A doctor undertakes to study the issue. Over the last year, I have been working on a new documentary called "Weed." The title "Weed" may sound cavalier, but the content is not. I traveled around the world to interview medical leaders, experts, growers and patients. I spoke candidly to them, asking tough questions. What I found was stunning. ...

Jefferson Paine: The Deception Of Minimum Wage Laws
An effective tool for political manipulation. Government does not create wealth -- it merely taxes and consumes it. It may create 'government jobs' but it cannot create real wealth.

Ken Allard: Generous Second Coat Of Benghazi Whitewash
More White House tactical air support from CNN. CNN spent an hour of prime time Tuesday night to air a special anchored by Erin Burnett,
“The Truth about Benghazi.” They claimed to have learned two vital
lessons from their supposedly extensive investigation of that tragedy:
It must never happen again, and politics trumped ... MOREDomestic Spying Is Dangerous To Freedom
by Andrew Napolitano. How is it that the government can charge Edward Snowden with espionage for telling a journalist that the feds have been spying on all Americans and many of our allies, but the NSA itself, in a public relations campaign intended to win support for its lawlessness, can reveal secrets and do so with impunity? That question goes ... MOREJacob Sullum: You Phone Is A Pocket Rat

The Surveillance Reforms Supported By Candidate Obama
by Kara Brandeisky. When the House of Representatives recently considered an amendment that would have dismantled the NSA’s bulk
phone records collection program, the White House swiftly condemned the measure. But only five years ago, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. was part of a group of legislators

Buying votes from Congress with stolen money. America has a two-party system. But it’s not Republicans versus Democrats. It’s the ruling class — Republicans and Democrats — against everyone else.

Robert Zubrin: Give Snowden Immunity

The suggestion may strike many of my fellow national-security conservatives as outrageous. Snowden certainly violated the law and may have committed treason. But the ... MORE
John Stossel: Climate Change Myths
#1. Government is competent to fix the problem. Global average temperature has been flat for a decade. But frightening myths about global warming continue. We're told there are more hurricanes now. We're told that
hurricanes are stronger. But the National Hurricane Center says it
isn't so. Meteorologist Maria Molina told me it's not ... MOREU.S. Debt Obligations Reach $70 Trillion
by Wynton Hall. A new study by University of California-San Diego economics professor James Hamilton finds that the United States has over $70 trillion in off-balance sheet liabilities--an amount nearly six times the on-balance-sheet debt figure. The Treasury debt outstanding is $16.74 trillion. Of that, $4.84 trillion is money the U.S. owes itself. ... MOREThomas Sowell: Busybody Politics
Politics doesn't solve old problems, it creates new ones. It is hard to read a newspaper, or watch a television newscast, without encountering someone who has come up with a new "solution" to society's "problems."
