There is still a lot of talk and writing about President Barack Obama’s win. People are still trying to explain just how a sitting president won re-election with the economy being so bad that many called it a recession. How could Obama win with the unemployment so high and the wages so low? Gas is … Continue Reading →
As a little boy, I was taught the Gettysburg Address and the Bill of Rights. It was important to be able to recite or say by hard, as we called it, these important documents. We were told we could need them to grow up and become voting citizens of the United States. Though blacks were … Continue Reading →
There are a lot of people in the state of New York upset about the publishing of the names and addresses of legal gun owners in their area. The right to know where ex-sex offenders live is OK by most people, but they think gun owners should have the right to privacy. They feel it … Continue Reading →
The truth is I like the Michigan governor who calls himself a nerd. Rick Snyder is no procrastinator, nor is he timid about anything. He stepped up to the microphone and stated his purpose and reasoning for changing his agenda, after saying that the right-to-work bill was not it. The governor made it clear that … Continue Reading →
The unions of Walter Reuther and John L. Lewis are needed more now than ever. The union of Jimmy Hoffa and John J. Sweeney must be resurrected. We need unions with muscle, not just talk.

The “Nerd” was unlike the GOP’s hurt, hate and divide crowd. Gov. Rick Snyder wasn’t Scott Walker, John Kasich or Rick Perry. … Continue Reading →
I met Barrack Hussein Obama when he was a popular Democrat from Chicago campaigning in Michigan for a young woman from Canada running for governor of Michigan. He had been elected to the United States Senate and she was trying to tie down the Detroit black vote by having a fundraiser featuring the popular speechmaker. … Continue Reading →
There should be 671,000 protesters in Lansing, all ready to go to jail. This is a matter of life; life as a human or a tool used by the top capitalist to make the owners and CEOs the haves and the workers the have nots. Every union leader must call the membership of their local … Continue Reading →
Gov. Snyder has been my kind of leader since the nerd became governor. Like Coleman A. Young when he was mayor of Detroit, the governor didn’t stick his finger in the air to see which way the wind was blowing to make a decision. On the bridge to Canada the governor didn’t say, “Hey I’m … Continue Reading →
