The rolling blackouts now being implemented in Texas and across the country as record cold weather grips the United States are a direct consequence of the Obama administration’s agenda to lay siege to the coal industry, launch a takeover of infrastructure under the contrived global warming scam, and help usher in the post industrial collapse of America. ...

The rolling blackouts now being implemented in Texas and across the country as record cold weather grips the United States are a direct consequence of the Obama administration’s agenda to lay siege to the coal industry, launch a takeover of infrastructure under the contrived global warming scam, and help usher in the post industrial collapse of America. ... MORETom Woods: Nullification - Answering the Objections
In January 2011 my book Nullification became notorious when it was linked to a bill that declared Barack Obama’s health care law unconstitutional and therefore void and of no effect in the state of Idaho. (Other states have been introducing similar bills, but Idaho grabbed the media’s attention.) Legislators had read it, the news media reported, and while Governor Butch Otter turned down a state senator’s offer ... MOREDavid Harsanyi: The Right Kind of Activism
Does the federal court system exist to rubber stamp legislation?For discussion's sake, let's just concede that every four years or so the American public is fooled into voting for a demagogue who's mastered a pleasant-sounding, market-tested populism.

It's time to acknowledge prostitutes are human beings whose welfare is important.Many of you may have read or heard the story of Phillip Markoff, the "Craigslist Killer" who murdered Julissa Brissman and attacked three other working girls.

Judge Vinson's individual mandate ruling is seen --properly -- as a defeat for ObamaCare and a win for individual freedom. And it is all of that, of course. But there's more. Perhaps almost as pleasing as the affirmation of individual freedom and dismissal of a government-run society is the smack down Judge Vinson's ruling gave to the concept of "crony capitalism." MOREJohn Stossel: I Can Balance the Budget
The Congressional Budget Office says the current year's budget deficit will be a record $1.5 trillion. It also says that over the next decade we're on track for annual deficits of "only" $768 billion. I suspect the CBO has hired Rosy Scenario to do the bookkeeping, but let's take that number at face ... MORE53 Years Ago, Ayn Rand saw America's Future.

In light of the global financial crisis, Russia may be moving toward ... MOREWalter E Williams: Black Education
In my "Black Education Disaster" column (12/22/10), I presented National Assessment of Educational Progress test data that demonstrated that an average black high school graduate had a level of reading, writing and math proficiency of a white seventh- or eight-grader. The public education establishment bears part of the responsibility for this disaster, but a greater portion is borne by black students and their parents, ... MOREThomas Sowell: Spilled Milk
The EPA's quest to protect citizens from milk spills (at great expense).Despite the old saying, "Don't cry over spilled milk," the Environmental Protection Agency is doing just that. We all understand why the Environmental Protection Agency was given the power to issue regulations to guard against oil spills, such as that of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska or the more recent BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico ....
