DeBlasio is driving out city's source of wealth. Money — it’s the root of all evil. Behind every great fortune lies a great crime. Or at least an unfair advantage. That’s the gist of the liberals’ creed and justification for their war on wealth. The other half of their view holds that the poor are innocent victims of life’s rigged game. Their ...

MOREToni Clarke: E-Cig Industry Braces For Regulatory Attack

In November and December, ... MOREWalter E Williams: Black People Duped
The liberal vision of a stacked deck not necessary. People in the media and academia are mostly leftists hellbent on growing government and controlling our lives. Black people, their politicians and civil rights organizations have become unwitting accomplices. The leftist pretense of concern for the well-being of black people confers ... MORELawrence M. Ludlow: TSA = Thousands Of Sexual Assailants
The degradation of travel. Ever since the blowback retaliation of 9/11,
the government has subjected people trapped in the United States with a
constant stream of propaganda, war-making tax-theft, police-state
spying, and outright physical and sexual molestation at airports.
Although oodles of self-deceived parrots (my apologies to that noble bird ... MORE
The Ham Sandwich Standard
Civil liberties and the Supreme Court. When the state accuses you of a crime and seizes your assets before trial,
thus preventing you from hiring the counsel of your choice, what
recourse do you have? That question is at the heart of Kaley v United States, a case the United States Supreme Court issued its decision on this week. The answer, ... MOREFederal Fly Swatters: Pit Bulls vs. Poodles
by Edward Cline. Why have the feds bought 1.5 billion rounds of ammo? And outfitted local law enforcement agencies with warfighting gear? Is it to combat Islamic terrorism? Or you?

MORETSA Reportedly Demands To Inspect Luggage For Bitcoin

search of his belongings. “We saw Bitcoin in your bag and need to check,” ... MORESteven Greenhut: Will Six Californias Be Better Than One?
Many feel unrepresented by the state legislature. When most people think of secession, they
think of the type of disturbing events unfolding
in the Ukraine. But efforts to break up political boundaries
could be coming to California, albeit in a laid-back and peaceful
manner, as Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim
Draper ... MOREAlaska Could Become Third State To Legalize Marijuana

Feds make staying warm 25 percent more expensive. The Environmental Protection Agency wants to place new regulations on wood-burning stoves and fireplaces replacing the current guidelines which were adopted in 1988. The EPA claims their new regulations would reduce emissions by 80 percent. "What they're asking now is really ... MOREJack Kelly: Our Economy Is About To Implode
"Beware the Ides of March,” the soothsayer warned in Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar.” A Roman religious holiday, the Ides (15th) of March was the day on which Roman consuls assumed office — and the day Caesar was assassinated. For the United States, and the world economy, the Ides will be around March 4 this year, predicted ... MORE
Radley Balko: Yes, The Drug War Is Pretty Awful
Myth-busting prohibition propaganda. Last month, I wrote a response
to Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson in which I laid out many
(but by no means all) of the harms caused by the modern-era war on
drugs. Now Charles Lane, a columnist and editorial writer here at the
Post, has responded to my post. You can read Lane’s response ... MORE
