US Communists embrace Hillary

25 Aug

How’s that for bedfellows?

“WASHINGTON – The Communist Party USA may not control many actual votes, but what they lack in support is made up for in enthusiasm.

Thumbs down for both Donald and Hillary

18 Jul

“In both their policies and personalities, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the natural offspring of the upside-down incentives of the political plunderland that the American system has degenerated into: where governance is perverted into a regime of kleptocratic power-grabbing and the paternalistic social engineering of human relationships.”

“Some people were freaked out,” says one senator who attended the meeting.

14 Jul

Public authorities have become too powerful, having control over the private sector. Another dagger in New Jersey’s reputation.  No wonder businesses are hesitant to relocate here.
