Start the week off right. Updates on the key stories. Friday brought ‘good news’ with the latest unemployment numbers. More people are employed, but the media seems to want you to believe the economy is ‘roaring’ back. Is this the ‘Recovery Summer’ we’ve been waiting for. Shocking news from the NOAA; Looks like the United States has actually been cooling for the last ten years, debunking the theory that ‘Global Warming’ has caused forest fires out west and tornados in the midwest over the last decade or so. No matter how much James Hansen and Al Gore scream and yell and pound, the new data is not good for the ‘warmists’. Is there a feud between the Obama’s and the Clinton’s? Some say rumors of such a feud are political “BS”. If so why is the President’s right hand Valerie Jarett being dispatched to court Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren for President in 2016? And in the Twin Cities, the Met Council is so hell bent for leather to build the Southwest Light Rail its ‘mediating’ the conflict between two South Minneapolis neighborhoods of one percenters (and loyal democrats) who don’t want it in their backyard. Will the planned tunnel project drain the signature city lakes? Sponsored by X Government Cars!

Midweek update! The big stories. As we head into the 4th of July Weekend, Obama gets ‘bitchy’. Do Americans really want a petulant President who blames everything on congressional ‘inaction’? What is the intent behind his tantrum in Minneapolis and in the Rose Garden this week? Is he channeling his inner ‘Elizabeth Warren’? Does the President have a sense of humor? It has come to light that the temperature data ‘warmists’ have been quoting are actually based on ‘models’. Not actual temperatures. What do the actual temperature data show? The answer may surprise you. A new disease threatens 30 million people and its not good. Step AWAY from the pastries, beer and hamburgers. Don’t tell First Lady Michelle Obama about this, but ‘binge viewing’ is becoming a problem for the world. The arrival of services like Netflix and Amazon Prime now make it possible to lay on the couch for an entire weekend, watching all the Breaking Bad(s). This is a problem? Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul.

Economy News. The US Economy Contracts 2.9 Per Cent. The ‘economy’ is back at the top of the page as final revised numbers for the 1st quarter indicate a shocking contraction in US GDP. Will the second quarter be better, the same or worse? If you listen to the mainstream media, the White House and the  financial channels, you’d think it’s all because of the polar vortex and the long winter. Is it? Or is it due to reductions in investment, the creation of part time jobs, Obamacare, higher corporate taxes, new tax policy implementation and generally misdirected or confused economic policy by President Obama and the Democrat Congress before 2010? What kind of economic policy does the US need to achieve dynamic and rapid economic growth? How are democrats and republicans off in the weeds, with seemingly no idea how to achieve such growth. What do voters need to do to get things righted in 2014? It’s all here in one little podcast! Sponsored by Baklund R & D.
