by Geoffrey A. Manne & R. Ben Sperry. "Net neutrality" sounds like a good idea. It isn't. As political slogans go, the phrase net neutrality has been enormously effective, riling up the chattering classes and forcing a sea change in the government's decades-old hands-off approach to regulating the Internet. But as an organizing principle for the ... MOREHow To Break The Internet
by Geoffrey A. Manne & R. Ben Sperry. "Net neutrality" sounds like a good idea. It isn't. As political slogans go, the phrase net neutrality has been enormously effective, riling up the chattering classes and forcing a sea change in the government's decades-old hands-off approach to regulating the Internet. But as an organizing principle for the ... MORENY Times Gets Confused About Minimum Wage Again
by Tim Worstall. The editorial page has been dumbed down. There was a glorious time, when America was young again, that the New
York Times actually had the right idea about the minimum wage. The rate
should be zero of course. No, really, here’s their headline: "The Right Minimum Wage: $0.00." That’s not an Op/Ed, that’s an editorial. ... MOREEx-Drug Cop Says He Stole Cash, Planted Drugs Many Times
by MaryClaire Dale, AP. A disgraced ex-police officer testifying against his drug squad colleagues acknowledged Tuesday that he stole drug money, planted evidence and lied on police paperwork too many times to count. Jeffrey Walker told jurors that the Philadelphia Police Department drug squad targeted white "college-boy ... khaki-pants types" ... MOREJohn W. Whitehead: No Matter Who Wins The White House, The New Boss Will Be The Same As The Old Boss
Liberty is an individual, not a political, choice. The American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us. Yet no matter who wins this next presidential election, you can rest assured that the new boss will be the same as the old boss, and we—the permanent underclass in ... MORE'Free-Range' Parents Will Sue CPS For Grabbing Their Kids
by Lenore Skenazy. Taking the busybodies who mind your business to court. The Meitivs are lawyering up, and will file some kind of lawsuit against Montgomery County, Maryland, officials who took their children while the youngsters were walking outside by themselves. Matthew Dowd, a partner at Wiley Rein LLP, will represent the Meitivs free of ... MORECalifornians Can Now Be Fined For Long Showers!
by Leslie Eastman. Jerry Brown sells out to agricultural interests. I reported that California Governor Jerry Brown unveiled the state’s first water restrictions in response to the “mega-drought”. As I foresaw, the rules have turned out to be more about revenue generation than resource protection. What I did not predict is that my teen son and his ... MORE
Jacob Sullum: Walter Scott Shooting Highlights Cops’ Contempt For The Citizen's Right to Record Police
Harassing camera-carrying bystanders needs to stop. Even before it became clear that Feidin Santana was witnessing what local authorities now describe as a murder, it took guts for him to record the police encounter that ended in Walter Scott's death. Santana, who was walking to work at a barbershop in North Charleston, South ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Can The President Kill Americans?
Can the president kill you? The short answer is: Yes, but not legally.

Cop Pulls Black Man Over For Seatbelt Violation; Shoots Him When He Follows Order To Produce License (VIDEO)
See the unbelievable video. A black man has come out in support of police body cameras after he was gunned down by a white officer during a traffic stop and writhed in agony on the ground saying: 'Why did you shoot me sir?' Levar Jones, 36, who has no criminal record and was on his way home from his job at a Subway café, said the horror of his ... MOREJohn Stossel - Freedom To And From Religion
Government more powerful than God. Religious oppression was one reason many of our ancestors came to America. They wanted to escape rulers who demanded that everyone worship their way. In Ireland, Catholics couldn't vote or own a gun. I assumed that because many of America's founders came here to escape such repression, they ... MOREWalter E Williams: Reality May Be Optional
Let's pretend instead. One of the wonders of modern times is that reality is often seen as a social construct and therefore optional. Thus, if one finds a particular reality offensive or inconvenient, he just "changes" it. Say that one is born a male or a female but believes that nature made an error. Some believe that nature's "error" can be corrected by ... MOREAmerican Families Are Being Economically Destroyed
by Michael Snyder. The systematic destruction of the American way of life is happening all around us, and yet most people have no idea what is happening. Once upon a time in America, if you were responsible and hard working you could get a good paying job that could support a middle class lifestyle for an entire family even if you only had a high ... MOREThomas Sowell: The New Inquisition
How long will this country remain free? Probably only as long as the American people value their freedom enough to defend it. But how many people today can stop looking at their electronic devices long enough to even think about such things? Meanwhile, attempts to shut down people whose free speech interferes with other people's political ... MOREPolice Want To Add “Eye Blinding” Laser To Thier Arsenal
by Lina Bryce. More militaristic tactics on the way. A firm that provides non-lethal equipment to law enforcement is set to release a new “compliance weapon” that temporarily blinds targets for up to 15 minutes and police have their sights set on the “eye-blinding” gun.
