“Amazon joins Walmart in push for online sales tax”

Awesome! The bipartisan lobbying effort has yielded fruit this year in the “Marketplace Fairness Act.” Under this bill, if you buy something online, you pay a sales tax. Retailers, meanwhile, will have to collect sales taxes for every state where they have customers, even if the retailer has no physical presence there.

“195,000 Fewer Americans Had Jobs in July; 150,000 Dropped Out of Labor Force”

Three months ago, CBS 5 caught Solyndra tossing millions of dollars worth of brand new glass tubes used to make solar panels. Now the bankrupt solar firm, once touted as a symbol

Stunning: “ICE Agents: Obama Won’t Let Us Arrest Illegals”

And if you do it anyway — that is, if you do your job? Well, then, goodbye to you: A veteran Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent is facing suspension after he refused to release an illegal immigrant who was not considered a priority target under the Obama Administration’s new immigration enforcement policies, according to documents provided exclusively to Fox News. […] “They’re punishing law enforcement officers who are just trying
