John Rowe photoNLPC has piled pixels in reporting the crony capitalism and gaming of government regulations by Duke Energy CEO James Rogers, who has favored a political engagement approach to the conduct of business rather than the delivery of services to consumers at affordable prices. That’s how the electricity business works: when you have monopoly control and are guaranteed a profit by your regulators, then you don’t have to worry about besting your competition to earn your customers.

Gingrich Must Repudiate Sharpton

Sharpton Gingrich photoToday we are asking Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich to repudiate Al Sharpton. Gingrich appeared around the country in late 2009 as part of something called the Education Equality Project. At that time, we asked Gingrich to sever ties with Sharpton, only to be ignored.

Now that Gingrich has gone from private citizen to candidate, he must be made accountable for his associations. As Dr. Carl Horowitz of our staff has documented in our 2009 Special Report titled Mainstreaming Demagoguery: Al Sharpton's Rise to Respectability, Sharpton has promoted fake hate crimes against blacks, and has inspired racial antagonism against whites and Jews.

Sharpton/GingrichIt is time for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to end his association with Al Sharpton. The two have been appearing together around the country as part of something called the Education Equality Project.

As Dr. Carl Horowitz of our staff has documented in a Special Report released earlier this year, Sharpton has promoted fake hate crimes against blacks, and has inspired racial antagonism against whites and Jews. Indeed, this long-established pattern of behavior continues to the present.

Gingrich Skewers UAW Role in Federal Auto Industry Bailout

Newt GingrichAt least one major American political figure is calling the recent Obama administration-engineered bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler the political payback to the United Auto Workers (UAW) that they really are. In the cover article for the June 15 issue of the conservative weekly Human Events, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., termed the bailout a "scandal," similar in behavior to the Teapot Dome scandal of the Harding administration but far larger in scope. Gingrich lays out the case for why "saving" the automobile industry, with $50 billion in taxpayer-backed loans ($30 billion of it yet to come) for GM alone, constitutes an unconstitutional tax on bondholders and taxpayers.
