Rand Paul Says No More Tax Dollars To Planned Parenthood
by Robert Herriman. After the release of the chilling and quite gruesome Center for Medical Progress video earlier this week (see full video and transcript below) , which exposed Planned Parenthood’s ghoulish side gig from their already abhorrent abortion numbers of selling fetal organs and tissue, many in the Congress reacted negatively to it. ...

Ira Stoll: Hillary's Move To Buy The Youth Vote
Dangerous student loan rhetoric. Hillary Clinton’s big campaign rally over the weekend offered a hint of how she’s going to handle a trillion-dollar question—what to do about demands by Senator Elizabeth Warren and the remnants of the “Occupy” movement for forgiveness of student loan debt. “I believe that success isn’t measured by how ...

Walter E Williams: Culture and Social Pathology
"Greatest generation" failed to transmit moral values. A civilized society's first line of defense is not the law, police and courts but customs, traditions, rules of etiquette and moral values. These behavioral norms — mostly transmitted by example, word of mouth and religious teachings — represent a body of wisdom distilled over the ages ... MORE

How L.A.’s New Minimum Wage Could Hurt the Poor
by Monica Potts. A liberal argues that higher wages will just negate government subsidies. This week, the Los Angeles City Council voted to increase its minimum wage to $15 an hour, from the current $9, by 2020, joining the ranks of other liberal cities like Seattle and San Francisco who are acting despite federal inaction on the issue. But L.A. is the ... MORE
Why Kids Who Aren’t Poor Now Get Free School Lunches
by Valerie Strauss. Spreading the realm of dependency. It used to be that students from families with low incomes qualified
for lunches that were either free or available at a reduced price.
That’s still true — but now, new federal rules allow kids who aren’t
poor at many schools to get the same thing. The change in the
rules means not only that ... MORE
Meet Chuck Schumer, The Next Senate Minority Leader
by Nick Gillespie. A partial listing of some of things that the NY political hack has tried to ban. It's long been said that the most dangerous place in Washington is between Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and a TV camera. With news of the resignation of the historically awful Sen. Harry
Reid (D-Nev.), the odds are good that Schumer will now ascend ... MORE
Sports Stadiums Throw Taxpayers For A Loss
by Steve Chapman. It's a play fake that never fails. Since 1995, Los Angeles has been an anomaly: a huge city with lots of sports fans that has exactly as much professional football as Billings, Montana. This week, Angelenos got a bit of good news: They still aren't getting an NFL franchise. A corporation called AEG announced Monday that it ... MORE

Obama's Gift: ‘Amnesty Bonuses’ in Tax Code Mean Illegal Immigrants Will The Receive Earned Income Tax Credit
by Daniel Halper. President Barack Obama has promoted his recent executive action on immigration by arguing that he’s only deferring action – holding off on enforcement of the current immigration laws until an immigration reform he approves of passes Congress. But that's not really true; in fact there’s a way for illegal immigrants immediately to ... MORE

Obama's Student Loan Debt Bailout Will Cost $22 Billion
by Robby Soave. Another swindle for taxpayers. President Obama's student loan debt forgiveness policies will add a whopping $21.8 billion to the national debt, according to figures in the latest budget proposal. And thanks to the magic of government accounting, the shortfall is automatic—Congress can't really do anything about it. With students and ... MORE
