MOREMichael Snyder: Police Abduct 10 Children From A Family In Kentucky Because Of Their ‘Off The Grid’ Lifestyle
More evidence the government is not us. If the government does not like the way that you are raising your kids, they will come in and grab them at any time without giving any warning whatsoever. Of course this is completely and totally unlawful, but it has been
happening all over America. The most recent example of this that has
made ... MOREDEA To Traveler: Thanks, I'll Take That Cash
by Joline Gutierrez Krueger. Public servants with a license to steal. Maybe he should have taken traveler’s checks. But it’s too late for that now.

MORESteve Chapman: Is the Terrorism Panic Finally Passing?
A return to sanity. One lesson of American history is that in times of war or crisis, American presidents, lawmakers and citizens often lose their minds. Another lesson is that they eventually regain their senses. When it comes to national security in the age of terrorism, it looks as though the national fever has broken. When Congress passed the Patriot Act in October 2001, it gave the federal government greater ... MOREBaylen Linnekin: Will The Austin Proposal To 'Control' Barbecue Cause Beloved Food Scene To Go Up In Smoke?
Suffering the stench of busybodies.

MORESterotyping At Its Worst: DEA Steals Cash From Innocent Black Man Who They Claim ‘Must Be A Drug Dealer’
by M. David and Reagan Ali. Some thieves carry badges. They found no drugs on him whatsoever. They never saw him selling drugs or committing a crime of any sort. But the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) claims that they are “certain” that 22-year-old Joseph Rivers is a “drug dealer.” What makes them so sure? When the young ... MORERich Lowry: Why Won’t Pamela Geller Shut Up?
Real hate speech is shut up or I'll kill you. How dare Pamela Geller get targeted by terrorists bent on committing mass murder.

MOREAndrew Napolitano: Restore The Fourth
Stop the pernicious assault on privacy. If you plan to visit a college campus this month, don't be surprised if you see signs and placards encouraging you to "Restore the Fourth." Restore the Fourth is not about an athletic event or a holiday; it is about human freedom. The reference to "the Fourth" is to the Fourth Amendment, and it is badly in ...

court-ordered warrants before targeting U.S. residents in searches of
electronic communications collected by the National Security Agency. The End Warrantless Surveillance of Americans
Act, introduced ... MOREChriss Street: The Sun Is Engaging In Climate Change Denial
Another problem for Al. The sun is known to be the main driver of all weather and climate. With 99.86% of the mass in our solar system, the great ball of violent fire in the sky has recently gone quiet in what is likely to be the weakest sunspot cycle in more than a century and actually flatlined in recent days. Weak solar cycles, like the current one, ... MORE
