The House could make implementation difficult. With the defeat of Mitt Romney, Obamacare dodged a presidential repeal bullet, but serious threats to the sweeping reform of healthcare remain. In fact, given that the most important piece of domestic legislation in nearly fifty years was enacted on a party-line vote, it should not be surprising that as ... MOREPreacher Fights City's Warrantless Search Requirement

The people's esistance to federal tyranny. Trying to lend one of his 2008 campaign speeches a little literary heft, Barack Obama borrowed a phrase from William Faulkner: “The past isn’t dead and buried. In fact, it isn’t even past.” Four years later, the president may be considering himself, however ruefully, a prophet. For it looks like much of his second ... MOREGeorge Neumayr: Enlightened Bribery
What Lincoln and Obama share in common. "A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," said the English writer George Bernard Shaw. Mitt Romney would agree. His post-election analysis of Obama's success at bribing voters ran along the same lines. "What the president's campaign did was focus on ... MOREJohn Stossel: About That Fiscal Cliff
It's less frightening than the bankruptcy cliff. Yikes, we're headed toward a fiscal cliff! It will crush the
economy! Or so the media and politicians tell us. The "cliff" is a series of tax increases and budget cuts that automatically go into effect Jan. 1 unless Congress acts. Will Congress act? It will! I see the future: The politicians will meet ... MORETSA Exposes Breast Of Congressman's Teen Relative
by Jim Kane. A TSA screener exposed the breasts of the teen grandniece of a member of the House of Representatives, before she boarded a plane at LAX for a trip with her church group. Texas Rep.

However you slice, it's a turkey. President Barack Obama will pardon a plump Thanksgiving turkey this week. Presentation of a turkey is a 65 year old ritual, courtesy of the National Turkey Federation and the American Egg Board. Before the first President Bush’s decision to pardon, they’d often as not just eat the thing. A reprieve for a fat and ... MOREJacob Sullum: Drug Dealing And Legal Stealing
Is motel owner responsible for the behavior of guests? At the Cosmopolitan, a luxury
hotel and casino in Las Vegas, "just the right amount of wrong" is

is what the federal government says it needs to take the business ... MORE
Michael J. Hurd: Magical Thinking Won't Stop The Layoffs
It's about mind, reality and ethics. Associated Press and FoxNews.com reports: Medical supply giant Stryker is the latest company to announce job cuts in anticipation of coming costs associated with Obamacare, even though the man who inherited a fortune from the company’s founder is a fan. The company will cut 1,170 jobs, or ... MOREDiane Dimond: America's War On Drugs Sputters To An End
A positive appraisal. I'm going to make a bold prediction. America's War on Drugs is now officially over. Oh, no one in Washington is going to make any sort of announcement to confirm this but take it from me -- our four-decades-old drug war strategy is now formally kaput. To be entirely honest, it has been sputtering along for years now accomplishing little and ... MOREPaul Driessen: Global Warming Hysteria Will Kill Jobs

common are needless hassles. Since most people who stay in hotels do so while traveling, and stay
only a few days in a given hotel, you might ... MOREMark Mitchell: Is The TSA Killing Us?
More take to the dangerous roads to avoid TSA hassle. As we enter into the busiest travel time of the year, long lines at airport security are among the many peeves travelers will encounter. Some who seek to avoid the inconvenience of air travel will pack up their cars and hit the road. According to AAA, more Americans will be traveling ... MOREThomas Sowell - Killing The Goose
Incentives for destruction. Killing the goose that lays the golden egg is one of those old fairy
tales for children which has a heavy message that a lot of adults should
listen to. The labor unions which have driven the makers of Twinkies
into bankruptcy, potentially destroying 18,500 jobs, could have learned
a lot from that old children's fairy tale. ... MORE
