Trump Movement Is Backlash Against Political Correctness
by Robby Soave. Stephen Baldwin—the actor, outspoken conservative, and brother of Alec Baldwin—supports Donald Trump for president, and his main reason is this: Trump is against political correctness. "The first policy of his that I favor is this guy is gonna take a stand when it comes to the BS of the PC—the political correctness," said Baldwin in an interview ... MOREPanama Papers About Gov't Corruption, Not 'Tax Evasion'
by Ed Krayewski. The "Panama Papers" are the largest leak in world history, revealing millions of documents related to the offshore accounts of politicians, former politicians, and billionaires around the world. Despite much of the media's focus on tax evasion as the primary theme of the Panama Papers story, which embarrassed governments are ... MORELancet Commission Recommends Drug Legalization
by Jacob Sullum. The last time the U.N. General Assembly held a "special session" (UNGASS) on drug policy, it was organized under the slogan "A Drug-Free World...We Can Do It." Pino Arlacchi, then executive director of the U.N. Drug Control Program, insisted "there is no reason" the world's supply of cocaine and heroin "cannot be eliminated in ... MORE
Two BIG Reasons NOT To Keep Your Cash In The Bank
by Mark Nestmann. Don't lose your life savings. It’s bad enough depositing your money into a bank account and earning essentially zero interest on it, or in some countries, having a negative interest rate. It’s even worse knowing that once you deposit your money in a bank, it’s not really yours anymore. You have turned over your property to ... MORE
California’s Carl’s Jr. Says So Long, Golden State
They know when they are not wanted. States: To hear Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, you’d think that taxes can go up to 60% or even 80%, and businesses and investors will just … pay up. But the growing number of businesses stampeding out of high tax areas suggest that they’re very wrong. We got more evidence of that this week when CKE ... MOREIt’s Actually Easy To Force People To Be Evil
by Annalee Newitz. We've known for a long time that people will do terrible things under orders—like hurt strangers. But why are we so easily persuaded to do things we wouldn't otherwise choose, even when nobody is holding guns to our heads? A new scientific experiment sheds light on this ancient ethical question. University College London neuroscientist ... MOREWhat Unmarried Women Want: Big Government?
by Elizabeth Nolan Brown. For most of American history, married women have far outnumbered their single counterparts. But this all changed in 2009, when the proportion of unmarried U.S. women first climbed above 50 percent. And in 2016, unmarried women will—for the first time—make up a majority of the potential female ... MOREPowerball's Biggest Winner: Government
by Michelle Malkin. Government's tax on stupidity. Ka-ching! Wednesday's Powerball jackpot soared to $1.5 billion as get-rich-quick mania seized America this week. But you don't need to wait for the drawing to know who'll score the royal payoff. The biggest winner of the multistate numbers game is — drumroll, please — Uncle Sam. ... MOREMulticulturalism Trumps Protecting Women From Rape
by Dennis Prager. Since the scores of New Year's Eve sexual attacks on German women by hundreds of men identified as Arab or North African, the left in Germany has faced a dilemma: which to fight for first -- women's human rights or multiculturalism? This was the same dilemma that faced British authorities between 1997 and 2013. During those ... MORETextbook Publisher Representative Fired After Admitting On Camera That Common Core Is All About The Money
by Joe Cunningham. See the video. Project Veritas has a new video out, this time with undercover journalists asking educators and education company executives about whether or not Common Core State Standards and the curricula built around them are really for the kids. The answer from just about everyone is “No,” with one person admitting ... MOREMike Reid: The Hitchhiker’s Guide To Charity
Economic principles can save your life. His gaze flicked over my backpack. “You have to put that in the back,” he said. “I don’t know if you have a knife in there.” If I knew then what I know now, I would never have gotten into that blue Pontiac. By that time, I’d hitchhiked thousands of miles with hundreds of different drivers, and they were almost ... MOREWalter Block: Why You Should Want Blackmail To Be Legal
Blackmail would diminish real crime. At first glance it is not hard to answer the question, "Is blackmail really illegitimate?" The only problem it would seem to pose is, "Why is it being asked at all?" Do not blackmailers, well, blackmail people? And what could be worse? Blackmailers prey on people's dark, hidden secrets. They ... MOREHome Ownership Not The American Dream For Millennials
Has the American Dream become unattainable? Or has it just changed? Ask your parents what the American Dream meant to them growing up and you’ll probably find it differs from the ideals of millennials today. In fact, according to the Fusion 2016 Issues Poll, only 16 percent of people ages 18 to 35 believe the American Dream is still “very ... MOREPaul Bonneau: Why Renters Are Screwed
The forces are lined up against them. Every now and then my wife and I get the itch to go into property
rental. For example, we look at real estate listings on the Oregon
Coast. A duplex would be nice, because we could take one unit for
ourselves, and rent the other out. The renter could help watch our place
while we were not around, and we ... MORE
French Make U.S. Look Like WWII France
by Barry Farber. Our schools laid great stress on sportsmanship and fair play. It’s possible I took those lessons to a ridiculous extreme. When I was still in short pants and speaking soprano I was a bit of a World War II prodigy. There was actually a time you could have given me a huge map of the world and any date from the beginning of the war to the ... MOREThomas Sowell: Moral Hazard
Incentives matter. One of the things that makes it tough to figure out how much has to be charged for insurance is that people behave differently when they are insured from the way they behave when they are not insured. In other words, if one person out of 10,000 has his car set on fire, and it costs an average of $10,000 to restore the car to its ... MORE
