The Federal Reserve's last stand? For Americans, financial and economic Armageddon might be close at
hand. The evidence for this conclusion is the concerted effort by the
Federal Reserve and its dependent financial institutions to scare people
away from gold and silver by driving down their prices. When gold prices hit $1,917.50 an ... MOREPaul Craig Roberts: The Assault On Gold
The Federal Reserve's last stand? For Americans, financial and economic Armageddon might be close at
hand. The evidence for this conclusion is the concerted effort by the
Federal Reserve and its dependent financial institutions to scare people
away from gold and silver by driving down their prices. When gold prices hit $1,917.50 an ... MOREWalter E Williams: Black Unemployment
Let's look at the causes. A couple of weeks ago, Black Entertainment Television founder Bob Johnson, speaking at The National Press Club, said the nation "would never tolerate white unemployment at 14 and 15 percent." Black unemployment has been double that of white Americans for more than 50 years. The black youth unemployment rate is more ... MORETravis Holt: The Medical Police State
Who is the real terrorist here? Recently I posted the story
of a Connecticut man who was abducted by the state and thrown into a
psych ward after a doctor found his answering machine greeting to be
"peculiar." Can it get any more evil than that? I'll let you be the judge. In Iowa
a man who complained to his physical therapist about the ... MOREJed Morey: Hang The Jury
The secret that shouldn't be. A single juror has the ability to acquit a defendant in a trial for any reason. Even if the juror believes the defendant is guilty. This is called jury nullification. This is not a loophole. Nor is it illegal. But it’s a secret and it shouldn’t be. With that said, let’s begin. A cursory review of prison statistics illustrates the ... MORE
Steve Chapman: What's Worse Than Horse Slaughter?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. When it comes to government action, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Hold down gasoline prices to help motorists, and you create shortages. Punish landlords to protect tenants, and apartments get harder to find. Invade Iraq to spread freedom, and you get civil war. ... MORESen. Rand Paul: Minimizing Authority Of Judges
The case against mandatory minimums. I, like anyone else, whether a member of Congress or a parent, am concerned with the well-being of our children. We all want to keep our families and our communities safe. We want to see violent predators and criminals put behind bars and punished for the harm they do to others and to. ... MOREWhy I'm Teaching My Son To Break The Law
by J.D. Tuccille. In 1858, hundreds of residents of Oberlin and Wellington, Ohio—many of them students and faculty at Oberlin College—surrounded Wadsworth's Hotel, in Wellington, in which law enforcement officers and slavehunters held a fugitive slave named John Price, under the authority of the Fugitive Slave Act. After a brief standoff, ... MOREWashington Times: Freedom's Just Another Word
In NJ, California and NY, not so much. Freedom means different things to each of us, but in New Jersey,
California and New York, shrinking personal and economic freedom means
shrinking population. In the decade since 2001, New York has lost 9
percent of its population, California 4.5 percent, and New Jersey 5.6
percent. ... MOREDave Kopel: Turning Gun Owners Into Felons
Spouse can't even borrow gun for over 7 days. Public-opinion polls about “universal background checks” for gun sales show widespread support. While President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg talk about “gun sales,” the actual legislation moving through Congress aims to regulate far more than sales. It would turn almost every gun owner into a ... MOREFood Stamp Program Spent Record $80.4B in FY 2012
Nearly $7000 per family of four. During fiscal year 2012, the U.S. government spent a record $80.4 billion on food stamps, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a $2.7 billion increase from FY 2011.
