ways when student reporters tried to write a newspaper article about
the recent dismissal of a popular teacher and debate coach. San Gabriel High School principal Jim Schofield sent an email telling
newspaper adviser Jennifer Kim to kill the story ... MOREPoll Shows NRA Is 50% More Popular Than Hillary Clinton
Maybe the people are not-so dumb. We’ve been hearing a lot about this subject in the last few weeks. Among the list of the “enemies”
that Hillary Clinton is most proud of having made, the National Rifle
Association is right near the top of the list. This led one of her
prominent supporters to declare that the demise of the organization was ... MOREVictor Davis Hanson: Can California Be Saved?
So naturally rich but so poorly run. Crime is back up in California. Los Angeles reported a 20.6 percent
increase in violent crimes over the first half of 2015 and nearly an 11
percent increase in property crimes.
Last year, cash-strapped California taxpayers voted for Proposition 47,
which so far has let thousands of convicted criminals go free ... MORE
Why Overregulation Of Payday Lenders Is A Bad Idea
by Veronique de Rugy. Combating bad ideas would be much easier if they were all backed by ill intent. More often than not, however, the opposite is true, and the worst government policies are enacted with the intention to help. Such is apparently the case with the aggressive campaign by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to ... MOREVolkswagen’s Cheating Was Not Selfish But Self Destructive
by Jaana Woiceshyn. Media coverage of Volkswagen’s astounding emissions-rigging scandal continues, for a good reason: the company’s (the executive’s who authorized the cheating and of all those who went along with it) immoral conduct led the company’s share price to fall by 35%, and the company can now expect $18 billion in fines as well as ...

Poll Says Marijuana Legalization Support Nears 60%
by Trevor Hughes. More Americans than ever are smoking, eating and drinking marijuana, and they now overwhelmingly support full legalization of the long-banned plant, a new study and poll show. A Gallup poll released Wednesday shows 58% of American adults think marijuana should be legal, up from 51% a year ago, with just 40% believing it ... MOREProof The System Is Broken Beyond A Reasonable Doubt
by Carlos Miller. Serving the public like Colonel Sanders serves chicken. Juley Harris pulled into a Maryland gas station last December with his family and pumped some gas before stepping into the station’s convenience store and heating up a pizza. When he stepped out, a Charles County sheriff’s deputy was demanding his identification, ... MOREStephen Moore: Winning the Debt-Limit Fight
Putting the brakes on exploding debt. During his eight years in office, Barack Obama is on pace to have increased the national debt by a horrific $8 trillion — and, ironically, the folks on Wall Street and the mavens of the media still portray congressional Republicans as the fiscal bad boys for trying to slow down the blizzard of borrowing. ... MOREGlobal Cops, Precrime & The War On Domestic ‘Extremists’
by John W. Whitehead. Are you afraid that the government is plotting to confiscate your firearms? Do you believe the economy is about to collapse and the government will soon declare martial law? Do you display an unusual number of political and/or ideological bumper stickers on your car? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may ... MOREForced Silence Is One Way To Shut Up Political Opponents
by John Stossel. Campaign finance rules = major threat to freedom. In a democracy, citizens must be able to criticize their leaders. It's a reason America's founders put free speech in the Bill of Rights. I assumed that right is safe in the United States. So I was shocked to learn what happened in Wisconsin. Before dawn, Deborah Jordahl was ... MOREPaul Albaugh: The Need for Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform
Because theft should not be a legal activity. Among the many reforms needed in government, civil asset forfeiture
might be near the top. While a majority of Americans are not affected by
the practice, it’s a problem that if left unchecked could get more out
of hand than it already is. The French philosopher Frederic Bastiat
warned of “legal ... MOREThe National Security Case For Free-Market Energy
by James Carafano. The House has passed legislation calling for liberalizing energy exports.
Two Senate committees have approved similar bills. Whether the
legislation becomes law this year remains unknown. But even if the bill
doesn’t make it, pressure on Washington will continue to build. At the height of the “energy crisis” in the 1970s, ... MOREFederal Court Orders The DEA To Stop Harassing Medical Marijuana Providers And Instead Start Obeying The Law
Enforcement zealots must learn to obey the law. In a scathing decision, a federal court in California has ruled that the Drug Enforcement Administration's interpretation of a recent medical marijuana bill "defies language and logic," "tortures the plain meaning of the statute" and is "at odds with fundamental notions of the rule of law." The ruling ... MORERepublican Party Realizes It Has A Donald Trump Problem
by Peter Suderman. Wait a minute—is Donald Trump actually going to win the Republican presidential nomination? All throughout the summer, critics (including me) dismissed Trump as a
novelty item—amusing for a moments, but thoroughly disposable and
certain to be disposed of. But now it’s the end of October, and Trump is still leading the GOP ... MORE
Rumors Of Paul Campaign’s Demise Greatly Exaggerated
by Josh Guckert. A CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday morning shows Rand Paul firmly in the hunt for the Republican nomination, as he is tied with 2008 runner-up Mike Huckabee and within the margin of error of overtaking both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, who are tied for third place behind Donald Trump and Ben Carson. Paul does exceptionally ... MORE
