Truthful Issues & Insights

Although it may be a tall order to attract viewers given their anti-American stances, earlier today, Al Jazeera America launced in some 40 million homes through cable systems across America. The network is ambitious, hiring top talent, mostly from CNN, to become the face of the network here in the states.

The Hollywood Reporter, of all people, has a quick primer on the network.  The ownership is not fond of America, and has been supportive on and off the air of those who seek harm to Uncle Sam. 

For some reason; however, members of the left not only welcome, but push it as the place to get non biased, "real news".  This includes Hillary Clinton, who is currently engaged in some sort of coronation for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

The majority of the major cable outlets welcome Al-Jazeera, and all voices should be welcomed.  Of course, these same companies have for the most part rejected efforts by The Blaze, an American company, to be included on their systems.  Bias at play? Count on it.

Any information presented by Al-Jazeera should be absorbed with caution.  This is true for any new source, particularly the major news networks, whose portrayal of balance is non credible.  This includes blogs, including this one.  Information should be analyzed in order to formulate a sound basis for an opinion to be derived.

One of the top sources of information I utilize is Investors Business Daily.  I became a subscriber back in the early 1990's because William J. O'Neill had developed a proprietary stock evaluation system that was unrivaled.  Without question, pouring through the pages of IBD has been an invaluable tool for technical and fundamental analysis of stock performance.

However, over the years the editorial pages of IBD has become the top of the field, edging out the fine folks over at The Wall Street Journal.  The IBD editorial page allows the reader to find out what is really going on, something not found in most major newspapers or network or cable news. They say it like it is.

IBD offers no quarter to those who aim ill will against the freedom and prosperity of the United States, and that is an effort I can subscribe to.  The following is a sample of articles over the last few days, opinions based on facts presented for your consumption and evaluation, for your review.

Investors Business Daily

From our founding, we are a nation of laws, not men. Although there have been a multitude of missteps, we have always strived to operate beholden to the rule of law and a code of ethics.  This philosophy is not a tenant in the Obama administration, which if you get news from the mainstream media you may be unaware of.  IBD makes the case, noting Obama's Legacy Of Lawlessness.

Among the falsities being promulgated by the administration is that the onslaught of scandals engulfing the Obama administration are phony, but most everyone recognizes how deceitful and disrespectful that commentary is.  IBD won't assist in letting these scandals die, and has a piece about That "Phony" Fast And Furious Scandal.

America is waking up, and the Obama administration if quite fearful that everyone is about to recognize what an actual fraud Obama is.  To that extent, everyone who legally criticizes Commander Thin Skin must be publicly admonished, including a rodeo clown in Missouri.  Yeah, a rodeo clown. IBD comes out In Defense Of Rodeo Clowns in an editorial by Pulitzer Prize winning Cartoonist Michael Ramirez.

 



Mark Steyn

With the NSA scandal, not so phony at all, exploding down a rat hole of unlawful government activity, Americans from all factions of political arenas are quite concerned.  Guest columnist Mark Steyn, a true treasure, expresses a viewpoint that the Glum Fact Of Life Today: Our Privacy Is Vanishing.  It is vanishing in much more rapid fashion than you realize, and before it is too late, you should know the facts.

Analysis from the left and right is presented on a daily basis, and you should read each one to gain perspective regarding what those who see the world opposite of you are thinking and feeling.  Knowledge is power; right?

Eugene Robinson

Eugene Robinson, of The Washington Post, writes from the left that Obama Needs To Speak Truth About Egypt.  Robinson is an Obama guy, but he seems to understand the importance of the rule of law in our country. For Robinson to insinuate the truth is missing regarding this subject speaks volumes.  I cannot recall thinking, much less writing this, but Robinson is on point in this editorial.


Larry Kudlow

Lawrence Kudlow, a favorite of BAHL Revere, often offers economic commentary from the right in IBD.  Although I have a degree in Economics and find it most interesting, most folks do not. But it is vitally important for our citizens to have a basic understanding of how the economy ticks and what policies enhance economic growth which benefits our citizenry.  Kudlow, host of The Kudlow Report on CNBC, writes that the Obama History Of Economy Is But A Fairy Tale.

The crisis is Egypt is under reported in the mainstream media, but not at IBD.  In fact, not only are we being lied to about the severity of situation as it stands, but what actually was a trigger point for causing the crisis in the first place.  You guessed it, You Can Thank Obama's Ego For The Carnage and Crisis in Egypt.

Amidst all the anger and horror, could you imagine who is actually being blamed and targeted?  You won't find that information in the mainstream media, or Al-Jerzerra, but while the world is mum, IBD informs you The Muslim Brotherhood Targets Coptic Christians in Egypt.

Investors Business Daily is a reliable source for inquisitive readers to gain a solid perspective on the economic and geopolitical events that, while not commonly considered, do have a major effect on the everyday lives of our citizenry.

As we have said, The Salvation Of The State Is Watchfulness In The Citizen. At the top of list of outlets for the citizen to become informed is the editorial page of Investors Business Daily. In addition, you will gain command over your investment portfolio.

Left Lost On Wealth Creation

On weekdays, my lunch hour is generally consumed by reading the editorial page of Investors Business Daily. Yeah, I recognize I got issues. Most days, IBD has an "on the left" and "on the right" guest columnist. One of the moonbats on the left that just provides me endless comedy is Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson.

This past week, Robinson penned a column titled "As Different As Day & Night", which engaged the current sparring between President Obama and former Vice President Cheney. This was the normal left wing lunacy you might expect but the following paragraph caused me concern.

Comprehend this one: In Obama World, Americans have a sense of community and shared purpose. Those upon whom fortune has smiled — through accident of birth, educational opportunity, career-enhancing connections or any other kind of "right place, right time" serendipity — recognize that extending a hand to those who do not enjoy such advantages is not just morally right, but ultimately beneficial to all.

On the list of things indicating how fortune has smiled on Americans, I found a couple of glaring omissions. Did any ring in your head? How about hard work? What about risk taking? The entrepreneurial spirit? These aspects seem obvious to me but then I wondered aloud, "Does Mr. Robinson even consider these things when thinking about those who are wealthy achieved their success?" I think not. I think he actually believes that the way wealth was achieved was by the examples he listed. Is this a void by the members of the left ideology, or does this come from the background of Mr. Robinson being African-American. Can't be that; surely he has met Chris Gardner, whose rags to riches story is incredibly inspiring. I am not sure, but the thought process is un-American as I see it.

Robinson further digs at Cheney, writing The idea that luck or connections could possibly have anything to do with, say, becoming the lavishly compensated chairman and chief executive of a mega-corporation such as Halliburton? Preposterous and un-American".

Cheney felt that "obtaining great wealth and power has nothing to do with being "fortunate," whatever that means. It's all about preparation, focus and hard work. Cheney is nothing but right. I have known many a classmate who was born into money whose life is far from full of riches. It comes down to you and what you make of your opportunities. In fact, interestingly enough, I was born in the same hospital as Cheney, so we entered this world through the same hospital exit, just about two some decades apart, with the same opportunities to create our own paths of success, which may or may not have anything to do with our financial status, another point seemingly missed by Robinson.

Robinson closes that Obama (s) World is an exciting place to live right now — not perfect, to be sure, but full of energy and hope. Robinson must have missed those tea parties also. Obama's world is steadfastly leading us to a fascist state by having governmental influence of historic proportions, implementing spending programs which expand entitlements and are set to saddle our grandchildren with a smothering debt, displaying a complete lack of regard for the principles (among them contract law) that have held this country together and a naivete regarding foreign policy that is beyond troubling. The aftermath is draining our energy and pocketbook, squelching our hope, unless you are down on your luck, in which case the Obama's World can bail you out, on the back of the taxpayers aforementioned shrinking pocketbook.

America is traveling down a very destructive path under the current leadership. Ask the Chrysler dealers. I hope you will join me in doing whatever legally possible to defeat this encroachment.
