When You're Popular, You Don't Need Freedom Of Speech
by Andrew Sirios. The rise of the left, the demise of the west. Free speech is not something that people would normally see as a
realm of economics, but in many ways, an economic understanding of the
support and opposition to free speech can shed a lot of light on what’s
happening now in the West. The first thing that needs to be noted
is that ... MOREAs If There Are Not Enough Crooks In Government, Obama To Sign Executive Order Forcing The State To Hire More
by Ben Shapiro. Ever in search of benefits to hand leftist constituencies, Democrats have decided to give goodies to their most natural constituency of all: criminals. According to the Associated Press, President Obama will announce executive orders Monday attempting to prevent screening for prior criminality in government hiring. ... MORECynthia M. Cale: Forensic DNA Evidence Is Not Infallible
Some new techniques have higher probability of error. Earlier this month, the Texas Forensic Science Commission raised concerns about the accuracy of the statistical interpretation of DNA evidence, and it is now checking whether convictions going back more than a decade are safe. Despite how it is often portrayed, in the media and in courts, ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Who's Responsible?
What do we make of Hillary's observation? Hillary Clinton told a mixed audience, "I mean, if we're honest, for a lot of well-meaning, open-minded white people, the sight of a young black man in a hoodie still evokes a twinge of fear". Before we get into the nuts and bolts of that observation, I'd like to ask a question. Would well-meaning, ... MOREHell's Angels Say Canada’s Plans To Legalize Marijuana Will Deal Massive Blow To Their Organized Crime Operations
by Emily Gray Brosious. Canada’s newly elected Liberal government has promised to legalize marijuana “right away,” and that’s not sitting well with thousands of Hells Angels members who say the move would cost the organized crime outfit hundreds of thousands of jobs, as reported by World News Daily. Thousands of members of the organized ... MOREWhy 'Universal Background Checks' Are A Bad Idea
by Jacob Sullum. Ineffective, unjust, and unenforceable. Senate Democrats plan
to ingratiate themselves with voters by introducing a new package of
gun controls. In a letter to fellow Democrats, Sens. Chuck Schumer
(D-N.Y.) and Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) said they hope gun control
advocacy "will be a rallying point for a public that is ... MORESchool Choice Can Help Quell Urban Violence
by Lewis M. Andrews. What is most remarkable about reports of escalating urban violence across America is that politicians and the media remain just as narrowly focused on police tactics in the aftermath of Ferguson and Baltimore. Even as 2015 murder rates for Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City (Missouri), New Orleans, St. Louis, Washington, DC, ... MOREDeath By Goverment In The Name Of Safety - NYPD Kills Innocent Man In Effort To Protect New Yorkers From Guns

On the afternoon of Friday, August 29, 2015, New York City Police set up an illegal gun sale in an effort to stem illegal gun sales. ... MOREDonna Carol Voss: Gun Control Drives Me Crazy
Murderers and weapons will always exist. Gun control drives me crazy. I’m willing to consider any logical
argument, but gun control is so untethered from reality that it makes me
hyperventilate just thinking about it. It is reality that people are killed by guns every day. The reporter and photograhper who were gunned down
on live TV are only ... MOREExplaining Jury Nullification To A Sitting Judge
by Scott Shackford. I spent a day last week immersed in Los Angeles County's immense judicial system downtown after being summoned to jury duty. My experience was not quite as vividly terrible as Matt Welch's in New York,
partly because Los Angeles lets you complete your questionnaire and
orientation videos online well in advance, and thus I was ... MOREPrison Sentences Based On Crimes Not Yet Committed
by Barry-Jester, Casselman and Goldstein. Criminal sentencing has long been based on the present crime and, sometimes, the defendant’s past criminal record. In Pennsylvania, judges could soon consider a new dimension: the future. Pennsylvania is on the verge of becoming one of the first states in the country to base criminal sentences not only on ... MOREThe Making of the American Police State
by Christian Parenti. How did we get here? The numbers are chilling: 2.2 million people behind bars, another 4.7 million on parole or probation. Even small-town cops are armed like soldiers, with a thoroughly militarized southern border. The common leftist explanation for this is “the prison-industrial complex,” suggesting that the buildup is largely ... MOREThe Tyranny Of The Criminal Justice System
by John W. Whitehead. The American nightmare. Justice in America is not all it’s cracked up to be. Just ask Jeffrey Deskovic, who spent 16 years in prison for a rape and murder he did not commit. James Bain spent 35 years in prison for the kidnapping and rape of a
9-year-old boy, but he too was innocent of the crime. He was finally
freed after DNA ... MOREThe State Of Free Speech In America: Panicked Shopper Sees Nazi And Confederate Geer At Flea Market, Calls 911
by Mary Ellen Godin. Not yet a crime. Local police received a complaint when a shopper discovered Nazi and Confederate merchandise at a popular flea market last weekend, according to Chief William Wright.
