Rasmussen Poll: Nullification Goes Mainstream
by Mike Maharrey. Day after day, the media pounds out a relentless drumbeat against nullification. Pundits, commentators and so-called legal experts demonize it as
unconstitutional, villainize it as racist and trivialize it with slurs
like “wacky” and “kookie.” But while the political class continues to arrogantly ridicule Madison and Jefferson’s ... MOREJohn Stossel: Live Free Or Move
Voting with your feet. Forty-three million Americans moved from one state to another between 1995 and 2010 — about one-seventh of Americans. It's good that we can move!

snags will be exploited by Republicans in ... MOREMassive New Fed Crackdown On Legal Pot Dispensaries
by Nicole Flatow. In several West Coast cities, federal officials are initiating a new round of crackdowns against dispensaries that are seemingly complying with state medical marijuana law. In Seattle, 11 dispensaries received shutdown warnings. In San Francisco, almost half of the city’s small number of state-licensed dispensaries received ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Get The Facts And Save Lives With Guns
Educate instead of indoctrinate. Teach gun safety in classrooms and leave sex education to parents. Plan B won’t save young people from incurable STDs, but guns will protect women and children from being raped or murdered. The more young people know about guns, the safer our society will be. Rush Limbaugh said on his talk radio ... MOREObama Is Off To Pimp More Spending And Regulation
by Kevin Glass.

Thursday will kick off a series ... MORESteve Chapman: Surveillance Cameras Are Not All That

Brian Vanyo: Unsustainable And Unconstitutional Spending
General welfare and political pandering. According to deficit forecasts in President Barack Obama's latest budget, the national debt will surpass $20 trillion by 2016.

MOREBenghazi Whistleblower Shocked That WH Blamed YouTube
by John Sexton. In an appearance on Face the Nation this morning, Rep. Darrell Issa revealed several new pieces of information about the Obama administration's controversial description of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, casting doubt that the White House mischaracterized its cause by mere accident.

Bureaucracy stands in the way of the best treatment. The U.S. health care system is rife with rising costs and stagnating quality. All too often, the cure for these ailments calls for ever greater government intervention. Such cures misdiagnose the problem. The health care system’s problems are caused by too little patient control, not ... MOREThe Boston Mindset: Cringe Like Sheep
A reality check from William A. Levinson. Colonel Jeff Cooper's To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth describes exactly what is wrong with the United States today.

MOREJohn Stossel: Train Wreck Ahead
The perils of a blind engineer. Most Americans — even those who are legislators — know very little about the details of President Obama's Affordable Care Act, so-called Obamacare. Next year, when it goes into effect, we will learn the hard way. Many people lazily assume that the law will do roughly what it promises: give insurance to the uninsured ... MOREGovernment Nannies And The New Caffeine Crackdown

The reality is counterintuitive. U.S. companies are rethinking whether to continue sourcing garments from Bangladesh in the wake of the tragic collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory that killed hundreds of workers on April 25. If they do so, most Bangladeshi garment workers will be worse off than they are today. ... MOREVIDEO: Locked Up For Drinking Tea While Being Black

Steven Greenhut: California's Homeless Bill Of Rights
The latest nitwittery from Golden State lawmakers.
