How to not share the hair. “Desperate” is not disguising a bald spot with spray paint or treating a thinning scalp with Rogaine; desperate is murdering over a lock of human hair—and unemployed Americans are growing desperate. Despite Michelle Obama’s claim that her hubby unleashed a “huge recovery,” the only visible recovery is on ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Next Time, Try Rogaine
How to not share the hair. “Desperate” is not disguising a bald spot with spray paint or treating a thinning scalp with Rogaine; desperate is murdering over a lock of human hair—and unemployed Americans are growing desperate. Despite Michelle Obama’s claim that her hubby unleashed a “huge recovery,” the only visible recovery is on ... MOREJohn Stossel: Climate Catastrophe
The real world effects of fossil fuel. People argue about whether the "consensus" of scientists is that we face disaster because of global warming. Instead of debating whether man's greenhouse gasses will raise temperatures, we should argue about how we gauge disasters. If you take most environmentalists and climate scientists at their word, ... MORE65% of Children Live in Federally Aided Households

David Kravets: NSA Warrantless Bulk Phone Metadata Spying Continues Unabated Despite Obama's Pledge
Snooping against Americans reauthorized. The NSA's bulk phone metadata spying program was renewed for another 90 days, the fourth time the warrantless snooping has been reauthorized following President Barack Obama promising reform last January, the government said Monday. That means the nation's telecoms will continue ... MOREEvery American Needs To Learn About Jury Nullification
by Kevin Mathews. Did you know that, no matter the evidence, if a jury feels a law is
unjust, it is permitted to “nullify” the law rather than finding someone
guilty? Basically, jury nullification is
a jury’s way of saying, “By the letter of the law, the defendant is
guilty, but we also disagree with that law, so we vote to not punish the
accused.” ... MOREThomas Sowell: Is Law Optional?
Punishment based on preconceptions. The fiasco of "Rolling Stone" magazine's apology for an unsubstantiated claim of gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house — and the instant rush to judgment of the university administration in shutting down all fraternities, when those charges were made — should warn us about the dangers ...

Dumb Policies Frustrate Benefits Of Falling Oil Prices
by Peter Morici. Falling gas prices add to holiday cheer, but those are not an unvarnished good for the U.S. economy—thanks to bad economic policy. Oil selling at about $65 a barrel oil prices gives consumers and many businesses a lot of additional buying power, but it also puts a damper on the U.S. oil and gas boom. For now, U.S. oil ... MORE
Measure To Tax Internet Sales Is Dead For A Year
by Sean Higgins. Legislation to tax Internet sales is dead for the year, a key Senate aide said. No bill allowing the taxation will be taken up before Congress' lame-duck session ends, meaning that purchases made through online merchants such as Amazon will continue to be tax-free for the foreseeable future. A coalition made up of state and ... MOREWalter E Williams: What Is Rule Of Law?
Contemplating fairness. President Barack Obama said just before the recent Ferguson, Missouri, riots, "First and foremost, we are a nation built on the rule of law." Most Americans have little or no inkling of what "rule of law" means. Many think it means obedience to whatever laws legislatures enact. That's a vision that has led to human tragedy ... MORE
Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Goes Mainstream
by Jordan Richardson. Long overdue moves toward justice. Civil asset forfeiture enables law enforcement agencies to seize money and property that they suspect is being used to commit a crime or represents profits from criminal activity. Law enforcement agencies do not need to convict or even charge the property owner to make these ... MOREBruce Walker: The IRS Scandal Is Not Going Away
Just wait until Republicans control Congress. The IRS scandal is not much in the news these days, but it is not going away. The more Obama’s minions stonewall this scandal, the more congressional Democrats discount the scandal, the more the leftist establishment media ignores this scandal, the more toxic it will be for the left. ... MOREHundreds Of Police Killings Are Uncounted In Federal Stats
by Rob Barry and Coulter Jones. When 24-year-old Albert Jermaine Payton wielded a knife in front of the police in this city’s southeast corner, officers opened fire and killed him. Yet according to national statistics intended to track police killings, Mr. Payton’s death in August 2012 never happened. It is one of hundreds of homicides ... MOREEd Adamczyk: Cost Of Renouncing U.S. Citizenship Goes Up
Govt's shrewed scheme to reduce the debt. The cost of renouncing U.S. citizenship will increase Sept. 12, from $450 to $2,350 per person, the U.S. State Department said. The new fee reflects what a U.S. Federal Register notice calls the "full cost" of the paperwork involved. "Documenting a U.S. citizen's renunciation of citizenship is ... MORE
