by Paul Sperry. Barack Obama’s presidency has been pockmarked by rioting, looting and

Walter E Williams: Education Disaster
It is not for too little money. The 2015 National Assessment of Educational Progress report, also known as The Nation's Report Card, shows that U.S. educational achievement, to put it nicely, leaves much to be desired. When it comes to reading and math skills, just 34 percent and 33 percent, respectively, of U.S. eighth-grade students tested ... MOREMap Shows Where Syrian Refugees Have Resettled In USA

David Harsanyi: The First Amendment Is Dying
Congress shall make no law, but... "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" Unless we're talking about a white chocolate-paneled cake for a gay

John Nolte: Why CNN Is Dying - The Network Shamlessly Used The Paris Bloodbath To Push For More Gun Control
CNN is collapsing. After a bit of a resurgence under chief Jeff Zucker,
the left-wing cable news network’s ratings are falling back to earth.
After a year of trumpeting ratings wins over third-place MSNBC (while
still getting beat like a drum by Fox News), there are fewer and fewer of those wins,
and not because MSNBC is doing all that much better. ... MOREMario Nicolais: Jury Nullification In Colorado Spotlight

Minimum Wage Hike Measures Ignore A Dismal Reality
by Steven Greenhut. Polls show a majority of Americans
favor raising the minimum wage. It's easy to understand the sentiment,
given how tough it is to get by working in a low-wage job. Indeed,
support for such efforts is so high in California that two unions are
proposing dueling minimum-wage-hike initiatives for the November 2016 ballot, with the ... MOREJohn Farrier: This Robot Keeps Store Shelves Full
In response to a $15 minimum wage. One of the most common tasks for retail workers is to look at the
shelves, see which items are low, and restock those areas from storage. Now that task may be partially replaced with robots. Simbe Robotics
calls its invention Tally. This robot roams a store autonomously,
scanning shelves, finding out which ... MOREThe Unelected Shadow Government Is Here To Stay
by John W. Whitehead. America’s next president will inherit more than a bitterly divided nation teetering on the brink of financial catastrophe when he or she assumes office.

What Climate Alarmists Want: 'A World Without Capitalism'

It is not global warming. Scientists and lawmakers are placing the blame for recent wildfires on President Barack Obama’s policies, not global warming. “Our nation’s forests are sick and flammable, but they don’t have to be.
