Big victory for Dodd-Frank. GE will restructure....sm

From the House Financial Services Committee from Oct. 2012-A very interesting and LONG (9 pages) summation of the Dodd-Frank Act. I only copied the first page or so. The Dodd-Frank Act, the Persistence of “Too Big to Fail,” and the Institutionalization of Government Bailouts Of all the claims made by the proponents of the Dodd-Frank Act, the most important are these: that the Dodd-Frank Act ends “too big to fail” and that it protects the American taxpa ...

We really need a left/right alliance on the issue of transparency. After looking at some of the posts in the comments section, that may be possible. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/22/dodd-bill-would-allow-fed_n_548588.html ...

Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, is set to announce he will not seek re-election this fall, Fox News confirmed early Wednesday. The five-term Democrat's decision is the latest in a string of big-name Democratic retirements revealed on Tuesday as the party struggles to contend with a challenging political climate. Word of his retirement came hours after North Dakota Democrat Byron Dorgan announced he will not seek re-election, stunning many ...

Thank you, Mr. Trump, for listening to the generals. Mr. Trump wants to annihilate ISIS instead of tiptoeing around them like Obozo! ...

great relief to many British who now feel they are in the hands of common sense. No doubt that it will draw Britain closer to a European exit. It was a relief to see the Conservatives win. The real surprise was the anti EU party UKIP got twice as many votes as the Scottish National Party, but only got ONE member elected to parliament, due to the weird voting system.

The world should know that the ‘Cordoba Initiative,’ the New York City based organization desiring to construct a massive Islamic house of prayer at ‘Ground Zero,’ has posted on its website, a peculiar and disingenuous statement indicating the desire to bring back the atmosphere of, “interfaith tolerance and respect that we have longed for since Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together in harmony and prosperity eight hundred years ago.” I point ...

Editor's note: The following column originally appeared in The Washington Times. Hillary Clinton clinching the Democratic Party nomination isn't a victory for women, it's a betrayal. As a former leader within the American feminist establishment I cringe every time I realize that someone as corrupt and incompetent as Hillary Clinton filched this milestone from the nation. Courtesy of Mrs. Clinton, we are now saddled with something truly historic: the first time an Americ ...

Parents of terrorist are Afghan Muslims, 99% of whom support Sharia law - and libs are letting them into the country willy-nilly by the droves - 30,000 in the past 2 years. Wake up, gays. Your ONLY hope is to vote for the ONLY party that will bring this infestation of our population by these reprehensible people to a screeching halt. Liberal rhetoric to the contrary, Republicans are not, and never have been, your mortal enemy! Your true enemy is the Democrat/liberal phil ...

The Defcon Warning System, a private organisation which monitors world events and estimates the nuclear threat against America, is now at Level 5 – its lowest possible state. Just weeks ago the warning was accelerated to Level 3 following increased tensions between US and Russia, with insiders fearing the West was creeping closer to nuclear war. Level 3 means US troops could be mobilised in as little as 15 minutes. But the group, made up of experts claiming to have contacts within the ...

is ahead in the polls. That is just amazing to me. The man admitted to having paid Stephen L. Gobie, a male prostitute, for sex and subsequently hiring Gobie as his personal assistant. Gobie used the congressman's Washington apartment for prostitution. Not to mention the fact that he was in bed with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and said that they were fine right before the you-know-what hit the fan. He is also linked to the Maxine Waters scandal where she got 12 millio ...

homophobe in US history. Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) spoke at the Democratic National Convention’s LGBT Caucus meeting on Tuesday where he harshly criticized GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s promise to appoint a Supreme Court Justice like the late Antonin Scalia. “There has never been a more highly placed militant homophobe in the history of the United States,” Frank said of Scalia. “He was a bigot.” […] This is not the first time Frank has called Justice S ...
