MOREAn Innocent Frequent Flyer Detained 23 Hours By TSA
by Ronnie Polaneczky. Apparently, working as a supervisor for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Philadelphia International Airport comes with a perk: You get to throw people in jail for no good reason and still keep your job.

Legalizing theft. During her
confirmation hearings last week, Loretta Lynch, President

wonderful tool." Lynch, currently the U.S. attorney for the ... MOREJohn Stossel: The Parasitic Nature Of Politicians
The money grabbers. Politicians and lawyers pretend that they are important people doing important work. But often they're important because they are parasites. They feed off others, while creating no wealth of their own. We all complain about businesses we don't like, but because business is voluntary, every merchant must offer us something ... MOREAP: Obama Relies On Accounting Tricks To Pad Numbers

Official lies from government. Here's something that many Americans -- including some of the smartest and most educated among us -- don't know: The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading. Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall ... MOREWalter E Williams: Scary School Stories
Poor education is not stemming from racism. New York's schools are the most segregated in the nation, and the state needs remedies right away. That was Chancellor Merryl H. Tisch's message to New York's governor and Legislature. She said that minority children are disproportionately trapped in schools that lack teaching talent, ... MOREMichael Heise: 22 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Trust Police
The police aren't making too many friends these days.

But, no matter how much we see this behavior, no matter how frequent it becomes, there seems to be ...
