Californians Can Now Be Fined For Long Showers!
by Leslie Eastman. Jerry Brown sells out to agricultural interests. I reported that California Governor Jerry Brown unveiled the state’s first water restrictions in response to the “mega-drought”. As I foresaw, the rules have turned out to be more about revenue generation than resource protection. What I did not predict is that my teen son and his ... MORE

Jacob Sullum: Walter Scott Shooting Highlights Cops’ Contempt For The Citizen's Right to Record Police
Harassing camera-carrying bystanders needs to stop. Even before it became clear that Feidin Santana was witnessing what local authorities now describe as a murder, it took guts for him to record the police encounter that ended in Walter Scott's death. Santana, who was walking to work at a barbershop in North Charleston, South ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: Can The President Kill Americans?
Can the president kill you? The short answer is: Yes, but not legally. Yet, President Obama has established a secret process that involves officials from the Departments of Justice and Defense, the CIA, and the White House senior staff whereby candidates are proposed for execution, and the collective wisdom of the officials then recommends ...

John Stossel - Freedom To And From Religion
Government more powerful than God. Religious oppression was one reason many of our ancestors came to America. They wanted to escape rulers who demanded that everyone worship their way. In Ireland, Catholics couldn't vote or own a gun. I assumed that because many of America's founders came here to escape such repression, they ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Reality May Be Optional
Let's pretend instead. One of the wonders of modern times is that reality is often seen as a social construct and therefore optional. Thus, if one finds a particular reality offensive or inconvenient, he just "changes" it. Say that one is born a male or a female but believes that nature made an error. Some believe that nature's "error" can be corrected by ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: The New Inquisition
How long will this country remain free? Probably only as long as the American people value their freedom enough to defend it. But how many people today can stop looking at their electronic devices long enough to even think about such things? Meanwhile, attempts to shut down people whose free speech interferes with other people's political ... MORE

Hillary: Resistance To Gun Control 'Terrorizes' The Nation
Not a fan of gun rights. If Hillary Clinton ever gets around
to telling voters her positions on controversial issues, it is not
clear what she will say about gun control. Over the years, her stance
has ranged from support for gun licensing and registration to an
NRA-esque desire
to "enforce the laws that we have on the books." Still, her disregard
for armed self- ... MORE
Brian Doherty: Rand Paul Vs The Libertarians
Is libertarian-ish good enough? James Hohmann at Politico last week quotes me and some other people publicly associated with libertarianism
to discuss where Rand Paul the presidential candidate stands in
libertarian terms. His central thesis is that Paul is, in his own
self-framing, declaring himself at best (in libertarian terms) merely ... MORE

Rand Paul and Ted Cruz: Separated at Birth? Uh, No.
by J.D. Tuccille. Job one for Sen. Rand Paul in his new role as Republican presidential
aspirant is to somehow distinguish himself from ideological doppelganger
Sen. Ted Cruz and kneecap his rival for the GOP nod. Or so say some
media outlets that may be driven as much by an appreciation for good
political bloodsport as by a touch of ... MORE
