UGLY UNION BATTLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA



Volvo has announced it will build it first manufacturing facility in North America in South Carolina because of its firm right-to-work status.  The plant will employ up to 2,000 workers and turn out 100,000 cars per year, according to a FOX NEWS report.  United Auto Workers President Dennis Williams has said his union will take its organizing message straight to the workers at the plant, slated to open near Charleston in 2018.  State officials have vowed to make the union “unwelcome.” 

COMMENTS:
That’s just what the country needs… another major battle over jobs. I guess the UAW would prefer that Volvo keep those 2,000 jobs in Sweden. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. The word floating around is that the Supreme Court might rule in favor of allowing the illegal and skewed health insurance subsidy program because, should they rule against it, millions of people would be left without insurance.  I thought their only job was to apply the law and that it was Congress’ job to do the legislation?  (Trudy ~ Saratoga, CA)
A. You’re correct, of course, but all courts have to some degree crossed the line and done some legislating from the bench.  I cite the great example of the Robert’s court ruling that ObamaCare is a tax in order to get around the fact that it is an unconstitutional intervention into private rights.  This latest supposition is being spread, I suspect, not by the Court, but by Obama himself, because he doesn’t want the Court to shut his wonderful program down. 

Q. David Axelrod says that Obama said to him that he (Obama) is the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in the White House.  Where do these antipathetic liars get the guts to say such things?  (Lucy ~ Bellingham, WA)
A. I actually think Obama was not heard correctly; surely he said, “I am the closest thing to a Judas that has ever sat in the White House.” 

Q. Now I hear that the FBI is actually flying small planes over cities with eavesdropping equipment and cameras so they can keep track of us?  (Milo ~ Kellogg, ID)
A. And they’re probably using drones.  And don’t forget those innocent-looking video cameras at every street corner.  They’re probably using peepholes in restrooms, too.  How else do you expect Obama to keep track of his growing legions of enemies?
