Victor Davis Hanson: Can California Be Saved?
So naturally rich but so poorly run. Crime is back up in California. Los Angeles reported a 20.6 percent
increase in violent crimes over the first half of 2015 and nearly an 11
percent increase in property crimes.
Last year, cash-strapped California taxpayers voted for Proposition 47,
which so far has let thousands of convicted criminals go free ... MORE
John Stossel: The Cult of Victims
People benefit by playing the victim. The world has enough real problems without declaring everyone a "victim." Bill Clinton says Hillary is a victim of a right-wing conspiracy. Lindsay Lohan, when jailed for driving drunk and breaking parole, says she's a victim of cruel and unusual punishment. Michael Sam says his NFL career would have gone ... MOREIndiana School Fingerprints Students For Lunch Program
by Kyle Olson. A new method of tracking the sheep. The grumbling in New Albany cafeterias isn’t coming from students’ stomachs. It’s from parents. The southern Indiana school district is one of the latest to deploy technology which “biometric identification to match a finger scan with a personal identification number,” WAVE reports. According to a ... MORELloyd Marcus: Why Liberals Are Dangerous
The emotion over reason advocates. The Left (liberal mainstream media) practically had a ticker tape parade for Ohio Gov. John Kasich for answers he gave on two issues during the GOP debate. Liberals' praise of Kasich shows they have chosen emotion over logical, reasoned thinking. This makes liberals irresponsible and dangerous. These people ... MOREF.J. Rocca: Eric Hoffer's Wisdom
He loved America's fundamental unit, the individual. May 21st marked the 32nd anniversary of the death of American philosophic icon, Eric Hoffer.

Eric Hoffer was a self-educated, deeply sentient observer of not only the American civilization but of mankind in ... MOREHow 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 ... MOREWhy 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 ... MORE40 Percent Of Americans On Food Stamps Are Obese
by Chuck Ross. A new study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) finds that
Americans receiving food stamps are more likely to be overweight and
obese than those who do not receive assistance. The USDA analyzed data
from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for
the years between 2007 and 2010 and found that ... MORERand Paul: You Can't Have Open Borders & A Welfare State
by Kelly Cohen. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has his priority list ready to go as he runs for president, and border security and immigration reform are definitely on it. "I think something has to be done. If you aren't for doing any kind of immigration reform, you're for another 10 (million) or 11 million people coming in unaccounted for," the Republican said ... MOREThomas Sowell: Race, Politics and Lies
Behavior matters and so do facts. Among the many painful ironies in the current racial turmoil is that communities scattered across the country were disrupted by riots and looting because of the demonstrable lie that Michael Brown was shot in the back by a white policeman in Missouri — but there was not nearly as much turmoil created by ...
