Making it pay to automate. For anyone who dismissed as a bunch of right-wing propaganda the
claim that a higher minimum wage and mandatory health benefits
would mean more workers replaced by computer screens, here is a

claim that a higher minimum wage and mandatory health benefits
would mean more workers replaced by computer screens, here is a
reality check. McDonald's

The exit route is obscured. Many years ago, in upstate New York, there was a lady who was caught
in a fierce snow storm that produced conditions called a "whiteout."
That's when the snow is falling so thick and fast that all you can see
in any direction is just sheer white. This lady wandered around in the
storm, struggling to try to get home, ... MORE

The issue that will be on the June ballot is whether voter approval shall be required to change the height restrictions on buildings along the San Francisco waterfront. Like so many other ... MOREWalter E Williams: America's Budding Tyrants
A production of the government education system. From the Nazis to the Stalinists, tyrants have always started out supporting free speech, and why is easy to understand. Speech is vital for the realization of their goals of command, control and confiscation. Basic to their agenda are the tools of indoctrination, propagandizing, proselytization. ... MOREWhy Gun Owners Oppose Universal Background Checks
Building the gun owner database. Gun control groups (including the Obama White House) have been pushing hard for new laws and restrictions on firearms.

U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts may have been blackmailed to approve Obamacare after being spied on by the NSA and CIA, says Larry Klayman, the attorney who has come to be known as “the NSA slayer” for his successful legal battles against the National Security Agency. During an appearance Sunday night on Aaron ... MOREKurt Schlicter: My Privilege Is Doing Just Fine
How to undermine the self-supporting. Liberals have a new word for what normal people call “success.” They
call it “privilege,” as if a happy, prosperous life is the result of
some magic process related to where your great-great-great-grandfather
came from. It’s the latest leftist argument tactic, which means it is a tactic designed to prevent ... MOREFrank Chodorov: What Individualism Is Not
The bottle is now labeled libertarianism. But its content is nothing new; it is what in the nineteenth century, and up to the time of Franklin Roosevelt, was called liberalism — the advocacy of limited government and a free economy. (If you think of it, you will see that there is a redundancy in this formula, for a government of limited ... MOREWASH TIMES: Putting A Stop To Civil Asset-Forfeiture
Minnesota applies constitutional protections. When cops can help themselves to cash, cars, boats and houses of citizens who have never been charged with a crime, the system is badly broken. Minnesota has become one of the handful of states to do something to fix it. The sight of a lawman in the rear-view mirror can be a reassuring ... MOREZach Weissmueller: Another Drug Bust Gone Bad
Cops can’t get their story straight in killing. On a sweltering summer morning in the California desert, deputies looking for methamphetamines and bearing automatic weapons barged into the home of Eugene Mallory, an 80-year-old retired engineer living a quiet life in the small community of Littlerock. Moments later, Mallory ... MOREBrent Skorup: Net Neutrality Nonsense
Ignore the scare tactics. In
January, for the second time in recent years, a
federal court told the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) that its net neutrality enforcement was
illegal, sending the agency back to the drawing board. On May 15,
the FCC proposed new rules.* Dozens of major news outlets have
trying to read the tea leaves, with ... MOREHow Much Government Has Lied To Defend The NSA
by Trevor Timm. High Court manipulated by DOJ's false statements. If you blinked this week, you might have missed the news: two Senators accused the Justice Department
of lying about NSA warrantless surveillance to the US supreme court
last year, and those falsehoods all but ensured that mass spying on
Americans would continue. ... MORE
