President William McKinley and Donald Trump are two different types of Republican, indeed, men.

I been reading Karl Rove's book," The Triumph of Will McKinley" and come across a situation  that shows how difference between Trump and McKinley,who unlike Trump was man of honor. Trump has declared bankruptcy 4 times hurting many people. McKinley when was Governor of Ohio co-sign a friends loan.The friend Robert Walker use the signature to get many loans from banks, he declare bankruptcy,henceforth, McKinley was on hook for $100,000 quite sum in 1880's. McKinley promise to pay all the creditors off, he said he would leave politics go back to law to earn the money. It would bankrupted him. McKinley friends started a trust fund to pay off the bad loans and it was paid off, many donations were small maybe five dollars from somebody served with him in Antietam.
And when McKinley conformed Walker according to Rove's book on page 98" When the Major (McKinley) saw, walker,bedridden and crying in anguish, McKinley comforted him, saying " Have courage, Robert have courage! Everything will come out all right."

Nixon was right when he said the Vietnam was our (U.S.A) Boer War

Richard Nixon was right when spoke ( I think it was at Oxford) saying Vietnam was our (U.S.A) Boer War.
Some say the Boer War was the beginning of end of rule Britannic. For the Boer War and Vietnam was P.R nightmare,indeed, a the dream glory of nation had cold water to break it up.
The British public thought the War with Boers with be easy but it was anything but and even when look victory for British the Boers went into hills and fight a guerrilla war. In respond British chief of staff Lord Kitchener take a scorch-earth policy that burn farm, put families suspected of collaboration with the Boars in internment camps,including women and children. Inadequate food and sanitation lead to death of many.The British public never quite got over the Boer War and the British the war, but it was pyrrhic victory.
Vietnam proved like with British in the Boar War there are limits to a great power in war and public opinion can turn very quickly against the war, leaving future policy makers with limited options.

The United Steelworkers a ghost of what they use to be.

The other day, I read in the newspaper the United Steelworkers( USW) had come to agreement with Steel companies of America. It went unnoticed, how different it was 1959 when strike by  USW could close the country down. Richard Nixon knew it, and despite being A Republican he medicated a deal that was very much what the Union wanted. For fear a strike in 1960 when running for President, of course, despite Nixon's giving the Union what wanted in the deal, the Union supported JFK for President in 1960.
Many claim the 1959 deal was beginning of end the Steel industry in the U.S.A being the dominate force and in long ran it hurt Union. Has Steel industry decline and so important on the economy wasn't so much the power of Union to cause upheaval in American economy was gone. One proof of that is people knew the name David McDonald and I.W Abel as President of the USW does anyone know name of present President of Union? It's Leo Gerard. It shows the by gone era of heavy industrial.

There was a Rosa Parks before Rosa Parks.

There was a Rosa Parks before Rosa Parks, her name was Elizabeth Jennings,who as faded away in the cobwebs of history.
In different era, public Transition was segregated not only in the South, but even in places like New York City. Elizabeth Jennings would have none of it, Ms Jennings was an African American school teacher, who on Sunday 7/16/1850 going to church hailed the first street car she that come along, the conductor refused to admit her, but Jennings say she right to ride the car. A fight purse much anger in the African American community. The Black Legal Rights Association, took up the cause and hirer the prestige Law Firm of Culver, Parker, who assigned the case to a very inexperience lawyer,named Chester Arthur, who later would become the President of United States.
Well to everyones surprise Arhur won the case on 2/22/1855 and Jennings won $250 in damages.
This case marked the beginning of end of segregation in city's transportion system. Hencforth, we should never forget the brave woman who took on the system and won her fight for civil rights a hundred years before Rosa Parks. 

Exxon and Chevron maybe better position to gut out lowwer oil prices.

Exxon and Chevron maybe better position to gut out lower oil prices then people think. Why? First of all, both Exxon and Chevron have kept both ends of the business( Upstream and Downstream) Conoco Phillips and Marathon oil spin-off there downstream business a big mistake. While big money is to make in upstream operations if price of oil is high Upstream is exporation and production and it is profitable part of oil business, however, low oil prices make actually boost the bottom line for downstream  operations since they are buyers of crude so margins can be higher with lower crude prices, henceforth, more profit so companies like Exxon and Chevron although making less money on upstream will make more drownstream not enough to made the difference with lose in upstream but does help. Also Exxon and Chevron are big petro-chemicals here too a lower crude price would good for the bottom line.

Got a letter to the editor published today (12/3/15) in the Record about Woodrow Wilson's legacy.

Got a letter to the editor published today (12/3/15) in the Record( the largest newspaper in Northern New Jersey) about Woodrow Wilson legacy which has been under attack lately.
This is what appear in the paper:" Monday morning quarterbacking about Woodrow Wilson legacy is ridiculous. Yes, by today's standard, his beliefs were outrageous. But in his day, and for a native Southerner, they were par for the course.
For the record, Wilson also protested against California legislation excluding aliens( it was aimed at the Japanese) from land ownership in 1913.
Also, Wilson in his Fourteen Points wanted to give minorities the right to determine their own fate. His proposals included an opportunity of autonomous development for the people of Austria-Hungary and self-determination for people under Turkish rule.
Wilson legacy still affects the United States though the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act.
Woodrow Wilson was larger than life.
He wasn't a perfect person, but who among us is? "

Drug company stock did well today yet people beat on them for high prices politically you think maybe laws would passed controlling there prices.
Heard Dive Bove on CNBS said the government is benefiting from low interest because banks to make the reserves requirement are buying government bonds instead of making loans to private sector  and this is hurting the economy.Velocity of money isn't happen dollars aren't being down over the FED can give all money away it want but if dollars aren't being turn over cheap money doesn't work.
