When Walker was Milwaukee County Executive, he started a thinly-veiled campaign stunt he called "Operation Freedom." "Operation Freedom" was supposed to be a charity fund that Walker used to honor veterans by giving them and their families a free day at the Milwaukee County Zoo. Despite it supposedly being for the veterans, Walker used the opportunity to tell people how great he was. In 2008, a Walker aide noticed that there was money missing from the fund. Walker sent his then Chief of Staff, Tom Nardelli, to the District Attorney's office to file a complaint and ask for an investigation.

Senate Republicans voted down a bill from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that would have provided funds to state and local governments to create 1 million new jobs for nation's struggling young workforce.
Anonymous Hades's insight:
The backstabbing freeloading profiteers in the Senate turned their backs on young Americans once again by voting down another job creation bill. This is another good reason why working and middle class Republican party members should turn their backs on the worthless party leaders that continually turn their backs on them.

CVS has announced it's ending its membership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce following reporting that the powerful trade association was doing the bidding of the tobacco industry by working to thwart global anti-smoking efforts.
Anonymous Hades's insight:
Kudos to the folks at CVS. The company doesn't sell tobacco products, so it stands to reason that they want nothing to do with the backstabbing lobbyists at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Hopefully this move will compel other companies leave the Chamber as well.

U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, a former U.S. trade representative, refuses to review a draft of what would be the country’s largest trade agreement in history if approved. That, he says, is because of the secrecy of the proposal. “It was behind closed doors, and I refused to see it,” said Portman, a Republican from the Cincinnati area who served as former President George W. Bush’s U.S. trade representative from May 2005 to May 2006. The secret document is a draft of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. The document is classified as are most trade proposals because leaders of countries in these deals don’t want details revealed before approval. If approved by Congress, TPP would be the nation’s largest trade agreement and include 11 other countries. A vote on TPP is expected no earlier than December. Though he hasn’t read the TPP proposal, Portman voted June 24 with the majority in a 60-38 vote to approve fast-track authority. Fast track is a key step in the trade process. It allows the president to give such deals to Congress for only yes-or-no votes without the power for the legislative body to amend them. - See more at: http://www.vindy.com/news/2015/aug/03/portman-refuses-to-review-draft-of-tpp-t/#sthash.AeHqbZc4.dpuf
