One of the members of that attorney general cabal, Claude E. Walker of the U.S. Virgin Islands, has subpoenaed the non-profit Competitive Enterprise Institute for a stunningly wide array of documents from 1997 to 2007 related to policy work on climate change.
Piltz talks about what he believes ExxonMobiil should do, and he's got every right to do so. But there is a big difference in his doing so and two U.S. Senators doing the same: He has no power to subpoena company executives into hearings or impose taxes or regulations. Yes, the Senators have free speech rights to say whatever they want, but there is a difference between their personal opinions and those they convey on behalf of their office.

Obamacare is collapsing, with average premiums set to increase by 25 percent in 2017 and health insurers jumping ship. Obamacare's defenders call for harsher tax penalties against the uninsured and more subsidies for those who use the government's insurance exchange. But if our goal is to help people obtain high-quality and affordable health care, then saving Obamacare shouldn't be the goal. We need to expand exemptions from fines and encourage people to leave a flawed system. READ MORE
The administration has been criticized by many for not engaging in Clintonian triangulation, in not bending to the political winds to pass something incremental and obtainable. Speaker Pelosi's decision to push her caucus to a floor vote on cap-and-trade legislation that was unlikely to pass the Senate might cost dozens of Democrats their seats. The decision to push the health-care bill after Scott Brown won the Massachusetts special election to the Senate has helped to define the entire 2010 campaign. Had they not done these things, many moderate progressives argue, Democrats could have staved off the massive defeat they are now certain to suffer.

We now know that the progressives, despite their dissatisfaction with many elements of President Obama's agenda, largely won those fights. The result is that large segments of the American electorate feel that the administration and Democrats in Congress don't understand and don't care to understand their aspirations and fears. This sentiment is most keenly and strongly felt among conservative Republicans, but it is sharedfor different reasonsby many nonconservatives. This sentiment is particularly strong among the white working class and among Catholics.
Now that the dust has settled on the 2014 midterms, we can get a sense of how things will change in Washington under a Republican controlled Senateand energy will be front and center.

"King?s Daughters Medical Center in Ashland, KY is suing a local union that represents more than 600 of its employees, claiming it is trying to harass the hospital?s CEO. The complaint against Service Employees International Union District 1199 was filed on Dec. 29, the day before the union voted to reject KDMC?s latest contract offer. The complaint alleges the union violated federal statutes by causing hundreds of automated telephone calls to be made to KDMC, but the union claimed it was in full compliance with the law."

So, it appears that Guadalajara may represent the abandonment of the SPP nominally, but work toward its objectives will continue through the annual leaders meetings where Obama, Harper and Calderon will task cabinet officials to meet to work on specific shared priorities; and cabinet ministers will in turn assign personnel to work out differences so that a report can be made to the leaders on progress in time for their next meeting or phone call.

Post-election, the Keystone pipelinewhich the State Department has projected would create more than 40,000 jobshas suddenly leapt to the front of the lame-duck-legislation line. Months ago, Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and John Hoeven (R-ND), along with 54 others (including 11 Democrats), reintroduced legislation to authorize building the Keystone pipelinebut Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has blocked the popular bill by repeatedly denying requests to take up the legislation. The House has already approved eight previous Keystone bills and quickly passed an identical bill sponsored by Landrieu's election opponent Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA).
President Obama declared in May that "As the wealthiest nation on Earth, I believe the United States has a moral obligation to lead the fight against chronic hunger and malnutrition, and to partner with others." He saluted U.S. global food programs but noted with characteristic understatement that "when tens of thousands of children die from the agony of starvation, as in Somalia, that sends us a message we've still got a lot of work to do. It's unacceptable. It's an outrage. It's an affront to who we are."

It is hard for Jacksonians to mobilize politically. Neither party really embraces a Jacksonian agenda. Combining a suspicion of Wall Street, a hatred of the cultural left, a love of middle class entitlement programs, and a fear of free trade, Jacksonian America has problems with both Republican and Democratic agendas. Any Jacksonian political movement will start as a party insurgency, and the Jacksonians will on the whole be less well funded, less experienced and less institutionally powerful than their party opponents. Jacksonians are neither liberal nor conservative in the ways that political elites use those terms; they are radically egalitarian, radically pro-middle class, radically patriotic, radically pro-Social Security. They are not, under normal circumstances, joiners in politics; they are individualists who organize in response to threats, and their individualism goes to their stands on what outsiders sometimes think are the social issues that unite them.

When presidential candidate Ronald Reagan remarked that "fascism was really the basis of the New Deal," liberals and the media hooted; the Washington Post huffed that "several historians of the New Deal period questioned by the Washington Post said they had no idea what Reagan was referring to." Thanks to Shlaes's book, journalists in the future will not be able to plead such ignorance: She notes that FDR's first attempt at centralized economic planning, the National Recovery Administration (NRA), owed its inspiration in part to Mussolini's Italian model. The NRA's ineffectuality could be demonstrated in a number of theoretical or technical ways, but Shlaes captures the futility of the enterprise in two magnificent sentences: "In a period of a year, 10,000 pages of law had been created , a figure that one had to compare with the mere 2,735 pages that constituted federal statute law. In twelve months, the NRA had generated more paper than the entire legislative output of the federal government since 1789."
As I have noted here before, the main contours of the health care plans on the table resemble both the moderate Republican alternative to the Clinton plan proposed by the late Sen. John Chafee (R-R.I.) and the Massachusetts plan championed by then-Gov. Mitt Romney (R), which was actually enacted into law. We know that the Massachusetts plan had issues as it was rolled out, including higher-than-expected costs and serious strains on primary care physicians as the newly insured came into the system and put new demands on them. It required major adjustments on the way.

The workers compensation system, which is generally run state by state, has evolved as a win-win for workers and employers. Workers are guaranteed some minimum level of medical treatment and disability pay for their on-the-job injuries, and employers avoid the possibility of lawsuits for work-related injuries.

Coming from a court in a nation that purports to adhere to the rule of law and the constitutional separation of powers, these declarations are astonishing. The Dutch court takes upon itself the clearly legislative task of determining what costs are acceptable to the Dutch people and their government. Resources expended on carbon emission reduction are resources not available for other public purposes. Choosing among the alternatives is not a judicial function. And the court's declaration that rights and freedoms are contingent on social context and changes in society as monitored by the judiciary is a transparent abandonment of the rule of law.

Centene, another Obama inaugural donor, is a health care company described by investors as "a pure-play Medicare and Medicaid company." Some parts of Obamacare boost Medicare and Medicaid spending while other parts cut these programs. As Obama administration officials craft the details of the law, Centene's profits hang in the balance.
That changed after World War II. Strong presidential candidates appeared from different parts of the Democratic coalition. Each rose above stereotype.

Hubert Humphrey was an Upper Midwest progressive with a cheerful temperament.

Happily, at least C.J. Pearson the 12-year-old boy from the video above (which has 300,000+ views after 2 days) has endorsed Rudy Giuliani. Pearson could very well be ready to replace Barack Obama tomorrow. The White House has a different idea about the political qualities of the future U.S. presidents, however. So Obama chose a different black kid as the "kid president", a sycophantic boy who is proud of being able to sit in a chair .

He hates their instincts at home, too. It is Jacksonians who, as I wrote in Special Providence back in 2001, see the Second Amendment as the foundation of and security for American freedom. It is Jacksonians who most resent illegal immigration, don't want to subsidize the urban poor, support aggressive policing and long prison sentences for violent offenders, and who are the slowest to "evolve" on issues like gay marriage and transgender rights.

In addition, CEI experts acted as the cast for a series of famous movie scene parody shorts. P.J. O'Rourke's dinner remarks are excerpted in this issue of CEI Planet.

As he deployed 1199's resources to shore up New York's medical and political establishments, Rivera also burnished his progressive bona fides, championing tenants' rights, gay marriage, universal health care, and the withdrawal of the U.S. Navy from the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. In the modern incarnation of 1199, forged in Rivera's image, the line between politics and ideology becomes increasingly blurry, as does the distinction between power as a means and as an end in itself.
Another vital cog in the 1199 machine is the Working Families Party (WFP). Founded in 1998 by 1199 and several other unions and activist networks, the WFP is a creature of New York's "fusion" electoral system, through which minor parties can cross-endorse major-party candidates.

Having once been on either SEIU's or 1199's payroll appears to be almost a prerequisite for working in the de Blasio administration. Many members of the mayor's inner circle, including de Blasio himself, were once employed by SEIU or 1199. First Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris was an 1199 consultant, and de Blasio's former chief of staff, Laura Santucci, was an 1199 political aide who went on to work for the Democratic National Committee. Emma Wolfe, de Blasio's deputy campaign manager and now director of intergovernmental affairs for New York City, has worked for 1199 and the Working Families Party.
The Alliance recently brought on other veterans of national political campaigns: Steve Hildebrand, the Obama campaigns deputy national campaign director, is working as a consultant for the project.
