Romney Gets Trumped
Posted on 03. Feb, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
After much hemming and hawing, The Donald has finally (hopefully?) decided not to throw his hat into the 2012 Presidential race and support one of the four remaining Republican candidates. Speculation was swirling around who exactly Trump would endorse for the Republican nomination. Wednesday the rumor mill was flooded with reports that Newt Gingrich would [...]
Obama And The Daleys
Posted on 11. Jan, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
The Obama White House has occasionally been refereed to as the 51st Ward, a fictitious (and evidently far flung) section of the Chicago political map. While this dubious honor probably was not meant to paint the White House as beholden to the political masters of Chicago, it does speak to the mentality and methodology of [...]

The Cancerous Tiger
Posted on 18. Jan, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
Chinese President Hu Jintao will be meeting with President Obama on Wednesday. This meeting has been given some seriously sinister overtones in the last few weeks, despite repeated efforts by both sides to ratchet down the rhetoric concerning friction between the world’s last remaining superpower and the new kid on the block. In the United [...]
U.S. Backs Down In Chinese Currency Fight
Posted on 16. Oct, 2010 by Theodore Roe in Politics
Yet again the Obama administration has pussed out. Just the whiff of international confrontation with China has sent them scurrying back into their hidey holes. One would think that an administration that has vigorously attacked the policies of lending institutions and banks in the United States would have an interest, indeed a duty, to address [...]
Chicago Is Rahmboned

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the Democrat Machine tyranny of the Daley clan may soon be, at least temporarily, out of the Mayor’s office. After 44 years (over a 53 year span) of someone named Dick Daley running Chicago, the Windy City is now in horrific economic shape, drowning in over 560 million dollars in debt [...]

September 11th this year marks the ninth anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center towers. One would think the news would be more centered on a somber reflection on that fateful day that the United States finally recognized that our newest enemy did not wear a uniform or fly a single flag. It [...]
Religion And The Presidency
Posted on 30. Aug, 2010 by Alex Sharp in History
Religion is a hot button topic in the United States when it comes to presidents. From George Washington right up to Barack Obama, the president’s religious beliefs have been a source of controversy, conflict and outright lying. A recent Pew Research Poll that showed more and more Americans (now an astounding 18% of them) believe [...]
The 9/11 Hijackers Were Not Muslims
Posted on 14. Aug, 2010 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
While it was late in coming, at least our Commander-in-Chief finally stood up for the civil rights of Americans. In the battle between irrational hatred and embracing the ideals of freedom and liberty that this country stands for, President Obama chose the latter. “As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the [...]
Fair Trial For Blago?
Posted on 17. May, 2010 by Betty Loren-Maltese in Analysis, Politics
Fair trial for Blago? Anyone with any common sense and knowledge of the federal judicial system has to realize that former Governor Blagojevich cannot get a fair trial in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois and/or the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The jury pool, not only in Illinois but across the [...]
