US Senate Cook: ‘I Want An Executive Order’ For Higher Wages

By Fox News Radio, Apr. 23, 2015

Friday on “The Alan Colmes Show,” Alan spoke with Bertrand Olotara, a cook in the US Senate Cafeteria, who went on a one day strike to raise awareness about the low wages he and his co-workers are earning. He also penned an op-ed recently about what he goes through each day as a single father making $12 an hour.

Olotara told Alan about how he doesn’t want to be on food stamps because he is a taxpayer as well, why he hopes that President Obama (or the next President in 2016) will sign an executive order making the minimum wage $15 an hour, and what he hoped the strike accomplished.

Obama's Executive Action Rollouts Increasing In Pace

By Gregory Korte, Apr. 22, 2015, USA Today

WASHINGTON — As President Obama stood in an Everglades swamp to speak on climate change Wednesday, the White House rolled out a package of eight executive actions, implemented by seven government agencies, to "protect the people and places that climate change puts at risk."

The announcement contained no executive orders, sweeping directives, legislative proposals or bill signings.

Instead, the actions include smaller-bore staples of a "pen-and-phone" strategy that shows no sign of letting up: a report on the value of parks to the environment, a proclamation declaring National Parks Week, and conservation efforts in Florida, Hawaii, Puget Sound and the Great Lakes.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the actions were an effort to deal with the impacts of climate change "even in the face of pretty significant opposition from Republicans in Congress."

President Obama on Thursday signed an executive order directing the federal government to cut its overall greenhouse-gas emissions by 40 percent over the next decade.

In a speech at the Department of Energy, the president said the initiative demonstrates the U.S. federal government will “lead by example” in the international fight against climate change.

“We’re proving it is possible to grow our economy robustly while at the same time doing the right thing for the environment and tackling climate change in a serious way,” Mr. Obama said.

Obama To Ban Bullets By Executive Action, Threatens Top-Selling AR-15 Rifle

By Paul Bedard, Feb. 26, 2015, 

It’s starting.

As promised, President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation, targeting the top-selling rifle in the country, the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and target shooters.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela’s, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president.

Wednesday night, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, stepped in with a critical letter to the bureau demanding it explain the surprise and abrupt bullet ban. The letter is shown below.

Obama's Executive Order Could Spark Business Growth 

By Elisabeth McBride, Feb. 4, 2015, Crainsnewyork.com

Small-business lending platform Biz2Credit turns away hundreds of loan applications a year from entrepreneurs in New York and other states who lack legal immigration status, says President Ramit Arora. Without it, they aren't eligible for bank financing and assistance from the Small Business Administration.

That could change under President Barack Obama's executive order on immigration, depending on how the measure is implemented and the effects of pushback by the new Republican Congress.

As it stands, New York City potentially could see a surge of hundreds or thousands of new small businesses run by owners with legal status, according to experts. Many entrepreneurial immigrants who are already operating businesses—from food carts to cleaning services to home-based tech startups—would be able to formalize their companies or expand.
