SF’s LAST GUN SHOP To Close Over City’s New Regs

by Jessica Chasmar.   San Francisco’s last gun shop has been a defiant fixture against the liberal city’s suffocating arms policies for more than 60 years, but a new set of regulations is forcing the owners to finally throw in the towel. The proposed new regulations would require High Bridge Arms in San Francisco’s Mission District to videotape all transactions  ... MORE

VIDEO: A Banned Segment From Saturday Night Live



The 1998 Robert Smigel animated short film "Conspiracy Theory Rock", part of a March 1998 "TV Funhouse" segment, has been removed from all subsequent airings of the Saturday Night Live episode where it originally appeared. NBC claimed the edit (critical of their parent company) was done because it "wasn't funny". NBC is owned by General Electric/Westinghouse.

Thomas Sowell: The Left Has Its Pope

The Pope is unwittingly calling for more poverty.  Pope Francis has created political controversy, both inside and outside the Catholic Church, by blaming capitalism for many of the problems of the poor. We can no doubt expect more of the same during his visit to the United States. Pope Francis is part of a larger trend of the rise of the political  ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Liberal Reasoning - Idiotic or Dishonest?

A very convenience understanding at minimum.    Many people argue that liberals, socialists and progressives do not understand basic economics. I am not totally convinced about that. Take the law of demand, for example, one of the fundamental principles of economics. It holds that the lower the cost of something the more people will  ... MORE

Obama Chooses Openly Gay Man To Lead The Army

by Greg Jaffe.      Political correctness has covered a lot of ground in 4 years. President Obama, in a historic first for the Pentagon, has chosen to nominate Eric Fanning to lead the Army, a move that would make him the first openly gay civilian secretary of one of the military services. Fanning, 47, has been a specialist on national security issues for more    ... MORE

Political Correctness At Colleges Is A Real Problem

by Ana Kasparian.     Obama gets it right. During a recent town hall in Iowa, President Obama addressed the issue of political correctness on college campuses. He specifically called out liberal students who have protested or banned conservative speakers at commencement ceremonies. “I’ve heard some college campuses where they     ... MORE

Tweaking The Propaganda: Obama Administration To Deploy "Behavioral Science" To Pimp Gov't Programs

by Charlie Spiering.       A new executive order from President Obama directs all government agencies to use psychological science and data to help connect more Americans to government programs. The order instructs government agencies to use “behavioral science”— a tactic used by Obama’s political campaigns to harness data from their         ... MORE

Dennis Chamberland: The Tyranny Of Consensus

Half science is no science.    Never mind that climate change is the single most complex scientific question of human history. Human nature has managed to morph politics and science together into a repulsive, philosophic monstrosity -- half science and half religion -- specifically designed to reduce multifaceted, chaos-based theory and its   ...

Black, Gay Reporter Murders Straight, White Journalists — Media Blame The Gun

by Ben Shapiro.     On Wednesday, America met a deeply evil human being: Vester Lee Flanagan II, also known as reporter Bryce Williams. Williams murdered two people while they were live on air on WDBJ in Virginia: reporter Alison Parker, and cameraman Adam Ward. After the murders, he went on the run – and while he was on the run,   ... MORE

Tammy Bruce: The Real War On Women

It must be admitted. There is a war on women.  The Democrats have been screaming about this for years, and they should know. Because the war is their war on women all across the socioeconomic spectrum. Under President Obama, more women are unemployed, fewer women have started new businesses, we lost our health insurance, our doctors ... MORE

Political Correctness Makes College Students Mentally Ill

by Daniel Greenfield.      The biggest emotional bully wins. First, complaints of emotional distress are way up. Nearly all of the campus mental-health directors surveyed in 2013 by the American College Counseling Association reported that the number of students with severe psychological problems was rising at their schools. The rate of   ... MORE

Cecil Was One Of Us. No, Wait, He Was Just A Lion

by Harry Goslin. The irrational, overly-emotional and childlike reaction to the killing of a lion in Africa is another example of why Americans will be forever in the dark about what’s important in the world and what’s not. It’s these kinds of silly, irrelevant stories that especially gets the lip-quivering left up in arms and unfortunately dominates the    ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: The Fact-Free Left: Part II

Intentions trump results, every time.     There is no way to know what is going on in someone else's mind. But sometimes their behavior tells you more than their words. The political left's great claim to authenticity and honor is that what they advocate is for the benefit of the less fortunate. But how could we test that? T.S. Eliot once said,    ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: The Fact-Free Left

Somebody wants poverty and dependence.    The outrage over another multiple murder of American military personnel on American soil by another Islamic extremist has been exacerbated by the fact that these military people had been ordered to be unarmed — and therefore sitting ducks. Millions of American civilians have also been forbidden   ... MORE

Milo Yiannopoulos: In Defense Of Ayn Rand

The monster under the progressive bed.   Liberals are constantly begging for more female authors and female lead characters in literature, but one woman author and philosopher remains stubbornly absent from progressive reading lists. Her name is Ayn Rand, and she is responsible for a theory called objectivism, which holds that reality exists     ... MORE

Liberal Dream: 11-yo Girls Can Now Get Birth Control Devices Implanted In Them Without Parents Knowing

by Matt Agorist.  Between 1991 and 2013, the teen birth rate declined by 57% nationwide. Over this period, teen pregnancy has declined in all 50 states and among all racial/ethnic groups. Washington State is ranked 13 in the country for teen pregnancies with 20.5 births per 1,000 girls ages 15-19. That is a much better rate than Arkansas, which is more     ... MORE
