Defense should not mean offense. Some things you just have to do, in spite of great uncertainty. Launching missiles at Syria isn't one of them. Many pundits talk about going to war as if all we have to do is make up our minds about what "ought" to happen — who the bad guys are — and the rest is just details. If we decide we must punish a tyrant, ... MOREJohn Stossel: Road To Damascus

Glib words and weak actions. I cannot see why even a single American, a single Israeli or a single
Syrian civilian should be killed as a result of a token U.S. military
action, undertaken simply to spare Barack Obama the embarrassment of
doing nothing, after his ill-advised public ultimatum to the Syrian
government to not use chemical ... MOREPete Yost: Congress Looks At Justice's Marijuana Decision
A big government vs individual liberty tug-of-war. The Obama administration is facing criticism over its attempt to

that permit recreational use of the drug. In the first congressional hearing since the administration announced a
new, permissive enforcement ... MOREMarijuana Legalization Plans Perculating In 10 States

Walter E Williams: You Don't Have To Stay Poor
Come early, stay late. No one can blame you if you start out in life poor, because how you start is not your fault. If you stay poor, you're to blame because it is your fault. Nowhere has this been made clearer than in Dennis Kimbro's new book, "The Wealth Choice: Success Secrets of Black Millionaires." Kimbro, a business professor at Clark ... MOREEU Scheming To Install Speed-Limiting Devices On Cars

“road safety,” all ... MOREObamaCare Regulations Consist Of 10,516 Pages

March 2010, when President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and its companion Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA), the administration has published
in the Federal Register 109 final regulations governing how Obamacare
will be implemented. ... MORE

Forfeited assets are typically used to fund crime-fighting programs. Unfortunately, forfeiture laws are often abused by the ... MOREThe Reasons To Doubt The Feds Respect For Pot Laws
by Jacob Sullum. Last week, nearly 10 months after voters in Colorado and Washington decided to legalize marijuana, the U.S. Justice Department finally responded. Its announcement, which took the form of a memo to U.S. attorneys from Deputy Attorney General James Cole, promised neither acceptance nor confrontation, saying only ...

The best economic news in decades.
