1974 |
 |
Sears Tower was
opened for business in 1974. It was planned to be
the international corporate headquarters for Sears,
the world's largest retailer.
In 1974 Sears Tower was
the world's tallest building. |

Industrial production
in the United States
declined by 1% during 2009. This was the largest
decline since the government started tracking this
data in 1967. |
|
This statistic
proves that businesses and
investors are reluctant to
build plant and equipment, invest
in general, and will
continue to reduce hiring.
Businesses and investors are
reacting to the US
government's plans to increase taxes, accumulate
untenable deficits, spend borrowed and printed
money, and restructure the
US economy, including
the one-sixth that is the
health care sector. |
|
This reluctance is
nothing less than business and investment
people going on strike. |
|
Take that you union
bosses, you government administrators, and you
socialists in the Obama administration! |

Michelle Obama, your First Lady, has
words for you.
In Los Angeles, she lectured.
Read her words. |

Mexico Is Coming |
|
Mexican
trucks are coming across the US border,
bound for anywhere in America. |
|
It
appears that nothing, including furious
Teamsters nor angry environmentalists,
and not even Congress can stop them. |
|
Are
these drivers properly licensed and sober
or well-rested with the legal amount of
down time? Do they speak English or
understand US road signs? Will the
trucks be carrying illegal immigrants,
drugs, terrorists, nuclear or biological
weapons or other contraband? Will they
belch tons of banned pollutants into
America’s air? Will lower-paid Mexican
drivers put American truckers out of
work? Will the trucks gut the tax base
which supports US highway
infrastructure? |

Alabama Is Globalizing
|
The
huge German steelmaker ThyssenKrupp AG
announced it will build a $4.19 billion
steel plant in Mobile, Alabama. The project
could create thousands of jobs. |
 |
|
Globalization
is a two-way street. No. Wait. Globalization
is globalization. Many nations, most
industries, and many companies will benefit
by expanding globally. |
|
The plant
will be near Calvert, a town of about 500
residents. Calvert is so small that
residents now must go to the post office to
pick up mail because there is no street
delivery.

More
people were murdered in California
during 2005 than all
US military personnel killed in the
three-year-long Iraqi War. |

They Gave Land For
Peace.
Now They Must Fight For Peace. |

If Israel does not
defend itself, it will be destroyed.
Israel will not exist. |
|
Iran's leadership has repeatedly openly
called for the annihilation of Israel -- for Israel to be "wiped off
the map. Leaders of other nations of the region support this
objective politically, logistically, and through funding of
surrogate paramilitary groups. |
|
Israel has been threatened, attacked,
experienced years of homicide bombings that killed and maimed
civilians, and been targeted by marauding terrorists who enter and
kidnap Israelis. If your homeland experienced some of this, how
would you react? |
