Emergency Room Visits Continue to Rise Under Obamacare
by Peter Suderman. Another Obamacare promise bites the dust. In September, 2009, President Obama gave a prime time speech to the
joint Congress making the case for the health care law that would come
to be known as Obamacare. Much of the speech was devoted to explaining
and justifying the law’s major components. Subsidies, he argued, ... MOREManny Pacquiao Perpetrates Fraud, Commits Perjury In Order To Cash In On Huge Payday, Risks Disciplinary Action

Why The Bill Of Rights Would Never Pass Today
by Charles C W Cooke. Having watched closely the manner in which questions of liberty and
power are batted around in the first part of the 21st century — most
recently during the disgraceful contretemps that Indiana’s rather tame
Religious Freedom Restoration Act provoked across the land — I have come
to wonder of late whether the Bill of ... MORERowan Lee: ACLU Releases App To Track & Record Police
What if citizens required justice? The ACLU has begun to roll out a new program through the form of an app that they call the Mobile Justice Crime Unit.

MORE Available on iTunes Thomas Sowell: Race, Politics and Lies
Behavior matters and so do facts. Among the many painful ironies in the current racial turmoil is that communities scattered across the country were disrupted by riots and looting because of the demonstrable lie that Michael Brown was shot in the back by a white policeman in Missouri — but there was not nearly as much turmoil created by ... MOREFrom The Drug War To Militarizing Police, Why Does The Left Still Support Federal Control Of Local Policing?
March of the Democrats. Glenn 'Instapundit' Reynolds has a great column in USA Today demolishing the idea—floated by the Obama administration and pushed recently by Al Sharpton—that a nationalized police force would somehow be an improvement, from a civil liberties perspective, over the current situation. The Obama ... MOREBrendan O'Neill: Meet The Vagina Voters
Voting for Hillary because she's a woman. "I intend to vote with my vagina." Have you ever read a more squirm-inducing sentence than that? It appeared in a pro-Hillary piece in Dame magazine, written by a person with a vagina who intends to vote for Clinton because she also has a vagina. Let's leave aside the unfortunate image conjured up by ... MORESteve Chapman: False Fears About Free Trade
Demonizing freedom is always a mistake. Political debates often pit fear against hope, and when it comes to international trade agreements, many Democrats prefer to scare. It's a durable strategy that they can't relinquish—even though it usually fails. If you're going to make a horror movie, you need a villain who can make your blood run ... MOREPolice State Plan To Deploy A Vehicle-Tracking Database
from National Motorists Association. We predicted it would happen. A year after the Department of Homeland

vehicle license plate data, the agency is seeking bids from private contractors to provide the agency access to the same information. DHS canceled last year’s plan ... MOREPatriot Act Faces Revisions Backed by Both Parties
by Jonathan Weisman and Jennifer Steinhauser. Maybe NSA will just ignore the law again.

MOREBaylen Linnekin: The GMO Debate Heats Up (Again)
Federal, state, and local laws. The debate over GMOs has heated up again. It's been only a month since I last wrote about the issue. But a host of new developments at the federal, state, and local levels have drawn widespread attention. In Oregon, a heated public hearing
took place over a ridiculous and unconstitutional proposed county
ordinance, ... MOREEd Krayewski: Freddie Gray Death Ruled Homicide - All Cops Involved Being Charged Are Still Drawing Paychecks

This Is Why So Many People Are Homeschooling!
A letter from the school: Dear Mr and Mrs. Rossi, I understand that your family recently took a family vacation. I want you to be aware that the Abington School District does not recognize family trips as an excused absence, regardless of the activities involved in the trip. The school district is not in the position of overseeing family vacations or ... MORES E Cupp: Houston Rockets, Emojis & Political Correctness
Stick a fork in us. We are done. Political correctness has finally corrupted rational thought and common sense to the point that garden variety sports trash talk is a firing offense.
