News - What's Better?

1. Michigan has passed a bill giving the individual the choice of whether he wants to belong to a union or not. No longer will individuals be forced to join a union in Michigan or pay a yearly fine. This represents more freedom for the individual worker in Michigan. Yes, pay in right-to- work states is about ten percent less than union states, but employment in right-to-work states is ten percent higher. More jobs at less pay. Plus, employers prefer non-union states so more jobs will go there.
2. Susan Rice has withdrawn from being considered for the office of Secretary of State. Ms. Rice has shown marked ineptness in dealing with various African nations. She is also the spokeswoman for the administration involved in lying about who attacked the consulate in Benghazi, Libya and why. Why did Susan Rice, a mere ambassador to the corrupt and hostile United Nations make that announcement and not Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, when the State Department supervises our consulates and embassies? Because Hillary Clinton knew the administration was lying - it had seen the attack in real time, thanks to a drone- and she did not want to be tagged with lying when she hopes to be the next president of the United States. Lying does make a difference. Obama received less votes in every state but Hawaii and Mississippi this time, and in those two states, he had less than a one percent increase in votes. Why did the Obama administration lie about Benghazi? Because it was corrupt in three ways: First, it had not provided adequate protection to the consulate in the first place. The ambassador knew it and was writing about it in his diary.Secondly, when the consulate was under attack, the Obama administration did nothing except tell a general who wanted to send in Seals and other military personnel stat to stand down. Thirdly, Obama did not want his lie that terrorism is too weak now to worry about to fly into his face on the eve of the presidential elections. So the attackers were just demonstrators who got carried away, not terrorists. It was September 11, folks. What do you think they would be? How Obama insults your intelligence, Obama-lovers, and you don't even realize it. Now we have Hillary making Benghazi-like excuses for not testifying before Congress about the Benghazi massacre of our ambassador, a computer expert, and two heroic Seals (that's redundant because all Seals are heroic just to become Seals). For two days, the excuse is she's sick to her stomach and after that, lo and behold, we find out she's suffered a fall and has a concussion. The same pattern of loopy statements cost Susan Rice the Secretary of State position. Hillary had better be careful about playing loose with the public too, if she is doing that. On the other hand, she and I are the same age, and I just took a severe fall that bruised my ribs. And I work out a lot more than Hillary does. So she could have fallen. But just tell the truth the first time! To sum up, havilng Susan Rice out of the run for Secretary of State is better, much better, than having her in. Pete Nickerson
