Non-Union Power Crews Turned Away

Non-Union Power Crews Turned Away

Comments 3 comments

Pretty pathetic. I don’t care if you are tried and true union blue. But damn, these people need help. And it shows the hypocracy of unions.

Even for the better good for everyone, they turn down help because they don’t want their sacred unions shown up. Sounds a lot like the current administration.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY

The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews learned they’ll be doing work in Long Island, New York instead of in New Jersey.

Utility crews volunteered with Sandy recovery.

Crews from Decatur Utilities and Joe Wheeler out of Trinity headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can’t do any work there since they’re not union employees.

The crews that are in Roanoke, Virginia say they are just watching and waiting even though they originally received a call asking for help from Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

The crews were told to stand down. In fact, Moore said the crew from Trinity is already headed back home.

Understandably, Moore said they’re frustrated being told “thanks, but no thanks.”

I am reading about the tragic shooting in Milwaukee and the MSN home page shows a picture of an FBI assault vehicle. Our government police are beginning to look like…. our regular military. If you did not know better, where would you think this pic is taken from?
 Reminds me of this clip from Die Hard

Korean Company Makes Millions On Another Stimulus Failure

Korean Company Makes Millions On Another Stimulus Failure

Comments 0 Comment

So let me get this straight, Korean company gets $151 million, builds manufacturing plant with half , uses other half to buy materials to take back to Korea to….make batteries. So they are taking stimulus dollars and supplying a Korean company with it? And they are basically warehousing workers with nothing to do, so they can gain a  property tax exemption. Looks like some other countries are laughing hysterically at the idiocy of this program, laughing all the way to the bank.

Candy Crowley  was unbelievably involved in the debate last night. When should the moderator debate the candidate? When is it OK for the moderator to fact check a candidate on the spot? If this is what they are here for, why not just hold a press conference and let them all get their digs in. We can call it the Press Presidential Debate, because that is what’s happening with these left leaning moderators. It is not their job to correct the candidates, and even if it was, why then did she not correct Obama on his domestic energy lies?

So it is very obvious that you can’t find a “journalist” that is not skewed liberal so it’s time to do something different. Let CNN use one of their people, FOX news get’s to use Megan Kelly or Bill O’Reilly, and then the last would Chris Berman from ESPN.  Anybody who can deal with Keyshawn Johnson, Mike Ditka, and Chris Carter on the same stage can handle the candidates without coddling one or the other.
