by Steven Greenhut. A cursory glance at Governor Jerry Brown’s new budget could make you believe that California’s days
of fiscal gloom are over as he champions a balanced budget and
newfound “fiscal restraint.” California had been floating in debt. Then Brown persuaded
voters in November to increase sales and income taxes. ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Guns And The Government
Government is determined to do something. If you have listened to President Obama and Vice President Biden talk about guns in the past month, you have heard them express a decided commitment to use the powers of the federal government to maintain safety in the United States. You also have heard congressional voices from politicians in ... MOREJerry Bowyer: Republican Cave Worse Than Fiscal Cliff
GOP jellyfish offer no protection for liberty. The fiscal cliff debacle showed conclusively that the GOP establishment is a completely ineffective guardian of our liberties against President Obama and the Washington ruling class. Forget fantasies about reversing the growth of the state, let alone stopping such growth; Boehner’s boys can’t even ... MOREThey're Coming To Take Our Guns Away, Ha-haa!
by Chris Stafko. You may recall the 1966 cult-classic by Napoleon XIV titled, "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa." The lyrics of that song describe an individual who is out of his mind and who is being taken "to the funny farm" and to "the loony bin" so he can be attended to by "those nice young men in their clean white coats." The subject of the song ... MOREPatrick J. Michaels: Global Warming Apocalypse Cancelled
Inconvenient truth: no 21st century rise in temperature. My greener friends are increasingly troubled by the lack of a rise in recent global surface temperatures. Using monthly data measured as the departure from long-term averages, there’s been no significant warming trend since the fall of 1996. In other words, we are now in our 17th ... MOREHow A Cop Used A State Database To Steal Pain Pills
by Michael McFall. A former Vernal police detective now
faces criminal charges stemming from his alleged theft of a couple’s
pain pills, a month after the couple filed a complaint against him in
federal court. Ben Marland Murray, 38, was charged Friday in
8th District Court with unlawful use of the controlled substance
database and possession of a controlled ... MOREVictor Davis Hanson: The War Between The Amendments
Parity to an all-powerful, centralized government. The horrific Newtown, Conn., mass shooting has unleashed a frenzy to
pass new gun-control legislation. But the war over restricting firearms
is not just between liberals and conservatives; it also pits the first
two amendments to the U.S. Constitution against each other. Apparently, in the sequential ... MORE
Jacob Sullum: The Threat Posed By Gun Magazine Limits
Another measure that could endanger victims. A limit on magazine capacity is emerging as a leading contender
for the something that supposedly must be done in response to last
month's massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,
Connecticut. A ban on "large-capacity ammunition feeding devices"
is one of the new gun ... MORE
Capitalism: Making Tires Safer And Most Things Better
A system where the consumer is king. Humans have been using tires since the dawn of the automotive age. But today’s tires aren’t much like their predecessors. Instead of being made with natural rubber, for example, they’re fashioned from layers of materials, including textiles and steel. This is a perfect example of what economist Joseph ... MORESusan Duclos: Online Ammunition Suppliers
Time to stock up. With conflicting accounts as to whether Wal-Mart is putting off the restocking of ammunition after their meetings with the Obama administration and many local gun and ammo suppliers simply running out of ammunition after a massive surge in sales, it seemed prudent to gather a few sources for ammunition from online. ... MOREMark Steyn: In The Absence Of Guns
In Britain, defending your property can get you life. Celebrity news from the United Kingdom: In April, Germaine Greer, the Australian feminist and author of The Female Eunuch, was leaving her house in East Anglia, when a young woman accosted her, forced her back inside, tied her up, smashed her glasses, and then set about demolishing her ... MOREFlorida Senate Panel Votes To Ban Spying With Drones
One state's stand for citizen privacy. A Florida Senate panel says police should be banned from using drones to spy on citizens. A bill (SB 92) that would prohibit law enforcement agencies from gathering evidence or other information flew through the Criminal Justice Committee with a unanimous vote Tuesday. It also would ban ... MOREJohn Stossel: First, The Bad News
We in the media rarely lie to you. But that leaves plenty of room to take things wildly out of context. That's where most big scare stories come from, like recent headlines
about GM foods. GM means "genetically modified," which means scientists
add genes, altering the plant's DNA, in this case to make the crop
resistant to pests. Last week, ... MOREWalter E Williams: Are Guns The Problem?
Moral values, not laws, make a civilized society. When I attended primary and secondary school — during the 1940s and '50s — one didn't hear of the kind of shooting mayhem that's become routine today. Why? It surely wasn't because of strict firearm laws. My replica of the 1902 Sears mail-order catalog shows 35 pages of firearm ... MORE
