Ed Krayewski: Time For A Police Offenders Registry
Can we agree police job is a privilege, not a right? This week, the Department of Justice announced
new guidelines against racial profiling. The changes
don't actually change all that much. As regular incidents of
police brutality get more and more mainstream media attention, it's
time for a bold move from the White House. ... MOREThomas Sowell: Racial Quota Punishment
Enabling bad behavior solves nothing. If anyone still has any doubt about the utter cynicism of the Obama administration, a recent agreement between the federal government and the Minneapolis Public Schools should open their eyes. Under the Obama administration, both the Department of Education and the Department of Justice ... MOREMore Federal Agencies Are Using Undercover Operations

prompted the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder two days later. “There’s no doubt ... MOREThomas Sowell: Ebola And Obama
The safety of Americans comes in second.

A travesty of justice personified. Even we were shocked when we researched our new book, “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department,” at the extent to which Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. has politicized the Justice Department

ahead of the fair and impartial ... MOREWalter E Williams: Do Statistical Disparities Mean Injustice?

Despite its agreement to settle a lawsuit filed by the National ... MOREWhite House: Marijuana Is An Issue Of ‘States’ Rights
By Mike DeBonis. Obama administration gets something right. In its bid to fend off congressional interference with a pending marijuana decriminalization law, the District might have prompted President Obama to make an interesting declaration.
