An excellent bit of media. Accurate, and entertaining…and very, very scary. The ideas of John Maynard Keynes and their implementation by politicians looking only as far as the next election, in my very own opinion, has led our economy to the brink of collapse. Even though he’s quite dead, he’s “still around”…Barrak Obama [...]

JS Kim is a financial forecaster that you will NOT hear on MSNBC. Unfortunately, he is also probably right. He correctly called the 2008 financial debacle, and does not see that the actions of our government or our banks have improved our situation…only band-aided it. Today, I am redirecting our readers to [...]

or Why Battle Ground School District Needs and Deserves Our Help
BY: MICHAEL FROME 01.19.2010
Our Battle Ground School District, like many regular people just like me, has seen a serious reduction in revenue this past year. The year 2009 was quite unkind to the US economy. Many of us have experienced the pain [...]

A quick side note by Yours Truly. Jon is using federal Department of Labor “U3″ statistics. They are inaccurate, and are only good for a benchmark against the recent decade. A better measure is the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ “U6″, which includes discouraged and marginally attached workers. It is higher, [...]

A brief piece about (and to) our Esteemed Representative of Washington’s 3rd District. I don’t always agree with Dr. Baird, but he has demonstrated considerable courage and consideration in not allowing himself to be railroaded into thoughtless acquiescence by the Democratic Party Leadership on this health care nonsense.
I want to thank Congressman [...]

A tremendous deficit, Social Security raided, Medicare and Medicaid broken. Businesses taxed to the point that it is far better to send jobs overseas, putting Americans out of work. The ‘Made in the USA’ label virtually a thing of the past. An education system, welfare system, and health care system in need of repair. [...]
Jon Russell is running for Washington State’s 3rd district House seat. His message as a Constitutionalist goes beyond just our neck of the woods, though. This is the kind of person we need to stick in Congress in order to “Take Back Our Republic”.

I hesitated and almost didn’t post the column that I wrote yesterday. [definitely worth a read -ed] It was a little more personal than most. I finally decided the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
The main reason is that I feel it is necessary to answer those who try to criticize the ideas I present [...]

President Obama’s town halls never cease to amaze me. During the August recess when members of Congress were taking the heat from their constituents regarding health care reform, President Obama’s meetings with the American people were quite a different picture. The passion, anger, and frustration of the American people over a clear [...]

I recently had the opportunity to spend an hour with US Senate candidate Sean Salazar, and chat about both the political process in general, as well as his views in particular. I am thankful to him for this because I, like many, have never been very involved in politics.
One of Sean’s key points to [...]

The current health care reform debate in our country is nothing new. Throughout our history, there have been many who have taken on this issue. The Clintons tried it in the early nineties. Theodore Roosevelt and Harry Truman tried, in their own times. Now, the proponent for health care ‘change’ is President [...]

On June 29, 2009 Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was removed from power. The media first reported this as a “Coup d’état”, and in some cases is still reporting this as a “Coup” (please see bottom of page for reference article –ed).
What really happened on June 29, 2009? Was this really a Coup, or [...]
