We expect politicians to lie, but boxers? Manny Pacquiao faces a potential lawsuit after failing to disclose a shoulder injury before his defeat by Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao will spend up to a year on the sidelines as he prepares to undergo surgery on his torn rotator cuff, an injury he suffered in training. But the Filipino star could also be ... 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

Jaana Woiceshyn: ‘Sensitivity’ Versus Freedom of Speech
Weak minds fear free speech. Recently my MBA business ethics class discussed the case of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo as well as the case of the Danish Mohammed cartoons published in 2006. Somebody also brought up Sony and its movie The Interview. We had just covered the virtue of integrity: loyalty to rational principles. ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: A Worthless Piece Of Paper
No document can defend itself. President George W. Bush was fond of saying that "9/11 changed everything." He used that one-liner often as a purported moral basis to justify the radical restructuring of federal law and the federal assault on personal liberties over which he presided. He cast aside his oath to preserve, protect and defend the ... MORE

Katie Kieffer: We Could Be Heroes, You And Me
"What is the point of my life if I’m a coward?” Twelve Charlie Hebdo staffers who died for free speech and 25 Republicans who voted against U.S. Speaker John Boehner are heroes. We too could be heroes, me and you. “We could be heroes, me and you,” are lyrics from Heroes (We Could Be)—a 2014 number one hit single by Swedish DJ ... MORE

John Stossel: Trust
Just check the ratings. Trust — society depends on it. For most of history, our ancestors lived in clans with other family
members, or in small villages. Everyone pretty much knew who was
trustworthy. People behaved better because they wanted good
relationships with family members and neighbors. It's one reason that
today we trust ... MORE

Rick Moran: In The Past Four Years, More Than 500 Vets Have Died In VA Hospitals Because Of Mistakes Or Delays
A hollow commitment to our nation's warriors. Veterans Affairs records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon reveal the startling fact that more than 500 vets have died in VA hospitals due to mistakes since 2010. Delayed treatment for cancer patients due to a failure to diagnose the disease and a failure to screen properly for suicide are ... MORE

Nick Gillespie: Americans Trust Government Less and Less
Because we know more and more about it. Fifty years ago, FBI operatives sent Martin Luther King, Jr. was has come to be known as the "suicide letter," an anonymous note suggesting the civil rights leader should off himself before his private sex life was made public. The information about King's extramarital assignations was gathered ... MORE

Christopher Chantrill: Trust In Government Is Pathological
Need we run down the evidence? This last weekend the Sunday shows had a “trust in government” theme. Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press" asked Obama advisor Dan Pfeiffer why the government of the email-losing IRS, of no strategy on ISIS, of border mayhem could be trusted on Ebola. On Fox News Sunday Chris Wallace threw a ... MORE
Does Obama Believe He Should Have Gone To Prison?
from Students for Liberty. As President Obama has admitted since long before entering politics, he’s done his fair share of illegal drugs. In his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, he wrote that he’d used marijuana and “maybe a little blow[1].” Despite this, he continues to oversee a federal war against others who’ve done the same. What I have in ... MORE
Did NSA Blackmail Roberts To OK Obamacare?
The real utility of NSA. U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts may have been blackmailed to approve Obamacare after being spied on by the NSA and CIA, says Larry Klayman, the attorney who has come to be known as “the NSA slayer” for his successful legal battles against the National Security Agency. During an appearance Sunday night on Aaron ... MORE

Kyle Becker: The Integrity Of The Liberal Media On Display
As a reporter faces jailtime for protecting sources. Liberal media enjoy giving themselves accolades and awards for outstanding journalism — so long as the story fits the narrative. Fox News’ Jana Winter shouldn’t expect such praise or support. The New York Times and other left-wing outlets are either not reporting or are under- ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: A Truly Great Phony
Obama's greatness finally recognized. Many years ago, I was a member of a committee that was recommending to whom grant money should be awarded. Since I knew one of the applicants, I asked if this meant that I should recuse myself from voting on his application. "No," the chairman said. "I know him too — and he is one of the ... MORE

Liz Sidoti: Mounting Controversies Are All About Trust
Another day, another scandal. As a candidate, Barack Obama vowed to bring a different, better kind of leadership to the dysfunctional capital. He'd make government more efficient, accountable and transparent. He'd rise above the "small-ball" nature of doing business. And he'd work with Republicans to break Washington paralysis. You can trust me, ... MORE
Steve Chapman: Obama Is Not Nixon
Are babies like snakes because some have rattles? "The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know,"
said Harry Truman, who made it his task to absorb a lot of it. Many
people who have not followed his example are not averse to using
what little they do know, with the inadvertent effect of exposing
how much they have to ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: 'Me Too' Republicans
RINOs running in a herd. Many ideas presented as "new" are just rehashes of old ideas that have been tried before — and have failed before. So it is no surprise that the recent "Growth and Opportunity Project" report to the Republican National Committee is a classic example of what previous generations called "Me too" ... MORE

R. Emmett Tyrell Jr.: Rand Paul Comes Of Age
GOP should recognize this force to be reckoned with. When Sen. Rand Paul took to the floor of the United States Senate
the morning of March 6, he really — as they say — may have made a
difference. It is a difference in our awareness of the issues facing the
country. It is a difference in our perception of the man who is leading
the ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Official Lies
Let's expose presidential prevarication. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama warned that Social Security checks will be delayed if Congress fails to increase the government's borrowing authority by raising the debt ceiling. However, there's an issue with this warning. According to the 2012 Social Security trustees report, assets in Social Security's ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Dishonest Educators
Test-taking frauds. Nearly two years ago, U.S. News & World Report came out with a story titled "Educators Implicated in Atlanta Cheating Scandal." It reported that "for 10 years, hundreds of Atlanta public school teachers and principals changed answers on state tests in one of the largest cheating scandals in U.S. history." More than three-quarters of the ... MORE
