As has long been suspected, Donald Trump is a con man extraordinaire. He doesn’t care who he rips off, who he screws out of a buck, or who suffers as long as he gets his payday. He’s a grifter masquerading as a businessman. Back in the old West, Donald Trump would have been a horse […]
Might it be possible that all of Donald Trump’s bragging about being “really rich” is just another of his lies? Could the Donald actually not be a billionaire and only be worth a measly few hundred million? That’s the contention of author Tim O’Brien. O’Brien, who wrote the 2004 book TrumpNation: The Art of Being The […]
In yet another sign that the Trump for President campaign is in total disarray, an “emergency” fundraising appeal was sent out via email Saturday morning, practically begging supporters to raise $100,000 by midnight so Trump can run television ads to counter those running against him from Hillary Clinton. The email begins: “Right now we’re facing […]
Perhaps you’ve seen the commercials that run from time to time on television regarding a rather obscure subject to most of us: the Conflict of Interest rule.

We all know that Donald Trump is an asshole of major proportions, perhaps the biggest gasbag to ever seek the White House, and that’s really saying something when you look back at the history of those who have run for that office. But the way Trump treated his own family during an internal feud helps us […]
SunTrust Banks is a huge multinational corporation with $189 billion in assets. Clearly, the banking business has indeed been profitable for SunTrust. Which makes what they recently told about 100 employees so puzzling. The bank recently let over 100 highly trained IT workers go, but it’s trying to retain their services for free by attaching […]
The stock market giveth, and the stock market taketh away. If you doubt that, just consider what happened yesterdaywhen Walmart stock hit a 30-year low. The company’s profits are estimated to decrease by 12 percent in 2015. How drastic has all this been for the Walton family heirs who own the majority of the stock […]
While he was speaking at the White House earlier today, Pope Francis happened to bring up the subject of climate change and said: “Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution.

As if we needed any further proof that 2016 GOP candidate Carly Fiorina will say or do anything to enrich or advance herself, we now have evidence that while she was CEO of Hewlett-Packard, her company sold millions of dollars of computer products to Iran in direct violation of U.S. sanctions.
