House GOP's 'War of the Roses, By David M. Drucker| March 4, 2015

House Republicans, who seemed so happy together when they started the session in January, now appear to be trapped in a bad marriage filled with distrust, miscommunication and mutual accusations. With the very public defeat for conservative House Republicans who wanted to defund President Obama's executive actions on immigration, the family dysfunction has boiled over into a public scene — and many Republicans say they're fed up with uncompromising insurgents for disrupting the party's unity…… Acknowledging the breakdown within the caucus, Speaker John Boehner of Ohio Tuesday told House Republicans during a private meeting that he "and your entire leadership team are going to redouble our efforts to listen and find our way forward together," according to a source in the room. But it doesn't appear that Boehner's team or anyone else in the GOP conference has any idea how to fix things.…….. Insurgent conservatives were furious, accusing Boehner of selling them out after vowing to fight Obama's executive order "tooth and nail." Even pragmatic Republicans disgusted with Tea Party tactics concede that there is simply no trust between House GOP leadership and the party's insurgent wing. "He just caved," Rep.

Volkswagen punishes worker for opposing union, By Matt Patterson and Margaret Mire - Eric Wilson is a maintenance specialist at Volkswagen in Chattanooga. He is also a veteran. Wilson served in the U.S. Army's 2nd Cavalry from 1978 to 1980 in Germany, running border operations along the Iron Curtain. Wilson, like thousands of Americans, volunteered to protect not only American democracy, but also the fragile democracy of West Germany at a time when Soviet tanks and ballistic missiles were aimed right at his head.
