WOW!!! Frankly, the American Federation of Teachers is way ahead of the National Education Association in terms of organizing in Utah.

Plus, AFSCME has permitted its school workers locals in the state to affiliate with AFT Utah, which forms a pretty powerful coalition.

The long-forgotten terror-dynamiting campaign in Cleveland from 1907 to 1912.

The International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers (IW) was formed in 1896. The union remained weak and much of the industry remained unorganized until 1902.

Executive Orders must be derived from existing federal statutes or the President's constitutional authority.

Since neither exists in this case, Trump's E.O. means no more than the dribble on his chin while he sleeps.

It's win after win after win for China under the Trump administration. Trump seems to think that so long as money is made, he can sell out America.

Well, Thune did give the Dems a vote on Obamacare. And it failed, just as everyone knew it would.

I hope the New England-Nevada Mafia is happy.

Love some of this old sci fi art. It's about as scientific as voodoo, but aesthetically it's wonderful.

The massive Pickands Mather & Co. iron ore docks in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1902.

They existed along the south shore of the Old Channel of the Cuyahoga River. That's along what is now River Rd., between Division Ave. and Mulberry St. (Orange on the modern map.)
