Standing up to relentless federal tyranny. In a stunning display of patriotism and courage, the state of Virginia is attempting to nullify parts of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), specifically the parts that include giving the federal government the power to arrest suspects on simply the suspicion of being a terrorist and indefinitely detaining suspects ... MOREWashington Times: D.C.'s Made-Up Gun Laws
Guns, lies and government. D.C. officials will do just about anything to keep law-abiding citizens from lawfully possessing a gun in the city. The Washington Times’ Emily Miller has found in the “Emily Gets Her Gun” series that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has been spreading false information about firearms ownership. As a result, residents ... MORECharles Krauthammer: Seaweed In Your Gas Tank
An energy policy based on fantasy, not reality. Yes, of course, presidents have no direct control over gas prices. But the American people know something about this president and his disdain for oil. The “fuel of the past,” he contemptuously calls it. To the American worker who doesn’t commute by government motorcade and is getting fleeced every ...

MOREGene Epstein: Our Cheap Debt Will Come Back To Haunt Us
Fed policy certain to fuel inflation. You may have heard by now of the Federal Reserve's "dual mandate." Not content to merely protect us against the ravages of price inflation (mandate No. 1), our fearless Fed is equally committed to fostering "maximum employment" (No. 2). And right now, with the unemployment rate still at 8.3%—far too high to meet anyone's ... MOREJohn Stossel: Complex Societies Need Simple Laws
End the rule-making orgy. “If you have 10,000 regulations,” Winston Churchill said, “you destroy all respect for law.” He was right. But Churchill never imagined a government that would add 10,000 year after year. That’s what we have in America. We have 160,000 pages of rules from the feds alone. States and localities have probably doubled that. We have so many ... MOREJohn Merline: The Myth Of Scare Oil In The U.S.
We have 60 times more than Obama claims. When he was running for the Oval Office four years ago amid $4-a-gallon gasoline prices, then-Sen. Barack Obama dismissed the idea of expanded oil production as a way to relieve the pain at the pump. "Even if you opened up every square inch of our land and our coasts to drilling," he said.
