MOREKeep Vaccine Choice—So Long as Families Pay Their Way

MOREAn Innocent Frequent Flyer Detained 23 Hours By TSA
by Ronnie Polaneczky. Apparently, working as a supervisor for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Philadelphia International Airport comes with a perk: You get to throw people in jail for no good reason and still keep your job. If that's not the case, why is Charles Kieser still employed by the TSA? Vanderklok, 57, is a Philly architect ... MOREEd Krayewski: Help The Cops Chill Out

The money grabbers. Politicians and lawyers pretend that they are important people doing important work. But often they're important because they are parasites.

Official lies from government. Here's something that many Americans -- including some of the smartest and most educated among us -- don't know: The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading. Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall ... MOREWalter E Williams: Scary School Stories
Poor education is not stemming from racism. New York's schools are the most segregated in the nation, and the state needs remedies right away. That was Chancellor Merryl H.
