Today 9/30, 4.06pm Central Time -- Streamed live on http://www.wyll.com - WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL Hear James Simpson interviewed by Sandy Rios. James Simpson is the former White House economist who has just published "Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis" on AmericanThinker.com. Simpson lays out the positioning of Barack Obama relative to the neo-Marxist tactics of Saul Alinsky, plus Obama's implied relationship to the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" of generating national, financial crises, in order to turn the nation toward ever stricter socialism. He also connects the dots of what this has to do with the "community organizers" of ACORN...

MILWAUKEE Some 5,400 Harley-Davidson Inc. workers are out of work this week as the motorcycle maker cuts production because of falling sales. The Milwaukee-based company announced in September it would shut down production at plants in Wisconsin, Kansas City, Mo., and York, Pa., this week as part of a planned cut in production. A shorter layoff is better than a long one, said Frank Larkin, a spokesman for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents workers at Harley-Davidson plants. At least workers were able to prepare for it, he said. "We were informed early on this was...

Google has registered a political action committee with the US Federal Election Commission... apparently we’re now going to see the bizarre leftist philosophy so evident at Google News extended into the political meat world: Google becomes a political player. Google has an impressive list of players on its team. As well as counting Al Gore among its senior advisers, Google’s Washington office was set up about a year and a half ago by Alan Davidson. A well-known Democrat sympathiser, he served for eight years as associate director of the Centre for Democracy and Technology, a thinktank that opposes government and...

After Human Events Online posted a July 12 article on the College Republican National Convention (“President of College Republicans Sets Sights on ’06”), the blog CRNCtruthcaucus.com listed the piece as “More bad press.” Why, you might ask, is an unassuming story about the aspirations of newly elected Chairman Paul Gourley considered negative coverage? Maybe the last few paragraphs about fund-raising have something to do with it. An obviously displeased CRNC intern approached me soon after the article’s publication and asked if I’d be interested in writing an “alternative” piece about their field representatives. Gourley himself then offered, more delicately, the...

Speaker Davidson: John Kerry’s Pessimism Won’t Bring Jobs to Ohio COLUMBUS, OH – Today, Bush-Cheney ’04 Regional Chair and former Speaker of the House Jo Ann Davidson issued the following statement regarding recent economic growth and Sen. John Kerry’s continued pessimism toward an improving economy: "John Kerry’s gloom and doom campaign talk won’t create one job in Ohio. Worse, by continuing to speak negatively in the face of an ever-improving economy, Sen. Kerry shows no appreciation for the folks here who have worked hard to expand our economy and add jobs. Today, Ohio’s economy continues to improve: wages are up,...

While some long-time critics of President Ronald Reagan stifled their inclination to criticize the dead, others launched the kind of venomous attacks that marked his long career in politics. Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy said yesterday he regretted Reagan died without ever standing trial for 1986 air strikes he ordered that killed the Libyan president's adopted daughter and 36 other people. Ronald Reagan ordered the April 15, 1986, air raid in response to a discotheque bombing in Berlin allegedly ordered by Khadafy that killed two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman and injured 229 people. "I express my deep regret because...

Waukesha - Cemetery director Michael Wilson makes no bones about it. He believes Harley-Davidson motorcycle riders will be dying to camp at the city's graveyard during this summer's 100th anniversary celebration and figures his scheme could net Prairie Home Cemetery hundreds of thousands of dollars. "I believe that there might be enough bikers out there who would find it curious to sleep in a cemetery," Wilson said. "They can go home and tell their friends they slept with the dead. And I don't think it's disrespectful to the cemetery to have this one-time event." Wilson stressed that the bikers and...
