More good news from the New York Times!  Here is an article on German politics.  Chancellor Merkel was trying to decide if she should attend a soccer game as a guest of its owner, under investigation for tax evasion (maybe he used Uebertax!) and it is hardly salad days for her governing coalition: But for [...]

This blog writer at the German Marshall Fund of the United States (found at Real Clear World) warns us solemnly:  Let’s hope the Alternative for Germany fails for good: But absent a concerted and determined effort by Germans and all Europeans to refute AfD’s populism and consign it to political no-man’s land, the crisis in [...]

I have been too angry to write about Cyprus until today.  I cannot imagine what the people in the USA or any nation would do or could do with the possibility of a forcible, foreign inspired “tax” on bank savings.  I do not subscribe to the “taxation is theft” theory of libertarianism.  But this truly [...]

As expected, the German Constitutional Court largely upheld the plan by Chancellor Merkel to have a permanent bailout fund (funded largely by Germany whose people have not approved this in any sort of referendum) to step in any future Greece situations. The Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe dismissed motions that sought to block the European [...]

Don’t look now, Chancellor Merkel but the peasants may well be at the Bundestag door with pitchforks in hand! First the Pirate Party seems to be a place for those dissatisfied with Tweedledee and Tweedledum as well as a voice for liberty that can spread (and is spreading) across national borders. But there is another [...]

The early returns accordingly to the Daily Mail says the conservative New Democracy (Tweedledee) Party won the plurality of the seats in the Greek parliament and will enter into a probable government with the leftist PASOC (That’s Tweedledum for my readers!) to save the eurozone – for the moment. Although no party appears to have [...]

This Reuters article is what I expected on the eve of the Greek elections:  Vote Tweedledee or Tweedledum or ELSE! European leaders urged Greece to reject radical leftists who threaten to tear up the terms of a bailout deal should they win an election on Sunday, a result that would send shockwaves through global financial [...]

To parody an early rock and roll song: “Roll over Brezhnev and tell Hitler the news!” Here’s two reports on two remarkable statements made by the German Finance Minister about Greece. German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble is raising fresh demands, suggesting that Greece should postpone April’s elections and appoint a technocrat government for a year [...]

This is an intriguing article at nationalinterest.org talking about how the US will have to bail out the European superstate.  It is the TARP argument all over again: This is more than ironic. It is unreal, tragic in fact, because everyone around the conference table will know that a collapse of the euro would not [...]

There are many stories involving Europe.  it is almost impossible to keep up. A person I admire very much asked me what I thought the Greeks were up to:  I said I think it could be an attempt to force the EU to kick them out of the euro so they can go back to [...]

There appears finally to be the kind of revolt that the EU elites fear – that people will finally ask the question:  What’s in it for our nation to be part of the EU empire?  The answer is not much.  It appears that the German Bundestag (Federal parliament) is in revolt over the latest bailout [...]

Time to Take this New Deal Program off Taxpayer Life Support Business-as-usual politics by the Washington Establishment must stop. When politicians try to manipulate the markets, they fail miserably and ordinary Americans pay a severe price. The cycle of irresponsible lending and taxpayer bailouts must end in Washington DC. The federal government must get out [...]

Timo Soini, the leader of the anti-EU True Finn Party that nearly came in first in the recent elections in his country last month, wrote a guest column in the Wall Street Journal.  He is the kind of politician Europe needs (How ’bout that summer camp for EU politicos?  Sounds like a winner…) He calls [...]

It seems certain to me:  Greece ought to leave the euro.  Sandy says yes (for sovereignty reasons and to damage the European superstate) and so does Paul Krugman! What remains seems unthinkable: Greece leaving the euro. But when you’ve ruled out everything else, that’s what’s left.  *  *  *  If something like that happens in [...]

Here’s an encouraging report on the leader of the True Finns party in today’s Finnish elections from a British newspaper.  Timo Soini may be able to shake up the entire EU.  He ought to get 50% of the vote in today’s election.  But this EU mindset will probably prevent that: Admittedly, many younger residents of [...]

Below are her remarks, as prepared for delivery: Good evening, my name is Congresswoman Michele Bachmann from Minnesota’s 6th District.

What about this Fox News report about the Bailout Boyz at UAWChrysler getting plastered during their lunch breaks , then returning to build World Class Automobiles for Barack Hussein Obama MmmMmmMmm in the afternoon?   I immediately hearkened back to that classic Dead Kennedy’s tune, “Too Drunk to Jeep”.  Or something like that.  Parental warning.  The video is not really about stealing a private sector automobile corporation and giving it to union deadbeats, but it’s close enough.  In the world of Management = Labor, everything has become murky, at best. Is this more of that Five Fingered Bond that Chrysler keeps talking about?  Honesty.  Integrity.  All that? Maybe it is unfair of me …

This has been bugging me for a while.  Maybe it’s bugging you too. Has anyone noticed that the government controlled automobile companies are employing major American themes of HONOR and TRUST in their ads, a manly handshake, a bond amongst honorable men, while masking their true heritage?  You know.  The look in the eye followed by that five fingered bond. This Chrysler Corporation/Obama/United Auto Workers government welfare program advertisement trying to sell trucks doesn’t even use the word Chrysler in their ads?  It’s not a Dodge Ram.  It’s RAM.  Just RAM.  When I think of Obama and the autoworkers union, honor and trust don’t come to mind.  I think this advertisement has been pulled.  You know.  That fictitious ad from GM saying that they’ve repaid the taxpayers for their bailout, which turned out to be total Bravo Sierra. When I think of the way that two major automobile companies were stolen from investors, when I think of automobile dealerships stolen from their rightful owners and given to political patrons it’s not a five fingered bond, it&#…
