Gene Healy: Rand Paul Vs The "Forever War"
Challenging modern conservative orthodoxy. The cruelest thing about politics is that it occasionally gets your hopes up. Sometimes, just when you've almost concluded that the best D.C. has to offer is ringside seats at the latest legislative catastrophe, you get an unexpected outbreak of political courage and common ...

Ralph Benko: DHS To Aquire 1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo
Just what is the Obama regime up to? The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, to far too little notice. It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. As elsewhere reported, ... MOREDHS To Purchase Almost 3,000 Tanks For Use In America
This is getting a little creepy. According to one estimate, since last year the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm. DHS also purchased 2,717 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAP). Modern Survival Blog reported: The Department of Homeland Security (through ... MOREJohn Harvey: Trusting Your Own Government (Or Not)
The masters who pose as servants. Earlier this month, Geraldo Rivera asked a caller: "How could you not trust your own government?" Putting aside big and little episodes of untrustworthy government in the history of this country like the Trail of Tears, the internment of Americans of Japanese descent, Kent State, Waco, ... MOREAaron Klein: Homeland Security Is Hoarding Ammo
Scarcity created for everyone else. Will the U.S. soon face a critical situation in which the federal government– primarily the Department of Homeland Security – possesses an ammunition surplus while local and state authorities face ammunition shortages and backlogs in purchasing more rounds? Current trends could find the federal government with a ... MOREVeronique de Rugy: Get States Off The Federal Dole
Stop the growth of government. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy and the havoc it wrought on New
York, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said
they would ask the federal government to cover at least 90
percent—and perhaps all—of the cleanup and recovery costs. New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) asked the same for the Garden State. ... MORE
Government Unable To Define 'Homeland Security'
David Kravets on government's blank check for tyranny. What is “homeland security?” The federal bureaucracy doesn’t know,
and that’s problematic for a government that has been fighting the
ill-defined “war on terror” following 9/11, according to a new report
from the Congressional Research Service. In short, “homeland security” is whatever the ... MORE
Top 10 Most Dangerous U.S. Government Agencies
The danger within. We have chosen to highlight United States agencies; however, this top 10 list has global impact, as the U.S. has now proven to be the enforcement division of the overarching globalist agenda of centralized control. One could argue that every government agency serves the purpose of stifling freedom and wasting ... MOREEd Morrissey: Probable Cause No Longer Required
Government free to rifle through records at will. Remember when government needed something called a warrant or even probable cause to look at your records? Good times, good times.
I’m nostalgic for the halcyon days of, er, February of this year,
before the Attorney General of the United States signed off on an order
allowing the ... MOREGene Healy: Homeland Security Grants Subsidize Dystopia
The war on terror has come home. "Do I think al Qaeda is going to target Pumpkin Fest? No, but are there fringe groups that want to make a statement? Yes." That's the police chief of Keene, N.H. (pop. 23,000), justifying his decision to buy a BearCat armored personnel carrier with a federal Department of Homeland Security grant. After all, you ... MOREKatie Kieffer: True Drone Lies
Superheroes often live double lives. But so do super-villains. For
four years, the Obama administration has been living a double-life
regarding drones. Publicly, the president and his leadership tell us they are using
drones to protect our borders and promote national security. The
administration dismisses challenges to its drone policies as ... MORE
Doug Doan: Homeland Security - What Next?
What we should do next. So far, none of the presidential candidates have mentioned much about Homeland Security. With so many other problems, issues surrounding how best to organize, manage and lead the vast DHS bureaucracy are just not that important. Too bad. I would have liked to see the candidates talk about what they might do. Here is an agenda ... MORERick Dewsburry: U.S. Government Is Spying On Everyone
Details released by Wikileaks. Anyone who takes a photograph at high-risk locations is logged as a suspected terrorist on a vast network of secret spy cameras linked to the U.S. Government, according to leaked emails. People pointing cameras in New York are regarded as suspicious and the facial recognition images of them from the civilian CCTV are ... MOREHomeland Security Sees 'Liberty Lovers' As Terrorists
by Paul Joseph Watson. A new study funded by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists. Entitled Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970-2008 (PDF), the study was ... MORE
