Mary Keefe, Model for Rockwell’s ‘Rosie the Riveter,’ Dies at 92
Mrs. Keefe never wielded a rivet gun before the 1990s, but her image encouraged women to pinch-hit in military plants in World War II.

Middle class incomes drop as immigration surges
Congress: Middle class incomes drop as immigration surges
Wages of America’s middle class have dropped below 1970s levels as immigration has surged 325 percent, according to a new congressional report that questions claims that native Americans are economically helped by greater immigration.The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service report studied immigration and middle class income from 1945-2013 and found that as immigration slowed between 1945 and 1970, American incomes increased. But when immigration expanded, the incomes of the bottom 90 percent of Americans went flat and then dropped beginning in 2000.
There are no clean hands in Washington on this matter. For Democrats, immigrants are new voters (never mind that non-citizens aren’t supposed to vote) and new members of the Free Sh*t Army that keeps them in office. For Republicans, immigrants are cheap labor for business donors (never mind that most businesses aren’t particularly loyal with their political contributions). With more people chasing roughly the same amount of jobs, it’s pretty much inevitable that the value of an hour’s work would take a hit.
“Did I do that?”
Quoting Jonah Goldberg:
Today, both the Pentagon and the White House (in the form of Josh Earnest) went out of their way to make sure everyone knows Obama didn’t personally or specifically sign off on the drone attacks that tragically killed two hostages, including an American.
This is curious. First of all, he’s still responsible, as he himself said in his press conference. He set up and approved a system that lets these attacks happen. There’s something cowardly about honorably taking “full responsibility” in public, and then having your flacks go out and stage whisper “It really wasn’t him.”
Perhaps he might consider borrowing this from the Truman library, and try living by it:
Isn’t there a regulation against this?
I’m just an Air Force brat (with three years of AFJROTC and one year of AFROTC under my belt), but I suspect that red high heels aren’t authorized for wear with uniforms even for women, let alone for men. Do commanders get to just make up changes of this sort on-the-fly? That’s also doubtful. How, then, was this allowed to happen?
See, this is the kind of thing that sinks Army morale
Yesterday, we discussed a couple dozen things that bad leadership does to produce morale lower than a boil on a bushmaster’s belly. The kind of morale that the Army has right now.
But that was before we saw the latest in imbecilic social-engineering from these losers who couldn’t lead feces down a drainpipe to a septic tank. We are not making this up:
Mandatory high-heel march.
How long before the social engineers running the joint manage to reduce the military to this? (C’mon…you knew this was coming.)
