MOREA New Taxpayer Bailout To Cover Up ObamaCare’s Failure?

When Will They Ever Learn? The New Student Rebellion
by Walter Donway. When trespassers invade private property and refuse to leave until their “demands” are met, you call the police to have them evicted by all necessary means and arrested.

MOREKen Silverman: The Clinton Foundation Has Served As A Vehicle To Launder Money And To Enrich Family Friends
Shaky foundations. After endless delays and excuses, the Clinton Foundation released its 2014 tax return as well as amended returns for the previous four years and an audit of its finances.

MOREAndrew Napolitano: Paris And Freedom
Our liberties are NOT the problem. The tragedy in Paris last Friday has regrettably been employed as a catalyst for renewed calls by governments in western Europe and even in the United States for more curtailment of personal liberties.

An opportunity for tyranny. Churchill once said: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” More recently, former Obama White House chief of staff/current Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel said earlier: “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.

Nullification And The Kentucky Resolution Of 1798
by William J.

A good illustration of this “echo effect” in American ... MOREEd Krayweski: Man Slams The Door On Cops Who Had No Warrant, Then Cops Break His Door Down And Kill Him
More from the American gestapo. An unknown number of sheriff's deputies showed up at the trailer where John Livingston and Clayton Carroll lived at 3:30 a.m., looking for someone as part of an unspecified "assault investigation."

by Marcy Wheeler. And yet intelligence officials and politicians are now saying it could have. They’re wrong. Since terrorists struck Paris last Friday night, the debate over whether
encryption prevents intelligence services from stopping attacks has

by J.D. Tuccille. Serial failed businessman Samuel Clemens might have a lesson or two to offer to his hometown of Hannibal, Missouri.

MOREJohn Stossel: The Anti-Liberty Politicians
Also known as the option destroyers. After a terrorist attack, it's natural to ask: What can politicians do to keep us safe? One thing they could do is actually focus on keeping us safe rather than devoting so much time, energy and hot air to the many things government does instead of protecting lives and property. My state's politicians are ... MORE
