How McDonald’s is reacting to coming minimum wage hikes

When Big Government forces private businesses to pay workers more than their skills are worth, workers either lose their jobs or new jobs are not created. In some cases, machines replace people.

President Obama walks into a bank…

I read this on Facebook today and got a good laugh. Sorry, I don’t know who to attribute it to. I think you’ll enjoy it:

“I have a scheme”

By quinersdiner | August 12, 2014

A half a century has passed since the greatest speech of my lifetime was delivered.

Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech still moves me to tears.

Read it. It is magnificent, so superior to the drivel delivered by our current president.

Barack Obama had such potential. His election PROVED that America had moved into a post-racial era. After all, a majority of white Americans voted for an African-American candidate…

The unrelenting insincerity of Barack Obama

I believe in vacations.

Vacations rejuvenate us. They make us more productive. That’s why I’m a little less critical of President Obama’s prolific golf and vacation schedule than many conservatives. He really has a pressure-cooker job…

Every human soul is instinctively attracted to beauty. This modern world needs more beauty. This blog likes to occasionally post a work of art that brightens your day through sheer beauty.

I heard the quote above on the radio once. I did a little digging and discovered it is a variation of Dostoevsky’s quote: “beauty will save the world.” The 19th century Russian philosopher, Vladimir Solovyov, had this to say about Dostoevsky’s words:

Sarah Palin was right. Again.

By quinersdiner | August 10, 2014

No political figure garnered more public ridicule than Sarah Palin in the 2008 election. Radicals who control the media descended on Alaska with a vengeance to uncover dirt on Ms. Palin at the same time they showed shocking indifference to Barack Obama’s mysterious past.

Obama’s “stable Iraq” exposes the flaw of his foreign policy

By quinersdiner | August 9, 2014

America expended a ton of blood, sweat, and tears to stabilize Iraq. Honorable people can disagree on whether we should have gone to war. In light of Mr. Obama’s decision to withdraw, in light of Iraq’s subsequent rapid descent into chaos, the U.S. clearly should not have gone to war. American lives were lost in vain…
