of Josh for the past 25 years. Josh's care is expensive. The Harris family is fortunate enough to receive a modest Medicaid benefit administered
by Illinois state government. Josh is eligible to receive up to $2,130 per month, or roughly $25,000 a year.

But here is where the Harris family's story takes a disgusting turn.

Henry Bayer wants some of Josh's money. In fact, he feels entitled to it.

Who is Henry Bayer?

Bayer is the executive director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31, one of the state's largest government unions.

Bayer's salary — approximately $145,000 in 2012, according to public records — is paid for by union dues from government workers. Compulsory union dues, from government workers who must pay
money to Bayer and his union whether they want to or not.

UAW Crushed - VW workers say NO to Detroit 2.0

In a secret ballot election, the workers said NO. We learned Friday that VW’s Chattanooga employees had voted against unionizing by a margin of 712 to 626. The UAW couldn’t even win an election it had been handed on a silver platter by
management.


Wasn’t it possible that workers who turned down unions simply looked at what Wagner Act unionism had done, say, to Detroit, and decided for themselves that this wasn’t what they wanted to happen to their company?

Are public-employee unions toxic to their candidates?

The real news in the San Diego mayoral race isn't that a Republican won, but that the candidate backed by public-employee unions lost.

That is a real shift in California politics. And it's the second time it's happened in a big-city mayoral race in less than a year.

In San Diego on Tuesday, City Councilman Kevin Faulconer, a middle-of-the-road Republican, knocked the stuffing out of the union-backed Democrat, Councilman David Alvarez.

And he did it in part by hammering on the big union money behind Alvarez, much of which came from out of town.

In some ways it was a replay of the Los Angeles mayoral race last year, when labor's heavy backing of Wendy Greuel ultimately proved to be a liability for her in her race against Eric Garcetti.

Govt Housing Policy: Homeownership falls to 19-year low

The homeownership society is clearly over.

In the first quarter of this year, it fell below 65 percent for the first time since 1995. It now stands at 64.8 percent, according to the U.S. Census, down from a high of over 69 percent at the height of the last housing boom.

Realistically, the home ownership rate is far lower than the reported figure. When you consider between 15% and 20% of homeowners are underwater, and another 10% to 15% only have enough equity to pay commissions and closing costs on their way out, the actual home ownership rate is closer to 40% because “owners” with no equity are merely renting money from the bank to stay on title.

Big business is afraid of conservatives– and they should be

American business has entered a twilight where government coercion is used to put competitors out of business and to prevent new entrants to business.


WalMart’s support of Obamacare is predicated on the fact that WalMart can absorb the increased labor costs more readily than their competitors,

Costco’s enthusiasm for a higher minimum wage is inspired by the knowledge that this will hurt competitors.

The fierce resistance of taxi companies to companies like Uber have nothing to do with safety or customer service but rather a determination to maintain their comfortable monopoly.

The Chamber of Commerce is pushing “comprehensive immigration reform” in order to provide its member companies with sources of cheap labor both in the high tech industry as well as in agricultural and unskilled service jobs.

Ties up the interconnectedness of the state of collapse.

Came across this in my bork studies, the famous interview, I never watched
it in entirety before.

He died.

I will put a copy of his book in my "who could see it coming" library


The sniveling commies are getting everything they deserve here, and every one else who knows better and didnt ask for it.

It looks like as soon as the chinese got their obamacare statute so they are not liable for slaves, there is alot of

property getting sucked up by chinese here, bundy ranch for example, detroit, insustrial park in Pittsburgh, last week announced chinese

are building a big tire factory in South Carolina.

It is probably what they can buy with phony treasuries.

The key is, the chinese had to have obamacare first before they could work american slaves.

some of them, and they don't work"  M.Jordan

Making Millions Off the Disabled

-Illinois passed legislation that requires people who received Medicaid funding for their home care of a disabled family member to join a union and pay union dues, under the legal argument that accepting the Medicaid benefit makes them a state employee.




The Supreme Court ruled that personal home-care employees cannot be forced to pay dues to a union. But it refused an invitation to extend the ruling to all public employees.


The court said home healthcare assistants, some of whom care for their disabled children at home, have a constitutional right not to support a union they oppose.

The decision is a victory for the National Right to Work Foundation, which took up the cause of several mothers who objected to paying union fees. It is a defeat for the Service Employees International Union and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn.

With Tax Credits, New York and New Jersey Fight for Jobs

The tug-of-war is the latest skirmish in what is becoming a fierce competition between New York and New Jersey to heap subsidies on some of the country’s wealthiest corporations as enticements.

Late last fall, bankers from BNY Mellon went to state officials in New York and New Jersey with a proposition: The bank was planning to sell its headquarters on Wall Street and was looking for office space on either side of the Hudson River for more than 1,100 employees.

The bankers wanted to know who would cut the best deal.

In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie’s administration responded quickly with a hefty offer — nearly $100 million worth of tax credits — if the bank would move one mile west to Jersey City.

New York countered with its own incentive package that real estate executives say is worth millions of dollars if the bank remains in Lower Manhattan.
