What a racket. Hillary Clinton promises to jail employers who engage in “wage theft.” Wage theft. What could possibly justify that? It sounds like
taking wages away from innocent, hard-working people, brazenly stealing
their hard earned property. Should people guilty of “wage theft” be
immediately jailed? Of course! I did a little research on the ... MOREDr. Michael Hurd: Wage Theft

Unlike Vatican City, the pope preaches open borders for U.S. Pope Francis urged a policy of open borders and open arms to immigrants in his speech to Congress Thursday, telling lawmakers not to worry about the numbers of refugees seeking refuge on foreign shores. Apparently, the pope forgot about the fortress he lives in, with an impenetrable ... MOREHow The Postal Service Continues To Burn Money
by Ken Blackwell. Most people are going to tell you that they can’t stand seeing good
money go to waste. When it comes to the U.S. government, however,

Henry L. Miller: The Dirty Truth About "Organic"
In denial of reality. Passionate advocates of organic farming and foods resemble members of a religious cult, one founded on a “back to Nature” mentality. They are not so fundamentalist, however, that they do not make concessions to reality. For example, organic standards arbitrarily define which pesticides are acceptable, but allow “deviations” ... MOREThomas Sowell: The 'Affordable Housing' Fraud
Housing is unaffordable BECAUSE of politicians. Nowhere has there been so much hand-wringing over a lack of "affordable housing," as among politicians and others in coastal California. And nobody has done more to make housing unaffordable than those same politicians and their supporters. A recent survey showed that the average monthly ... MOREWalter E Williams: Unnecessary Loss Of Life
Politically correct rules of engagement. War is nasty, brutal and costly. In our latest wars, many of the casualties suffered by American troops are a direct result of their having to obey rules of engagement created by politicians who have never set foot on — or even seen — a battlefield. Today's battlefield commanders must be alert to the ... MOREIs Obamacare Officially A Money Laundering Scheme?
by Mytheos Holt. Could the failed Obamacare exchanges have been merely an excuse to direct payola to safely Democratic states?

Let’s start with the report. ... MOREThe Pope’s 3 Biggest Hypocrisies While In America
by Joshua Krauss. For a man who is supposed to represent the highest virtues of Christianity, Pope Francis sure has habit of racking up hypocrisies on a regular basis. However, it’s surprising how many of these hypocrisies were spawned in just the past few days. In fact, they’ve been mounting since the moment he embarked on his trip to North ... MOREJacob Sullum: Did Marijuana Make Him Do It?
What passes for the prohibitionist's cautionary tale. Between 1911, when Massachusetts became the first state to ban marijuana, and 1937, when Congress made pot prohibition the law of the land, cannabis acquired a reputation as a "killer drug" that drove people to irrational acts of violence. Since 2012, when Colorado became the first state ... MORELawmakers: U.S. Plan For Internet May Be Unconstitutional
by Rudy Takala. President Obama's plan to "internationalize" the Internet may be unconstitutional, key members of Congress are claiming.

MOREHow Jeb Bush Would Destroy The Internet & Your Privacy
by Trevor Timm. Do you want to live in a country where Internet Service Providers can slow down and censor your internet traffic at will, where the NSA has vastly more power than it does today and where end-to-end encryption may be illegal? Then Jeb Bush is the Republican presidential contender for you: he has positioned himself ... MOREGovernment Likes To Steal Stuff: How One State Tries To Keep Civil Asset Forfeiture Victims From Fighting Back
by George Leef. According to the Institute for Justice’s grading of the states on how bad they are when it comes to civil asset forfeiture, Arizona is among the worst, getting a grade of D. (Only five states are worse, with D-minus grades.) One reason why Arizona deserves its bad grade is the fact that its law attempts to deter individuals who have had ... MORESF’s LAST GUN SHOP To Close Over City’s New Regs
by Jessica Chasmar. San Francisco’s
last gun shop has been a defiant fixture against the liberal city’s
suffocating arms policies for more than 60 years, but a new set of
