Major League Baseball has sent down investigators to the hometowns in Kentucky of two of their umpires to ask their neighbors if they were members of the Ku Klux Klan. I can think of some better things for them to spend their time investigating (like steroid use by their star players,) but these types of PC witch hunts are so common that I normally wouldn’t bat an eye over this.
U.S. employers pared their payrolls in January for the first time in more than four years. Nonfarm payrolls fell by an estimated 17,000--the first decline since August 2003.
Goldilocks (the "just right" economy I've written about before) may not be dead, but she’s very sick.For Hispanics, however, she may as well be dead and buried.
Hispanic employment fell by 197,000, or by 1 percent, in January. By contrast, 234,000 more non-Hispanics were employed, an increase of 0.2 percent.
It's a little puzzling why the political press is always in such a rush to hurry along the nomination process, to declare various candidates dead and to designate others as sure things. After all, it's been January until a few hours ago. And even in this ridiculously front-loaded primary season, only 10% of the GOP delegates and 4% of the Democratic delegates have been awarded.
I watched the "historic" debate between Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama last night. The immigration issue was discussed in more detail than in previous debates, especially previous Republican debates.
They are at it again. La Raza ("The Race" in English) is complaining about "hate speech" among immigration restrictionists. The Razas are particularly miffed at the few members of the MSM who consistently tell the truth about open borders, particularly Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan and Glenn Beck.
