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. Governments specialize in bureaucracy and welfare. Real wealth is created by real jobs profitably producing things of value in the marketplace. ... MOREKen 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
Court approves warrantless cellphone tracking. Last month the New Jersey Supreme Court
ruled that police generally need a warrant to obtain
information about the locations of cellphone users. Last week the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit
said just the opposite. The first
decision was based on Article I, Paragraph 7 of the New ... MOREThe 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
that supported substantial changes to NSA ... MOREMichael F. Cannon: Congress's ObamaCare Waiver
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. Consider how President Obama just gave Congress its very own Obamacare waiver. Obamacare includes a provision that should cost each ... MORE

Robert Zubrin: Give Snowden Immunity
The truth will set us free. The United States should give former NSA contractor Edward Snowden immunity from prosecution in exchange for congressional testimony. 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." Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than there are problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of ... MORERon Nixon: TSA Expands To Railroad Stations And Beyond
Government expands its warrantless search program. As hundreds of commuters emerged from Amtrak and commuter trains at Union Station on a recent morning, an armed squad of men and women dressed in bulletproof vests made their way through the crowds. The squad was not with the D.C. Police Department or Amtrak’s ... MOREThe Truth About Southern States And Nullification
by John Lambert. Slavery was a morally corrupt and abhorrent institution that should have never existed. No question. No debate. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk about nullification’s history in the Southern states prior to the Civil War. Over time, a Paul Bunyan
type myth has grown suggesting that the Southern ... MORE
