John Stossel: Incumbents Always Win
Politicians and their stranglehold on power. I'm told that the public is "angry" at today's politicians. Eighty-two percent disapprove of the job Congress is doing. So will Tuesday's election bring a big shakeup? No. Congressional reelection rates never drop below 85 percent. The last big "wave" election was 1994, when Democrats lost control ... MOREWind Turbines are 'Expensive, Unreliable and Inefficient'

Katrina Vander Heuvel: Justice For Edward Snowden
What if truth mattered to Obama? It is time for President Obama to offer clemency to Edward Snowden,
the courageous U.S. citizen who revealed the Orwellian reach of the
National Security Agency’s sweeping surveillance of Americans. His
actions may have broken the law, but his act, as the New York Times editorialized, did the nation ... MORETim Stanley: Numbers Prove Life Under Obama Sucks
America is so over Obama. In 2008, the media and a majority of the voters were head-over-heels in love with the man who told them that “yes, we can” overcome war and recession. By 2012, the amour had cooled but they were willing to give four more years to the guy who was – if nothing else – way hotter than Mitt Romney. But now it’s 2014 ... MORE
Veronique de Rugy: Government Failure Is Baked In

MOREGrant Duwe: The Truth About Mass Public Shootings

MORESpecial Report: America's Perpetual State Of Emergency

Seize Accounts; No Crime Required

MOREAmericans Are Renouncing Citizenship At A Record Pace
