Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis has stepped down. The first Latina to lead a federal agency, Solis joined the Obama administration back in 2009 after representing California in the House of Representatives. She said in a letter to colleagues that she was leaving her post to “begin a new future” by returning to her roots. She calls her departure “one of the most difficult decisions” she has made. “Growing up in a large Mexican-American family in La Puente, Cali ...

Hillary Clinton's statement when asked about her accomplishments as Secretary of State. "My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know, the remnants of prior situations and mind sets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture, and we didn't do that, and I'm proud of that. Very pr ...

in person, individually. This is how it should be done. Sort of like deciding whether to attend the visitation or making the home visit to a close friend. That trouncing down the street in solidarity was a show for the world, with little meaning. It might have been reassuring for the French, but the U.S. lack of participation or to what degree didn't affect the average person on the street. The government recognized what was important and those concerns ...

Don't understand this Congress. They confirm her as Commerce Secretary but she had co-ownership of Superior Bank, a Chicago-area thrift which failed in 2001 after losing millions of dollars on risky mortgage loans to borrowers with bad credit. Pritzker told the Senate Commerce Committee she felt “very badly” about the failure of the thrift. Don't you think It’s hypocritical for Obama to nominate Cabinet members who benefit from offshore tax ...

Anthony Foxx, mayor of Charlotte, has issued a city proclamation for "A Day of Reason." Penny Nance, evidently an opponent of reason, argues on Fox news that reason gives way to moral relativism, which is what caused the holocaust: "You know the Age of Enlightenment and Reason gave way to moral relativism. And moral relativism is what led us all the way down the dark path to the Holocaust." ...

This is just a partial excerpt of a very enlightening article... For months, the CIA, with unprecedented clarity, overtly threw its weight behind Hillary Clinton’s candidacy and sought to defeat Donald Trump. In August, former acting CIA Director Michael Morell announced his endorsement of Clinton in the New York Times and claimed that “Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.” The CIA and NSA director under George W. Bush, Gen. Michael Hayden ...

about the Libya attack. As news is uncovered, it's clear that the infamous video had nothing to do with the killing of our ambassador, and the WH knew it. They still arrested an American citizen as a method to cover up their incompetency. This is serious business. ...

"Record-low ratings for Obama's State of the Union address: Fewer than 33.3 million Americans watched President Obama's State of the Union address on television last night, the lowest turnout since President Clinton's final State of the Union address in 2000, according to newly released Nielsen ratings. Viewership for Obama's State of the Union addresses has been in decline since 2009, when he drew 52.4 million television viewers. 48.0 million watched on tele ...

Dems wasted their time for the 24 hours against her. I'd also like to know since when is a filibuster a "talkathon?" It was always a filibuster before. They blocked the voting process yesterday and spoke all night and into this morning before the vote.Again, DeVos made it with VP Pence's vote to break the tie. i find the Dems to be quite disgusting but at least they're showing their true colors, backed by the Teacher's Unions. Too bad they care more for the votes instea ...

It may be old news, but I don't recall any positive comments about it on this board. Deficit Prediction Trimmed for the Rest of the Decade By JACKIE CALMES Published: July 27, 2012 WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficit will be slightly lower for fiscal year 2012 and for the rest of the decade than projected earlier this year, the Obama administration said Friday. Its required midyear update on the nation’s fiscal health showed that while revenues are coming in lower tha ...

If you live in a red state and are unable to afford health insurance or find the costs to be outrageous, you have no one to blame but your elected officials. It is a shame, but you can change it by voting the bums out in the next election. I am fortunate enough to live in a very blue state and have reaped the benefits of affordable healthcare. ...

U.S. military pilots who have returned from the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq are confirming that they were blocked from dropping 75 percent of their ordnance on terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike, according to a leading member of Congress. Strikes against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) targets are often blocked due to an Obama administration policy to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage, according to Rep. Ed Royce (R., C ...

That's what I want to see more of in our country. I like that much better than braggadocio bluster on either side of the aisle. He has common sense in addition to being highly intelligent and well educated. I know I won't agree with every decision he makes, but I'm very pleased with our President. ...

for part of the pipeline. Regardless of how he feels about continued use of oil for energy, he's gotta admit that it will at least put Americans to work....and God knows we need that. However, I still don't get why he talks about green energy and opposed this pipeline for the longest time before agreeing to it....when he funded off shore drilling in Brazil. I guess I don't get the double standard there. We give aid to Brazil for drilling and yet Obama seems ...

Apparently the Republican "Mr. Right" does not exist. The Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, indicates President Obama hitting 50% or above when pitted against every Republican candidate except former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, but President Obama still tops Romney 47% to 41%. ...

I am reminded why I voted for him and still have confidence in him, even if I don't always agree with him. Bash me all you want, I don't care.

No need to flame. The author is conservative and yes, it's an opinion piece. It's the opinion of the author on why Obama will be a one-term president. 10 Reasons Obama Is a One Term President by Daniel J. Flynn Posted 06/20/2011 ET Less than two months ago, buzzing from the president’s gutsy call to eliminate Osama bin Laden, liberal pontificators had practically sworn in Barack Obama for his second term. “For the GOP the sands are rushing through the ...

It's being reported that the president knew about the problems at the VA since 2008, and so he should since he is Commander in Chief. So, if he knew about those problems and all these other scandals brewing, just what has he accomplished during his presidency other than the colossal failure known as Obamacare? Of all the scandals, the one involving Veterans is right up there with Benghazi. The very people who have volunteered to protect America, including the President, and this is the than ...

Every president has stayed out of the next president-elect's policy changes, etc. and helped them transition to the new administration. Not this guy. He is one spiteful ex-president and two-faced hypocrite. Last week when he met with Trump, Obama said his "number one priority" in the next two months in office is to facilitate the transition to the Trump administration. He said the two talked about "organizational issues," as well as domestic and foreign policies. "I believe that i ...

Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, who has been held in an Iranian prison on spy charges for almost 18 months, were freed Saturday along with three other Iranian-Americans in a prisoner swap on the eve of the lifting of U.S. sanctions against Iran, according to the Iranian news media.

I have no political heroes. None! I don't see President Obama as a hero. I don't see him as a villain. I think he's done some things well and others not so well. However, his speech will determine for me whether I will support him or not. There is not one person running on the other side that I would tolerate so far, so I'm sure hoping he doesn't lose me. LOL. How can he lose me? If he caves in to the people who want to take my Medicare and/or social security from me, ...
