Another half-baked idea to plague Californians. There’s no idea so crazy that you can’t find a government grant to implement it. After all, California voters approved a project to build what’s now a $70 billion bullet train between Bakersfield and Madera — two unremarkable cities situated in the middle of nowhere. Now Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown wants to ... MOREWashington Times: Gov. Moonbeam's 'Hydrogen Highway'

Fast & Furious connects to the Trayvon Martin case. Very soon after his inauguration, Barack Obama decided to move ahead with plans to use the horrific number of deaths in the Mexican drug wars as a pretext for new gun control laws. On March 26, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder proposed a ban on "assault weapons" in order to reduce violence ... MOREPeter Ferrara: The Last Nail In The Keynesian Coffin
The only useful function of Obamanomics. Keynesian economics is the false vision of human action which says the way to promote economic recovery and renewed growth is through increased government spending, deficits and debt. If that sounds nuts, that’s because it is. The idea is that the increased government spending and deficits will increase ... MOREKatie Kieffer: GR8, Obama Is Texting Me

MOREBlake Hurst: And The Regulatory State Drones On
What's truly frightening goes unnoticed. Forget the kerfuffle over EPA drone flights; nobody pays attention to the things that the EPA is doing that are truly frightening. Bovines of Nebraska, take cover; Big Brother is watching! The Environmental Protection Agency has been doing aerial reconnaissance flights looking for cows disrespecting U.S. ... MORESteve Greenhut: California's Food Truck Shakedown
How state officials mistreat mobile food vendors. We would all laugh at a man who, sinking in millions of dollars in house payments, car loans, and credit card bills, decided to fix his problem by looking for spare quarters lurking behind the cushions of his sofas. Likewise, we should shake our heads at the way the state of California—with a budget ... MOREThe Dog-Eat-Dog Welfare State Is Lose-Lose
by Yaron Brook and Don Watkins. John Maynard Keynes—not exactly history’s greatest opponent of government spending—is reported to have said he would be worried if government outlays ever surpassed 25 percent of GDP. Well, in recent years both American and British government expenditures have hovered around 40 percent of GDP. The bulk ... MOREJack Kerwick: Liberty-Lovers And Romney
You cannot help but cast a vote for Romney or Obama. Mitt Romney is the presumptive nominee. And libertarians have a decision to make. If they want to make an informed decision, there are several considerations that they need to bear in mind. First, Romney is neither a conservative nor a libertarian. He is perhaps a neo- ... MORERector/Bradley: Ending Welfare Reform As We Know It
Obama declares war on work. This afternoon, President Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released an official policy directive undermining the welfare reform law of 1996. The new policy guts the federal work requirements that have been the foundation of that law — one of the most successful domestic policy reforms in the 20th ... MOREFederal Red Tape Hampers Battle Against Wildfires
by Stephan Dinan. The fire didn’t care what kind of federal land it was burning, but for sheriff’s deputies hovering over a blaze in northwestern Nevada last week, it made all the difference: If it was Bureau of Land Management property, they could legally drop the water they were carrying, but if it was Forest Service land, they were out of luck. ...
