| As some of you may have already heard, the state of North Dakota is currently experiencing a politically incorrect and politically inconvenient economic boom in the midst of Obama´s national economic program of stagnation. Thanks to the discovery of oil and a government´s willingness to get out of the way so industrious, risk-taking individuals can go after it, North Dakota is now a working, breathing, real-life repudiation of everything Obama and his media worshipers stand for. This of course makes news outlets like the New York Times uncomfortable.

Comments: Oil. The one basic that literally fueled our economic growth and power and the shills at the dying NY Times wants to stop it. Well, you need oil to make make the pen and the ink that it uses to write. And, oil for the composites for the computers to digitally write their screed. What idiots.

My next-door neighbor told me about the oil fields in N. Dakota. He pulled up stakes to go and hasn´t been back. I guess he´s doing just fine. He couldn´t make any money here in job-poor California.

Yes, and how many crimes against women occur in NYC? If it is news, so be it. Maybe it is Breitbart spinning the article.

Yep, this is their new angle in the war on fracking. Since SCIENCE! has shown that fracking actually reduces our "carbon footprint", they have to take another tack. Apparently, fracking not only brings jobs, it brings ... *gasp* ... men.
Some commenters I´ve seen have pointed out that there´s a deep bench for employees in these jobs and the companies have the ability to be intolerant of truly damaging shenanigans outside of work. So if the NYT is talking about anything more aggressive than men showing interest in women (I know, shocking!), then the company can easily remove said perpetrators.

Why doesn´t the NYT send its girly-men and manly-women to Saudi Arabia and vicinity to report on how women are treated in this oil producing region? Surely there must be some enlightened islamist practices we yokels need to be educated about by the superior intellectual wussies of the NYT?

I work up there and can say that the NYT article is pure BS. While it´s true that there are not many women, I have never witnesses any sort of harassment.

Corb Lund has a good video on YouTube called, ´´The Toughest Neck Around,´´ which seems appropriate to recommend here.Lund is a new favorite Canadian musician of ours, along with Ian Tyson´s western music. Both are from Alberta.

This is like the screaming about murder rate in the United States with all the guns. Yet, if you compare the murder rate with guns to the Caucasian race only. It is the same as Belgium.
It is the same as food stamp and welfare statements, "more white people on food stamps and welfare than African American or Latinos.”
Yes, but not mentioned in this little saying it Blacks make up only about 13% and Latinos only 15%.

Why is this woman in Williston if it is such a terrible place? Because, that´s where the money is and she, like the men who go there to work, wants a chance to make some money.
And she is in the bar because she, like them, wants a little action.

Some tattooed chick drinking shots at a bar... Who woule EVER think she´d take them up on their offer. Self-mutilating yourself with tattoos and being offended by a $7000 offer somehow doesn´t seem to fit.

The real "sexist nightmare" is in the fact that these are tough jobs in harsh conditions unsuited for most women. Hard physical work, cold climate, difficult living conditions, etc. Perhaps these "advances" were made by visiting NYT´s ´reporters´ and they were upset at getting rebuffed.

North Dakota is normally, or formerly, fly-over country.
But some lady feminist had to hop off her broom there... park it... and then manage to get her failure to wear a bra caught in a wringer. Bet that made a fwapping sound!
Now the rest of us have to pay for it... by being subjected to the NYT´s diatribe.
Just pink lace panties in a wad. To be ignored.

Washington - When the State Department fields the first of 350 additional Marine security guards at high-risk embassies and consulates around the world later this year, the price tag will be steep: about $1.6 million per Marine. Why so much? It turns out that about $525 million of the $553 million that Congress approved this year to deploy more Marine guards — fulfilling a recommendation of the independent review panel that investigated the attacks last year on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya — is going toward building new command-and-control hubs

For millions of gay and lesbian employees, much has changed since 1999, when no states recognized gay marriage, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” effectively barred people who were openly gay from serving in the military, Matthew Shepard’s murderer was convicted — and Exxon Mobil shareholders were first asked to protect gay and lesbian employees from discrimination. One thing hasn’t: Exxon Mobil’s implacable opposition to adding sexual orientation to its official equal employment opportunity statement. The issue will be on the agenda at Exxon Mobil’s annual shareholder meeting next week for the 14th

Terrorism analysts are rebutting President Obama’s assertion that the “scale of the threat” from Islamic terrorists has reverted to pre-Sept. 11, 2001, levels. “This is a total fabrication,” said Steven Emerson, whose Investigative Project on Terrorism tracks radical Islam. “The ‘scale of this threat’ in the 1990s never closely resembled the terrorist attacks post 9/11. This is an outright lie.” The Heritage Foundation has been cataloguing foiled terror attacks post-9/11 by Islamic groups. The number: 54. James Carafano, a military analyst at Heritage, said the 1990s’ numbers “were a fraction of

Brownsville, Texas - A former Texas prosecutor and one-time candidate for Congress was convicted Friday of accepting bribes in exchange for court favors, including an $80,000 payment in a scheme that allowed a convicted murder to escape. Jurors convicted former Cameron County District Attorney Armanda Villalobos on racketeering, bribery and extortion charges. They acquitted him on two extortion charges. Villalobos is the highest-profile target to stand trial in an FBI investigation into legal corruption in Cameron County. The former prosecutor was accused of taking more

Phoenix - A federal judge ruled on Friday that Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies had violated the constitutional rights of Latinos by targeting them during raids and traffic stops here and throughout Maricopa County. With his ruling, Judge G. Murray Snow of United States District Court delivered the most decisive defeat so far to Sheriff Arpaio, who has come to symbolize Arizona’s strict approach to immigration enforcement by making it the leading mission for many of the 800 deputies under his command at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. At 142 pages, the decision is peppered with stinging

President Obama’s speech on Thursday was the most important statement on counterterrorism policy since the 2001 attacks, a momentous turning point in post-9/11 America. For the first time, a president stated clearly and unequivocally that the state of perpetual warfare that began nearly 12 years ago is unsustainable for a democracy and must come to an end in the not-too-distant future. “Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue,” Mr. Obama said in the speech at the National Defense University. “But this war, like all wars, must end. That’s what history advises.

Madrid - On May 1, 2021 Baltasar Garzón’s suspension from the bench for authorizing illegal wiretaps in the Gürtel corruption investigation will expire. The crusading magistrate will be 65. “On that day I will return to take up my post as a judge,” says Garzón from Bogota, from where is to travel to Argentina this weekend. Since his disqualification, Garzón has been a nomad, with seven jobs in six countries, including serving as director of the International Center for the Promotion of Human Rights in Argentina; a University of Washington post; and advisor to the Colombia Attorney

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
