Brent Bozell on CNBC's unmasking at the GOP debate. MRC president Brent Bozell issued a statement Wednesday night criticizing the overall tilt and tone of the CNBC Republican debate in Boulder: "The CNBC moderators acted less like journalists and more like Clinton campaign operatives. What was supposed to be a serious debate about ... MOREDanny Vinik: Obama’s Effort To ‘Nudge’ America
Government using behavioral science to shape behavior. For the past year, the Obama administration has been running an experiment: Is it possible to make policy more effective by using psychology on citizens? The nickname is “nudging”—the idea that policymakers can change people’s behavior just by presenting choices or information ... MOREJames Hall: Undeniable Social Security Demographics
The math does not add up. What are the consequences for Social Security in an economy where fewer and fewer workers have a job? Add in the tax burdens that come to comply for Obamacare coverage and it is difficult to see where all the needed new employment will come from to keep funding the government Ponzi scheme? Government ... MOREAndrew Napollitano: A Midwife To Chaos And Her Perjury
A confirmed liar asks for your vote. The New York Times' Maureen Dowd captured the moment last weekend when she referred to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as "the midwife to chaos" in Libya. Dowd apparently came to that conclusion after watching Clinton bobbing and weaving and admitting and denying as she was confronted with ... MORECynthia M. Cale: Forensic DNA Evidence Is Not Infallible
Some new techniques have higher probability of error. Earlier this month, the Texas Forensic Science Commission raised concerns about the accuracy of the statistical interpretation of DNA evidence, and it is now checking whether convictions going back more than a decade are safe.

Police Prosecutions Have Increased, But Not Convictions
by Scott Shackford. I don't know that I would necessarily call it "good news" that we're
seeing more police officers facing actual charges and trials for fatal
shootings. Given, though, that there's been a notable increase
in the number of people killed by police in recent years, a doubling in
the frequency by which officers face trial in 2015 ... MOREBrent Bozell: Hillary's 'Victory Lap' Of Lies
Hillary Clinton gives false testimony, journalists yawn. To hear the media tell it, Hillary Clinton came to Capitol Hill as a bullfighter and easily killed the angry bulls of the House Benghazi committee. The "mainstream" media wondered why these crazy Republicans would "walk into the trap" of trying to scrutinize and question a media ... MOREDo Badges Grant Special Rights? Cop Shoots Unarmed Marijuana Dealer in Face and Kills Him, Walks Free
by Matt Agorist. Derek Cruice was a kind and loving young man who was murdered in cold blood by state agents because he allegedly sold a plant that is legal in five states.

Obamacare-sponsored insurance would limit the law’s expansion of health
coverage. Well, the chicken has come home to roost. Today, the Obama
administration announced that it projected dramatically lower enrollment
growth for Obamacare’s ... MOREThrowing Billions Down A Dark Tunnel For Bullet Train
Political nitwittery thrives in California. For years, critics of the California high-speed rail project – from government oversight agencies to transportation and engineering experts to think tanks to local grass-roots organizations to these Opinion pages – have faulted the California High-Speed Rail Authority for its overly optimistic and ever-changing ...
