November 8-12 survey of 3,072 practicing physicians in all 50 states,
and reported this week by the Atlanta Business Chronicle: 1. Most physicians didn’t like Obamacare when Congress passed the health-care reform law in 2010. Fifty-nine percent of ... MOREThe More Doctors Know, The More They Dislike Obamacare

by Jesse Lava and Sarah Solon. Leon and Mary Adams had been living in their Philadelphia home for nearly five decades. They were eating breakfast one morning last year when armed cops streamed out of a bunch of vans and said the couple had 10 minutes to grab their things and leave. Permanently. As in, Leon and Mary wouldn’t be allowed ... MOREMario Loyola: How The Minimum Wage Hurts Poor People
Raising the cost of employment is a bad idea. Progressive policies are usually advanced by reference to their
intended beneficiaries, without any reference at all to the social
losses they create. It’s important to see how the supposed benefits fail
in the case of the minimum wage, and Kevin Williamson does a typically great job ... MOREDriver Arrested For Secret Compartment Full Of Nothing
by Scott Shackford. Norman Gurley, 30, is facing
drug-related charges in Lorain County, Ohio, despite the fact that
state troopers did not actually find any drugs in his
possession. Ohio passed
a law in 2012 making it a felony to alter a vehicle to add a
secret compartment with the “intent” of using it to conceal drugs
for trafficking. Gurley is the ... MOREJohn W. Whitehead: Kennedy Was Right
We are the heirs of the First Revolution. The year was 1961. I was fourteen years old, the only child of blue-collar workers living in Peoria, Illinois. Lacking any great understanding of the winds of change that were blowing through our nation and the world, I sat transfixed in front of our small black-and-white television as John F. Kennedy ... MORETenn Hearings Demonstrate Absurdities Of Asset Forfeiture
by Radley Balko. Here in Nashville, the state legislature held hearings this week on "policing for profit," the catchy name the libertarian public interest law firm the Institute for Justice has given to the practice of civil asset forfeiture. The hearings were inspired by some terrific reporting
done by local television journalist Phil Williams over ... MORETerrance P. Jeffrey: Only The Self-Reliant Remain Free
Who had more freedom? Was it the pioneer who rode horseback across the Midwest, settled in a wide-open space without paved roads, grocery stores or hospitals, and had to build his own home, cultivate his own food and educate his own children? Or was it the less-adventuresome brother he left behind in an Eastern city who lived next door to ... MOREWhen Political Correctness Trumps Human Lives
Thomas Sowell on a very dangerous game. New York City police authorities are investigating a series of unprovoked physical attacks in public places on people who are Jewish, in the form of what is called "the knockout game." The way the game is played, one of a number of young blacks decides to show that he can knock down some ... MOREJohn Stossel: War On The Little Guy
Bureaucratic regulators and their penalty flags. Marty the Magician performed magic tricks for kids, including the traditional rabbit-out-of-a-hat. Then one day: "I was signing autographs and taking pictures with children and their parents," he told me. "Suddenly, a badge was thrown into the mix, and an inspector said, 'Let me see your ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: The Shutdown And The Rollout
Here is a quick pop quiz. Which presented more harm to human life and personal freedom: the four-week partial shutdown of the federal government last month or the rollout of Obamacare this month? Obamacare is the greatest single expansion of federal regulatory authority in American history. In one stroke, it puts 16 percent of ... MOREDaren Jonescu Explains The Reign Of Idiots And Criminals
"The American majority has, it sadly seems, been insulated against all moral shock by generations of public education, moronic popular entertainment, and a carefully cultivated mass cynicism that responds to all outrages with a shrug and a chorus of “They all do it.”Cops Force Texas Drivers Off The Road To Take Survey
Probable cause not required to get red lights. Texas drivers are being pulled over and offered cash in return for DNA blood samples. Police say the national survey is '100 per cent voluntary' but drivers claim they felt trapped and were 'forced off the road' to give samples. Officers in the $8million National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ... MOREJacob Sullum: The Punishment Is The Crime
Thousands serve life sentence for nonviolent offenses. Nine years ago, Ronald Washington swiped two Michael Jordan jerseys from a Foot Locker in Shreveport, Louisiana. Although the shirts were on sale for $45 each, they were officially priced at $60, putting their combined value above $100. The difference between the discounted price and ... MOREJohn W. Whitehead: Coming To A Police Dept Near You
Drones, tanks and grenade launchers. Why does a police department which hasn’t had an officer killed in the
line of duty in over 125 years in a town of less than 20,000 people need
tactical military vests like those used by soldiers in Afghanistan?
For that matter, why does a police department in a city of 35,000
people need a military- ... MOREKen Dilanian: New Documents Detail NSA Privacy Violations
Lawless agency intentionally misused powers. The National Security Agency acknowledged that it repeatedly violated its own privacy guidelines in a now-defunct program to collect "to and from" data in American email, according to newly released documents that paint a picture of incompetence but offer no evidence that the agency ...
