A war on self-sufficiency. Collecting rainwater is classically seen as a safe and sustainable way of supplying your household with an off-the-grid water supply. Some people collect rainwater only for a backup reservoir, while others prefer to go all the way and maintain their household with pure off-the-grid rainwater collection. This method ensures ... MOREAlexandra Petri: In Defense Of Free Speech
A civil society does not require thought police. I think it’s a great mistake to write off what is happening on campus

Also known as the option destroyers. After a terrorist attack, it's natural to ask: What can politicians do to keep us safe? One thing they could do is actually focus on keeping us safe rather than devoting so much time, energy and hot air to the many things government does instead of protecting lives and property. My state's politicians are ... MORENet Neutrality Could Crush Political Websites
by Rudy Takala. For Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who's leading the charge to stop "net neutrality" regulations, the possibility that political content on the web, like the Drudge Report or Fox News, could be regulated is a major motivation.

Enough with the 'defenseless victim zones.'

MOREThe Free Market: It’s Like Uber, But For Everything
by Robert Tracinski.

And it’s the ... MOREDr. Michael Hurd: Wage Theft
What a racket. Hillary Clinton promises to jail employers who engage in “wage theft.” Wage theft. What could possibly justify that? It sounds like

their hard earned property. Should people guilty of “wage theft” be
immediately jailed? Of course! I did a little research on the ... MOREThomas Sowell: The 'Affordable Housing' Fraud
Housing is unaffordable BECAUSE of politicians. Nowhere has there been so much hand-wringing over a lack of "affordable housing," as among politicians and others in coastal California. And nobody has done more to make housing unaffordable than those same politicians and their supporters. A recent survey showed that the average monthly ... MOREWalter E Williams: Unnecessary Loss Of Life
Politically correct rules of engagement. War is nasty, brutal and costly.

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
