Texas Rangers
First the good news. Texas Rangers will be deployed to the Texas-Mexico border to deal with increasing violence because the federal government has failed to address growing problems. It is an expansive effort with the Rangers playing a high-profile. Forces, dubbed “Ranger recon” teams, are the latest effort “to fill the gap that’s been left by the federal government’s failure to secure our border with Mexico”
Texas governor early asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano for 1,000 National Guard troops and renewed his call last month in a letter to President Barack Obama. Washington is shortchanging border security, not giving them support they need. Governer Perry’s announcement drew immediate criticism from {I’m not to bright} U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who is running against the two-term incumbent. Perry fired back that it was the height of hypocrisy for someone who’s been in Washington, D.C., for 16 years, who’s had the opportunity to help Texas on our border security, and have not been successful in delivering resources and help.
Now for the Bad News: The Cayman Islands is sacrificing beauty contest for bucks. The government is telling beauty pageant participants that all contests have been postponed until the economy improves.
Venezuela’s leftist President Hugo Chavez said Friday that his country is buying Russian missiles with a range of 186 miles as part of a series of arms deals with Moscow.
Barack Obama slapped punitive tariffs on all car and light truck tires entering the United States from China in a decision that could anger the strategically important Asian powerhouse but placate union supporters important to his health care push at home.
Sweeney spent 14 years building the AFL-CIO into a political powerhouse for leftist Democratic causes. Sweeney transformed labor movement by firmly aligning the AFL-CIO with the Democratic left. He turned to these models of organizing the base as a way to gain political power. Now that labor has a Democrat in the White House and a Democratic majority in Congress, departed unions are considering a return to the AFL-CIO to help Obama enact his fairy tail stimulus package and seek passage of a socialist health care system.
