I knew that they prosecuted whistle-blowers but not to that extent.

Very interesting the amount of aid given to Israel and Pakistan. I am sure that many american would agree that this money could be better spent in the US. But how to make these changes progressively, without […]

I just went to Google and tried it. You indeed only arrive on the Privacy policy page after going through the home page and the “stay safe and secure online” page. I don’t think it is a really big deal because […]

“However, the Obama administration has compiled a long record of prosecuting whistle-blowers.” This is really the underreported story here. Most media outlets take the admin’s side when examining prosecutions of […]

at a certain point having these federal exemptions makes it kind of pointless to institute federal standards in the first place, legislators spend all their time trying to get out of the federal regulations rather […]

I think this bill would be great for CA and should even be adopted in other border states.

Agreed,very strange tweet. No very confident.

As any French person, we loved Obama in 2008 and again in 2012. sadly when you look closer at his actions in the white house, he is indeed not the “Hope” we hoped for. But remain certain that he has been the best […]

bit of a strange cut on that tweet ”

Photo: I’m delighted to announce that we’ve reached an agreement to acquire Tumblr! We promise not to screw…”

on the topic of 501c4′s, I can see the need for anonymous donations, the problem comes when they violate the established limitation on electioneering. As a group dedicated to social welfare, that is what you […]

The DOJ had said it would make a statement concerning the legalization topic months ago. Still hasnt happened that I’ve seen. Terribly disappointing.

sin taxes are always a tricky question. an adult is free to choose as he/she wishes but how far is too far for the government to go to dissuade consumers?

i know the mental health consequences are particularly volatile. Something like this should really be a discussion with one’s doctor.

the fact that ‘socialist’ even has any shock value at all is more the problem. The historical implications are clear, but the ‘mainstream’ opinion of the philosophy is horribly out of touch.

“Ever since 1974, Congress has been trying to do it all again. The “-gate” suffix has become the universal indicator of government scandal.”
This phenomenon is both amusing and kind of sad. Almost like a retired […]

Problem is that the insurance companies are in control of pretty much everything right now …

If doctors are prohibited from doing it, i do agree that the prohibition should be extended to pharmacists.

It’s been 4 years??? Holy cow. Is this really the case though? The shooter is on payroll and the victims have received no compensation?

i think this story will have some really big whistleblower ramifications. We’ve seen whistle blower prosecution increase under Obama, and i dont think it’ll change now.

The problem of inflation has it’s greatest impact on education.
“The address states that average workload for full-time professors has gone up 10 percent. He explains that costs of education are addressed by […]

i like the idea, but how difficult would it be to implement? I’m sure the legal questions still need to be hammered out.

probably best not to jump the gun on this one.

It is very true that Governor Christie has been able to appeal to much more than just Republican and I think this is great. We need more politicians like that.

I agree that some precautions need to be taken before going forward with online voting but we need to start somewhere. Canada has done a lot of good experiment, we should maybe look into what they ar doing.

I had forgotten about this story and really did not know that the families of the victims where still denied compensation.

The price of college has become ridiculous. I don’t know how we can continue to put such weight on a 18 years old shoulders who do not know what the consequences of taking so much loans are.

I imagine that this is not the case for all legislators, as many of them are in safer districts?

Its going to happen eventually. Just a matter of time. Some of the early concerns are certainly warranted and the pressure will make for a better system once it does happen.

Exactly. Too much rushing to report things we don’t know anything about. The worst are the crime stories that our media comes out and declares the guilt of people charged with crimes … isn’t that what the […]

“Democratic Party from mere moral supporters to legislative political advocates can be attributed to their ability to organize as a political unit.” This is really the big shift that’s occurred over the last […]

Ironically, I think it will happen a lot faster once the GOP finds it in their political interest to change their tune.

the push for common core has seen a lot of criticism. I’m betting implementation will be rocky.

That’s a lot of money down on education. Now if costs would go down.
