Feeling The Bern: Campaign Workers Demand $15 Hourly Pay Sanders Wants ‘Everyone’ To Have
by Shifra on July 19, 2019These campaign workers are really not being fair.

Bernie Sanders’ campaign staffers claim they’re really getting berned — by not being paid the $15-an-hour minimum wage the democratic socialist advocates for all workers. The unionized employees — known as the bottom-rung “field organizers” — say they work a minimum of 60 hours of a week, which drops their average hourly pay to less than $13, according to a new report by the Washington Post. “Many field staffers are barely managing to survive financially, which is severely impacting our...

Hillary Spent Twice As Much As Trump for Her Losing Campaign
by Tammy on December 11, 2016Typical liberal~~ spend money like it’s water for a losing, horrible end result. They think they’re so clever, and that you, well, that you are dumb enough to be bought. They were wrong. Trump, on the other hand, spent less with a better result, trusting in the citizens and accordingly in great part, new media. That’s called leadership.

White House Silent On Where the Zika Money Went
by Tammy on June 5, 2016Really, let’s just admit it: Our government is being run by grifters. Via Washington Examiner.

But administration officials have been unable to answer how much of that money is left. The White House, the Centers for Disease Control and the Office of Management and Budget were all unable to provide an exact number or even an estimate, despite repeated requests. Not...
