Walter E Williams: Black People Duped

The liberal vision of a stacked deck not necessary.     People in the media and academia are mostly leftists hellbent on growing government and controlling our lives.

Carlos Miller: Cops Shoot And Kill Man With Hands Up

What a citizen's cell phone camera revealed.         An Arizona deputy shot and killed a man claiming he was reaching for a gun, but a cell phone video shows the man had raised his hands in the air.

Harvard Study Reveal Gun Control Counterproductive

The counterintuitive truth: more guns means less murder. Once again, a study from an organization that you would never accuse of being “gun-loving” or “right-wing” seems to disprove the myth that the availability of handguns increases murder rates.  In fact, it doesn’t. The Harvard study attempts to answer the question of whether or   ... MORE

Jacob Sullum: Why Zimmerman Should Be Acquitted

Emotion should not obscure the evidence.     On a rainy night in February 2012 at a gated townhouse complex in Sanford, Florida, George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin stared at each other, and both perceived a threat.

Mike Riggs: Three Drug War Programs Your Taxes Pay For

Torture, murder and terror. When's the last time you heard someone argue that we need to raise taxes to fund torture? Or to pay for violent paramilitary raids on peaceful U.S. citizens? Or to incentivize extrajudicial killings carried out by our own government, yes, but also by a neighboring country? Probably never. As every good citizen knows, taxes are   ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Guns Save Lives

An inconvenient truth for the left.   We all know that guns can cost lives because the media repeat this message endlessly, as if we could not figure it out for ourselves.

The White House Won't Say.        Sen.
