Warrantless surveillance deployed. Law enforcement agencies that have requested permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly unmanned drones plan to use them for surveillance purposes, according to documents obtained by an Internet freedom organization.

by Dan Flynn. We are going to have to wait a little longer to see if supporters of Wisconsin raw milk dairy farmer Vernon Hershberger can pull off a rarely used legal maneuver called jury nullification. Sauk County Judge Guy Reynolds has moved the start of the Hershberger jury tail to Jan. 7, 2013. Evidence and witness lists are due Oct. 19, and the final ... MOREA Government Of Unions, By Unions And For Unions
by Matt Patterson. In 2009, the U.S. government bailed out the auto industry, ostensibly to save the livelihoods of thousands of Americans who work for automakers and their supporting companies. Sounds nice, except that this federal largesse was not distributed equally. In fact, some employees who were also members of the powerful, politically ... MOREMarine Gets NDAA Treatment: Detained Without Charges
“This should be a wake-up call to Americans that the police state is here.” - John Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute.
Forced 30-day psych evaluation for Facebook post. Pitting human and First Amendment rights and freedoms against security, a 26-year old former Marine targeted individual was ordered Monday to undergo ... MORE
Steve Gunn: Just Say No When The TSA Asks You To Chat
A bizarre and outlandish violation of the Fourth Amendment. I came face-to-face with Big Brother the other day, and it was a frightening experience. He actually presented himself in the deceptive form of a young, attractive female officer, working for the Transportation Security Administration at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. At first she ... MOREPaul J. Watson: Questioning Authority Is Suspicious Activity
Man kicked off flight for anti-TSA shirt. A man and his wife were treated as potential terrorists and kicked off a Delta Airlines flight over a satirical T-shirt because it made passengers and employees feel “very uncomfortable”. Writing on his blog, Arijit Guha describes how he was flying out of Buffalo-Niagara Airport after attending his wife’s ... MOREJohn Stossel: Who Is Paul Ryan?
Does he really believe in the free market? I wanted to like Paul Ryan. Before he was nationally known, Rep. Ryan visited me at ABC, and we went to lunch. He was terrific. He was a rare politician, one who actually cared about America's coming debt crisis and the unfairness of entitlements. He even talked about F.A. Hayek's "The Road to ... MORE
VIDEO: US Prison Population: The Largest in the World
Many incarcerated for statutory crimes in which no one's rights were violated.
Ted Nugent: Crimes Against Gibson Guitars
Uncle Sam is Uncle Sham. My all-American sonic-bombast weapon of choice for 50 years has been those world-class pieces of musical art, the mighty Gibson guitar. I own a stunning arsenal of them. It wouldn’t surprise me if some Fedzillastooge from Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s Department of Gunrunning Injustice will try to tell us American ... MOREThere's No Magic To Lowering Prices And Raising Quality
by Christopher J. Conover. One of the sharpest dividing lines between conservatives and liberals is whether or not markets can work in medicine. Progressives admit to being "deeply suspicious of the claim that a health care system dominated by powerful vested interests and mystifying in its complexity can be tamed by consumers who are strapped for ... MOREAndrew Bernstein: Intensify The War On Drugs
But in a radically new form. The War on Drugs must forcefully continue. Toxic drugs destroy lives. No rational person wants to kill himself on drugs—or witness innocent others kill themselves in similar manner. The first step of a rational, morally proper, and effective war on drugs is to fully legalize all drugs for consenting adults. The government’s ... MOREThomas Sowell: A Powerful Movie
Insight into the messiah. Years, and sometimes decades, pass between my visits to movie theaters. But I drove 30 miles to see the movie "2016," based on Dinesh D'Souza's best-selling book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage." Where I live is so politically correct that such a movie would not even be mentioned, much less shown. Every seat in the theater... MOREThomas Sowell: "Issues" Or America?
Obama reelection means arbitrary rule by decree. There are some very serious issues at stake in this year's election — so many that some people may not be able to see the forest for the trees. Individual issues are the trees, but the forest is the future of America as we have known it. The America that has flourished for more than two centuries is being ... MORE
Government Spending Cuts Are Bad For The Economy?
by Tyler Watts. “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines,” laments the gruff air traffic controller played by Lloyd Bridges in the ribald disaster-spoof Airplane! Facing the tense situation of helping a nerve-wracked pilot safely land a large passenger jet, “Steve McCroskey” could get a performance boost by popping some pep ... MOREInvestors Business Daily: Fracking Leads To Cleaner Air
The greatest story never told. Carbon emissions in the U.S. have hit a 20-year low due to a supposedly environmentally unfriendly drilling technique that has created an abundance of cheap natural gas. The free market, it seems, does it better than the EPA. Environmentalists find themselves between shale rock and a hard place after a ... MORE
