Motivating Youth To Watch Presidential Debates
by Katie Kieffer. Hit the gym; grab dinner with friends; build a bonfire. These are three evening activities I prefer to watching presidential debates—and I am a political commentator. Few young people watch presidential debates and I understand why. After Wednesday’s initial presidential debate, I realized that Republicans are failing to exploit the debates and ... MORE
Cops Claim That Face-Chewer Was On Bath Salts A Lie
Another drug warrior scapegoats marijuana as the culprit. Lab tests detected only marijuana in the system of a Florida man shot while chewing on another man's face, the medical examiner said Wednesday, ruling out other street drugs including the components typically found in the stimulants known as "bath salts."

Permit me to be brave and run a few assertions by you just to see whether we're on the same page. There should be two standards for civilized conduct: one for whites, ... MORE
Russ Vaughn: Fast & Furious Was Gun Control To Die For
Operation Vast & Obvious grows ominous. When Operation Fast & Furious first broke into the news, many of us immediately questioned the DoJ's irrational rationale. The proffered assertion that the program was designed to track firearms purchased in America to leaders of the Mexican drug cartels simply made no sense. The glaringly obvious flaw in the ... MORE

Barry Farber: Breitbart's Death Just A Coincidence?
How far-fetched are Breitbart conspiracy rumors? First, let’s nail down the difference between a conspiracy theorist and a broad-minded person.

Robert Stacy McCain: The Breitbart Experience
His powerful voice for individual liberty will be missed. Last Friday, at 10:30 p.m., Andrew Breitbart sent me a two-word text message: "Where y'at?" We were both in Troy, Michigan, that night. He was scheduled to speak at the next day's Americans for Prosperity forum. I was in town to cover the Republican presidential primary campaign. Knowing he would be ... MORE

Why Ron Paul's Surge Is Making Them Nervous
by Jacob Horneberger. While big government statists in both the Republican and Democrat parties remain mystified over Ron Paul's surge in the polls in Iowa, the ones who seem most confounded by this phenomenon are members of the mainstream media, who themselves are statist to the core. They just can't figure out how it's possible that increasing numbers of ... MORE
