Brad Tuttle: End Of The Road For Speed Traps?
Low speed limits make roads less safe. Politicians, driver advocacy groups and even the police are trying to outlaw speed traps, not only because they’re annoying, but because when speed limits are too low, roads become more — not less — dangerous. Most drivers understand the need for speed limits. And yet they loathe speed traps ... MORECarl Svanberg: U.S. Should Not Intervene In Syria
It makes no difference to victims what weapon is used. On August 21, Syria crossed the line by allegedly using chemical weapons against its own people. Obama has, therefore, decided that it’s time for the US to punish Syria. Assuming he gets Congress on his side, the US will once more be dragged into another senseless war in the Middle ... MOREThomas Sowell: Serious About Syria?
Campaigning is Obama's strong suit, not governing. Why are we even talking about taking military action in Syria? What is that military action supposed to accomplish? And what is the probability that it will in fact accomplish whatever that unknown goal might be? What is painfully clear from President Obama's actions, inactions and ... MORESteven Greenhut: California's Slippery Gun-Control Slide
Gun-control push more than closing "loopholes." Supporters of the latest spate of gun-control bills that will soon make their way to the governor’s desk insist they only are trying to close “loopholes” and that they won’t deprive Californians of their right to bear arms. But to peer at the future of
gun ownership in California, one might look ... MORE
Teresa Mull: States' Rights Only Apply To Getting High
Feds don't hesitate to interfere everywhere else. The federal government is not known for being consistent, except, of course, when it comes to being inconsistent. Staying true to form, the Obama administration has decided randomly to respect states’ rights for once, saying it will not challenge policies put in place by Washington ... MORESteve Chapman: The Endless Quest For Credibility
Credibility is overrated. The United States boasts the most powerful military on Earth. We have 1.4 million active-duty personnel, thousands of tanks, ships and planes, and 5,000 nuclear warheads. We spend more on defense than the next 13 countries combined. Yet we are told we have to bomb Syria to preserve our credibility in world. Really? ... MORE
EPA Deploys SWAT To Check For Clean Water Violation
by Sean Doogan. When agents with the Alaska Environmental Crimes Task Force surged out of the wilderness around the remote community of Chicken wearing body armor and jackets emblazoned with POLICE in big, bold letters, local placer miners didn’t quite know what to think. Did it really take eight armed men and a squad-size ... MOREWatch What Happens When The Camera Is Turned On Cops
Little brothers may be watching. With the exponential growth of an incredibly intrusive surveillance
state threatening to virtually destroy the Bill of Rights and the
privacy of millions of Americans, the possibility of repealing or
severely scaling back a federalized Big Brother in the United States
seems remote. The technology at the ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: War, War, What Is It Good For?
All about the bragging rights. President Obama's request for express congressional authorization for a limited aerial invasion of Syria raises profound legal and constitutional questions. For starters, there is simply no legal basis in international law to support an American invasion of Syria. Yet, notwithstanding that, federal law permits ... MOREJohn Stossel: The Milk Of Human Blindness
Milking buyers and sellers. The Denver Post warns, "Milk, food prices could rise if Congress fails to act." Congress is working on a farm bill, which, among other things, will set limits on how high or low milk prices can be in different regions of the country. Politicians from both parties like to meddle in agriculture. When the Heritage ... MORE
