The Beginning Of The End Of The War On Drugs
by Ryan Cooper. 50 years of failure is enough. One of the many depressing aspects of the 2004 election was the crushing defeat of pro-gay marriage forces. Republican operatives, cynically stoking turnout with outright lies, put gay marriage bans on the ballot in 11 states, every one one of which was passed overwhelmingly. So it's jarring that gay ...

United States Supreme Court Refuses To Protect The Right Of Students To Wear American Flag T-Shirts To School
High Court rules against right of free expression. The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a case in which California public school students were prohibited from wearing American flag t-shirts to school, allegedly out of a fear that it might be disruptive. In refusing to hear the appeal without giving any reason for the decision, the Supreme ... MOREThomas Sowell: Etiquette Versus Annihilation
The negotiations of a fool. Recent statements from United Nations officials, that Iran is already blocking their existing efforts to keep track of what is going on in their nuclear program, should tell anyone who does not already know it that any agreement with Iran will be utterly worthless in practice. It doesn't matter what the terms of the agreement ... MORE

OK To Leak Government Secrets If It Benefits Politicians
by Trevor Timm. When it comes to classified information, some leaks are more equal than others. If you are a whistleblower like Edward Snowden, who tells the press about illegal, immoral or embarrassing government actions, you will face jail time. But it’s often another story for US government officials leaking information for their own ... MORE

Josh Fatzick: Study Shows Global Poverty Is At Its Lowest Rate In History, And It Is All Thanks To Capitalism
The recipe for prosperity is freedom. Capitalism gets a bad rap these days, often conjuring up images of greedy oil barons, sweatshop factories and polluted oceans, but a recent study shows exactly how much capitalism has helped the poorest of the world. The study, conducted by Max Roser of the Institute for New Economic
Thinking at Oxford ... MOREIan Hanchett: Jeb Bush Is 'Nervous' About NSA Criticism
Hostility to the Fourth Amendment. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush stated that he is “nervous” about criticism of the NSA and that he wished the president would do a better job defending government surveillance systems on Monday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show.” Bush said that lone wolf terrorism “is a serious threat in a world where we’re so ...

Being A Good Mom Puts Her At Odds With Her Government
by John Pendygraft. Mom of epileptic son caught in Charlotte's Web medical marijuana bureaucracy. Just as 13-year-old Branden Petro flops into the passenger seat of
his mom's car, his eyes roll back. His face twitches uncontrollably. He
curls into a fetal position. It is his third seizure on a particularly bad day. His mother, Renee
Petro, 36, jumps ... MOREShane Goldmacher: Rand Paul’s Big, Risky Bet on Youth
Can appeal to the young win with the Grand OLD Party. When Sen. Rand Paul
makes his first visit to Iowa as an official presidential candidate
next month, he will head to the campus of the University of Iowa. The
location—one of the state's biggest liberal strongholds—seems unusual
for a Republican, but Paul is headed there in the hopes ... MORE

What's Next For Police State America? Armed TSA Police
Are you ready for an armed TSA? The NY Times reported
the union that represents the TSA renewed its push for armed agents at
checkpoints of the nation's airports. Using a violent attack by a
machete-wielding taxi driver in New Orleans as an excuse. Another pilot allegedly crashed a plane on purpose with
150 people on board, why doesn't the ... MOREWalter E Williams: Self-Enforcing Discrimination
How do-gooders handicap the poor. Black politicians, civil rights organizations and others who say they are concerned with the welfare of poor black people often support harmful measures. One of the most effective tools for disadvantaged people is to be able to charge a lower price for what they sell and pay a higher price for what they buy. ...

Badges don't grant special rights. A man whose job was to help guide people after they’ve been released
from prison, has been arrested himself, after being accused of vile
criminal acts. A parole officer in South Florida was arrested this week for sexually
assaulting a woman on probation. The woman was so scared of violating
her probation ... MORE

Off-Target: California GOP Embraces Gun-Grab Program
by Steven Greenhut. With friends like this, who needs enemies? Republican legislators are known for their support of gun rights, yet a letter they sent regarding state Attorney General Kamala Harris last week has a man-bites-dog quality about it. A dozen state GOP senators called for an oversight hearing to examine why Harris has been too ... MORERadley Balko: Absurd Fourth Circuit Ruling Embodies Everything That’s Wrong With SWAT Drug Raids
Some police state bootlickers have robes. Earlier this month, a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued an appalling decision in a lawsuit stemming from a fatal 2005 drug raid in Maryland. In fact, the opinion encapsulates everything that’s wrong with sending militarized police barreling into homes to serve ... MORE

Tyranny: An Essential Feature of Socialism
by Doug Reich. I recently heard a television pundit lament the likely outcome of his own prediction that the liberally biased media, after a temporary fit of outrage over the egregious scandals engulfing the Obama administration, will return to its sycophantic posture just in time for the next election cycle. While I agree with this prediction, the more ... MORE
