Clever demagogues and gullible followers make toxic combo. When I first saw a book with the title, "White Girl Bleed A Lot" by Colin Flaherty, I instantly knew what it was about, even though I had not seen the book reviewed anywhere, and knew nothing about the author. That is because I had encountered that phrase before, while doing research ... MOREThomas Sowell: Are Race Riots News?

by David Seaman. Dudes, I'm done with this. I'm leaving the United States today, and won't be back for a while.

Those Joining Disability Now Outpace Those Finding Jobs
by Daniel Halper. A new chart set to be released by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee details an alarming fact: In the last three months, more Americans have joined disability than have found a job. As the chart shows, between April-June 2012, an estimated 246,000 Americans were added to Social Security's disability insurance program. In that same time period, only 225,000 American jobs were created. These alarming numbers, though, are ... MORE
Big Mistake In Obama's War Against Medical Marijuana
by Scott Morgan. For over a year now, the Obama Administration has been steadily escalating its assault on medical marijuana. What was already a mess has been getting worse from one week to the next, and each new attack revives the question of whether the feds have finally taken things too far. If we aren't there yet, we may well be getting pretty damn ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: The Bipartisan War On Individual Liberty
Politicians of both parties want to restrict your freedom. The good people at Gallup perform a valuable public service by keeping track of what Americans consider the nation's most important problem. Five years ago, it was Iraq. Last summer, the economy weighed most heavily on the public mind. It still does this summer. Or at least that is ... MOREWalter E Williams: Tyrants And Human Nature
There are no known exceptions to the law of demand. The agendas of liberals, progressives and assorted tyrants desperately depend on the aspects of human nature they often condemn, such as acquisitiveness, profit motive, self-interestedness and greed. This crossed my mind while reading "How Departures From Economic Freedom ... MORENY Times: The End Of Privacy?
The reasonable expectation of privacy does not exist anymore. Cellphones, e-mail, and online social networking have come to rule daily life, but Congress has done nothing to update federal privacy laws to better protect digital communication. That inattention carries a heavy price. Striking new data from wireless carriers collected by ... MORE
Washington Times: Gov. Moonbeam's 'Hydrogen Highway'
Another half-baked idea to plague Californians. There’s no idea so crazy that you can’t find a government grant to implement it. After all, California voters approved a project to build what’s now a $70 billion bullet train between Bakersfield and Madera — two unremarkable cities situated in the middle of nowhere. Now Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown wants to ... MOREJeff Lipkes: Taking Down The Second Amendment
Fast & Furious connects to the Trayvon Martin case. Very soon after his inauguration, Barack Obama decided to move ahead with plans to use the horrific number of deaths in the Mexican drug wars as a pretext for new gun control laws. On March 26, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder proposed a ban on "assault weapons" in order to reduce violence ... MOREPeter Ferrara: The Last Nail In The Keynesian Coffin
The only useful function of Obamanomics. Keynesian economics is the false vision of human action which says the way to promote economic recovery and renewed growth is through increased government spending, deficits and debt. If that sounds nuts, that’s because it is. The idea is that the increased government spending and deficits will increase ... MOREKatie Kieffer: GR8, Obama Is Texting Me
President Obama is mass-texting me although I never opted into his texts. I feel like he controls my phone remotely. So, I’m texting him back: HEY PREZ, WILL U PLS STOP TXTING ME?!

MOREBlake Hurst: And The Regulatory State Drones On
What's truly frightening goes unnoticed. Forget the kerfuffle over EPA drone flights; nobody pays attention to the things that the EPA is doing that are truly frightening. Bovines of Nebraska, take cover; Big Brother is watching! The Environmental Protection Agency has been doing aerial reconnaissance flights looking for cows disrespecting U.S. ... MORESteve Greenhut: California's Food Truck Shakedown
How state officials mistreat mobile food vendors. We would all laugh at a man who, sinking in millions of dollars in house payments, car loans, and credit card bills, decided to fix his problem by looking for spare quarters lurking behind the cushions of his sofas. Likewise, we should shake our heads at the way the state of California—with a budget ... MORE
