McCain/Palin Is The Opposite of Obama/Biden & Bush/Cheney

By Kevin Korenthal | 08/29/08

The Obama campaign (followed by their minions in the mainstream media) are criticizing Sarah Palin of being too inexperienced to be "a heartbeat away from the Presidency". This is obviously a play on the Republican's criticism that Obama himself has little qualification tobe President.But I have come to the conclusion that McCain/Palin represents the opposite of Obama/Biden. If you are going to have a candidate that is weak on experience, it... read more »

What's At Stake In 2008

By Kevin Korenthal | 07/10/08

What is at stake is the very fabric that comprises our system of commerce. The unions are going to spend every dime they can squeeze from workers paychecks to defeat John McCain and the Republicans in November. Once they've accomplished that, they will proceed to dismantle the Office of Labor/Management Studies which oversees the activities of the labor bosses. Meanwhile they will be hard at work removing secret ballot elections from the... read more »

By Kevin Korenthal | 07/05/08

The only thing that has changed since we filed the assault and destruction of property complaint against Carpenters Local 1506 out of Los Angeles, CA is that the NLRB has revealed that the original charges were not where the best case against the the Carpenters lay. It is the testimony of the owner of the primary contractor and an employee that he (owner Steve Carlyle) was unable to freely access the place of a labor dispute due to protesters... read more »

By Kevin Korenthal | 06/11/08

We just enrolled my incoming 6th grade daughter in something called the California Virtual Academy, an online California-tax-funded Charter School. The program gets rave reviews from parents and unbiased educators alike. Charter Schools  -- if the LAUSD and other behemoth school districts don't kill them off first -- is the future of American education. Here is why:Study: Charter schools on topBy Connie Llanos, Staff WriterArticle... read more »

Iran Not Cooperating With IAEA... Big Surprise There!

By Kevin Korenthal | 05/26/08

The too long time head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei has generally been very public in his support of "the process" of verifying Iran is not developing nuclear weapons. The impression I always got was that ElBaradei did this more against the U.S than for the Mad Mullahs. Now it turns out that when the agency he represents finally agrees that Iran is indeed hiding several nuclear components in its allegedly peaceful... read more »

Here A PLA, There A PLA, Everywhere A PLA

By Kevin Korenthal | 05/18/08

The Los Angles/Orange County Building Trades Council is just about set to win whatever you call one more than a trifecta of union-only labor agreements. The City of Long Beach as well as the City of Los Angeles, the Port of L.A. and the Community Redevelopment Agency are all about to get Project Labor Agreements. Greedy, union-sponsored pols abound in these municipalities and they are unabashed in their zeal for putting these discriminatory... read more »

Ken Maddox Is A Big Labor Republican

By Kevin Korenthal | 05/05/08

It should come as no surprise that this blogger is against Ken Maddox for Capistrano Unified School District Board. I've already pointed out that Maddox is not only a shill for Big Labor but has actually stumped for the anti-free market tool called the union-only Project Labor Agreement.It was on this very blog that it was revealed that the Director of Legislative Affairs to Board of Equalization Member Michelle Steel has aspirations for this... read more »

Labor Unions Are Problematic

By Kevin Korenthal | 05/01/08

As Big Labor becomes increasingly irrelevant in American Society, labor bosses have grasped at straws to stay in the news and in the pockets of an ever-decreasing membership. What else would explain a labor union striking in support of withdrawing from Iraq? Thousands of dockworkers at West Coast ports stayed off the job on Thursday in what their union said was a call for an end to the war in Iraq.The International Longshore and Warehouse Union... read more »

Racism Runs Rampant In The Black Intelligentsia

By Kevin Korenthal | 04/11/08

The comments made by Barack Obama's pastor (God damn America) are but a national exposition of a problem that conservative pundits like myself have known about for a long time. Rather than white Americans being the racist group today, it is the very group that was once that the victim of racism that has picked up the mantle of racism and is using it for political gain. In my opinion the question of racism must include two different types.... read more »
