David French: Let’s Not Mince Words About PayPal
The PC bankers. PayPal has announced that it will not open a new operations center in Charlotte, North Carolina, because of the state’s new “bathroom law” — a law that sensibly requires people to use public, multi-occupancy bathrooms that correspond with their biological sex. PayPal thinks this is horrible. To put it bluntly, PayPal’s “corporate ... MOREKenric Ward: EPA Putting Red Light on Amateur Car Racing
Because they can. A "power grab" by the Environmental Protection Agency threatens to crash America's amateur car-racing industry without putting so much as a dent in climate change, warns the chairman of the House Space, Science and Technology Committee. The EPA's move to regulate emissions on non-road racing vehicles contradicted ... MORELefty Protesters Drive People Into Arms Of Donald Trump
by Robby Soave. Trump's useful idiots. Donald Trump's supporters aren't fazed by his decision to cancel an appearance at a Chicago rally over the weekend—in fact, they are more likely to vote for him to be the Republican nominee because of it. That's according to a new poll of likely Republican voters conducted by Monmouth University. ... MOREDaniel Gelernter: Liberals Want Your Car Keys
Can computerized cars drive better than we can? The cover story of Time’s March 7 issue makes “the increasingly compelling case for why you shouldn’t be allowed to drive,” claiming that computerized cars are (or, it is hoped, will be) safer drivers than humans, and so the logical thing is to ban humans from driving altogether. The plan is ... MOREDisconnect Between Public Comments & Private Thoughts
by Jay Jamison. Trump is like jury nullification. Once a criminal case is handed to the jury, the outcome is no longer under the control of the authorities and professionals who conducted the trial. Jury nullification is a term that describes a verdict that runs counter to the law, the evidence or even the instructions of the presiding judge. During a trial, ... MORERebecca Perring: Did Germany Just Ban Sausages? Pork Banned In Cafes And Schools To 'Not Offend Refugees'
Muslims 1 Bratwurst 0. An increasing number of public canteens, child daycare centres and schools have stopped serving sausages, bacon and ham over religious considerations.

MORERobby Soave: PC Hysteria Claims Another Professor
Students demand an end to academic freedom. The movement to purge all offensive speech from American college campuses has claimed another scalp. Andrea Quenette, an assistant communications professor, was chased out of her own classroom—not because she was a bad teacher, but because her students said she wasn’t agreeing with them ... MORETom Nichols: How the P.C. Police Propelled Donald Trump
By assailing sensible conservatives as sexists, racists ... The American left created Donald Trump. When I say “the left,” I do not mean the Democratic Party—or,
solely the Democratic Party. Rather, the pestilence that is the Trump
campaign is the result of a conglomeration of political, academic,
media, and cultural elites who for decades ... MOREVictor Davis Hanson: Obama - The Lamest Duck
He has neither the power to act or inspire. President Obama is boxed in a state of paralysis—more so than typical lame-duck presidents. His
hard-left politics have insidiously eroded the Democratic Party, which
has lost both houses of Congress and the vast majority of the state
legislatures, state elected offices, and governorships. ... MOREGeorge Will: Donald Trump Relishes Wrecking The GOP
With friends like this, who needs Democrats? Lyndon Johnson simply was exasperated. Barack Obama's mischief was methodical. Four days before the 1966 congressional elections, Johnson, asked about criticism from Richard Nixon, testily responded: "I do not want to get into a debate .?.?. with a chronic campaigner like Mr. Nixon." ... MOREBad News: Millennials Prefer Socialism Over Capitalism
by Katie Pavlich. America's largest generation. When socialist Bernie Sanders beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in a
landslide Tuesday in New Hampshire, he crushed her among young voters by
a whopping 83 percent. Sander's message of "income inequality" (Hillary has one too, but her Wall Street ties and personal wealth make it transparent) ... MOREWalter E Williams: Clinton And Sanders And Progressivism
The same Constitutional contempt as their predecessors. Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders seek to claim the "progressive" mantle. Both claim the other is not a true progressive. Clinton teased Sanders as being the "self-proclaimed gatekeeper for progressivism." Bernie Sanders said that Hillary ... MOREThomas Sowell: Toxic Words
The assumption of lies. During this election year, we are destined to hear many words that are toxic in the way they misrepresent reality and substitute fantasies that can win votes. One of these words is "entitlement." To hear some politicians tell it, we are all entitled to all sorts of things, ranging from "affordable housing" to "a living ... MORECruz Makes Play for Libertarian Voters. Is Anybody Game?
by David Boaz. As he moved from evangelical Iowa to fiscally conservative New
Hampshire, Sen. Ted Cruz didn't waste a minute in changing his tune. In his Iowa victory speech Cruz gave a shout-out to libertarians, who are thick on the ground in New Hampshire. He declared, "That old Reagan coalition is coming back together, ... ... MORELawsuit Challenges Obama’s Move To Restrict Gun Sales
by Natalie Johnson. More abuse of executive action. A conservative lawyer and activist has filed the first federal court challenge to President Barack Obama’s executive actions to restrict firearm ownership, arguing that the president’s moves violate the Constitution. Larry Klayman, a former U.S. Justice Department lawyer who heads the ... MOREChoking On Zero Tolerance: Little Girl Suspended For 30 Days Because She Lent Her Inhaler To A Gasping Classmate
by Robby Soave. No good deed goes unpunished. Schrade Middle School in Garland, Texas, suspended a 12-year-old girl for several days—and has placed her in alternative schooling for the next month—because she lent her inhaler to a classmate who was having difficulty breathing. According to Fox 4 News,
Indiyah Rush was in gym ... MOREAmericans Are Abandoning Political Parties
by Kenneth Walsh. Both major political parties are in trouble with the American people. The latest Gallup Poll finds that loyalty to the Democrats and Republicans
is at or near historic lows. In 2015, for the fifth straight year, "at
least four in 10 U.S. adults identified as political independents," a
Gallup spokesman said. Forty-two percent said they were ... MORE
