Bring your liquids, the odds are with you. Since the TSA inflicts so many new and arbitrary policies on travelers, for the last couple of years I’ve been applying one of my own: I don’t take my liquids out of my carry-on bag. And in nearly all instances, I’m finding that the TSA doesn’t care. Since the start of 2011, I’ve cleared security 47 times at U.S. airports. And ... MOREJosh Barro: The TSA's Fake Liquids Rule
Bring your liquids, the odds are with you. Since the TSA inflicts so many new and arbitrary policies on travelers, for the last couple of years I’ve been applying one of my own: I don’t take my liquids out of my carry-on bag. And in nearly all instances, I’m finding that the TSA doesn’t care. Since the start of 2011, I’ve cleared security 47 times at U.S. airports. And ... MORECharles T Drevna: War On Fossil Fuels Continues
'Crucify' does reflect Obama's warped energy policy. The April 30 resignation of Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator Al Armendariz after he was caught telling the truth - that he wants to “crucify” companies he claims don’t comply with environmental laws - will do nothing to slow the Obama ... MOREMichael S Rozeff: America Invaded By Its Police State
Americans hand over liberty at every turn. I ask you, how illogical is it to argue that because you might be a terror threat to others, the police have a right to stop you on the road, or search you in a bus terminal, or search you in an airport, train station, supermarket, shopping mall, sports event, night club, or simply anywhere on any street at any time or in your home where ... MOREObama & Democrats Garner Communist Party Donations
Toto pulls the political curtain on the Democrats' agenda. The Communist Party USA isn’t always happy with the Democrats, but in the 2012 election, its chairman says, the best bet for advancing the Party’s goals is to back Barack Obama. In a report called “Defeating the Rightwing on the Road to Socialism” delivered to the CPUSA annual conference, Party ... MOREPolice Roadblocks Will Celebrate Mexican Holiday
Cinco de Mayo is prime time for DUI checkpoints. For the first time in five years, Cinco de Mayo falls on a weekend. That's why many law enforcement agencies are setting up DUI checkpoints beginning Friday night, or even earlier. But stationary checkpoints aren't the only tool police will be using to make sure drivers are sober this weekend. But stationary ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Why Doctors Hate ObamaCare
Your doctor won’t tell you this when you’re sitting in his office, so I will: He hates Obamacare. It’s time you know why your doctor is concerned about Obamacare. Doctors already live in constant fear of malpractice lawsuits. The last thing they want to do is stick their necks out and publicly attack Obamacare. Doctors also do not have an effective D.C. lobby ... MORECIPSA Lacks Protections For Individual Rights
by Sharon Bradford Franklin. Congress should not pass CISPA. Although a carefully crafted information-sharing program that includes robust privacy safeguards could be an effective approach to cybersecurity, CISPA lacks such protections for individual rights. CISPA would appropriately authorize the federal government to share cyberthreat intelligence ... MORE
Larry Bell: EPA Has Petroleum Processors Over A Barrel
Costly regulations produce crude, unrefined results. Can we expect to see lots of Washington EPA bureaucrats on bicycles this summer? An estimated 50% of East Coast refinery capacity is predicted to shut down in June thanks to EPA regulatory restrictions on new refinery plant construction and upgrades, along with others that discourage ... MOREThomas Sowell: A Cynical Process
Power brokers with a narrow cause. Labor unions, like the United Nations, are all too often judged by what they are envisioned as being — not by what they actually are or what they actually do. Many people, who do not look beyond the vision or the rhetoric to the reality, still think of labor unions as protectors of working people from their employers. And ... MOREJacob Sullum: Twenty Years For Standing Her Own Ground
A harsh penalty for non-submission. "I got five baby mammas, and I put my hands on every last one of them except for one," Rico Gray confessed during a November 2010 deposition. "The way I was with women ... they had to walk on eggshells around me." He recalled punching women in the face, shoving them, choking them and tossing them out the door ... MOREDebra J Saunders: S.F.'s Political Correctness Runs Amok
Common sense again bruised in the city by the bay. Former San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Brown is appalled. He didn't vote for Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, and he isn't his biggest fan. But when he considers the prosecution of Mirkarimi for bruising his wife's arm during a New Year's Eve argument, he is appalled. People lose sight of what types of cases ... MOREGary Johnson And The End Of Marijuana As A Fringe Issue
from the Atlantic. Nominated for a Supreme Court seat in 1987, Douglas H. Ginsburg withdrew from consideration when it was revealed that he'd tried marijuana decades earlier as a student. Five years later, America elected Bill Clinton to the presidency despite his admission that he tried marijuana. The taboo against the drug was still powerful enough that he hedged his ... MOREArthur Brooks: A Moral Case For Free Enterprise
Excerpted and adapted from "The Road to Freedom." Liberals often accuse conservatives of being obsessed by morality. But the truth is, many conservatives are reluctant to talk about morals or make a moral case for anything in politics and policy. They're willing to talk about principles, perhaps. Values, maybe. But morals? That evokes unpleasant ... MOREStephen Lendman: Police State Harshness
The unleashing of unchecked police powers. On April 26, the House passed HR 3523: Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) of 2011 248 - 168. A companion S. 2105: Cybersecurity Act of 2012 awaits Senate consideration. Obama promised a veto if passes. He lied. He does it repeatedly. The Senate will pass or defeat what he wants. ... MOREJacob Sullum: Every Move You Make
How new surveillance technologies threaten privacy. “If you win this case,” Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer told the Obama administration’s lawyer during oral argument in U.S. v. Jones last fall, “there is nothing to prevent the police or the government from monitoring 24 hours a day the public movement of every citizen of the United ... MOREWalter E. Williams: America's Two-Faced Liberals
Behind the facade. President Barack Obama and Wall Street occupiers, along with their allies in the mainstream media and on college campuses, have maintained an ongoing attack on high-income earners, people they call 1 percenters. Listening to their deceitful demagoguery, you would naturally think of them as 99 percenters, but you'd be dead-wrong. Last week, ... MORE
