Shrink the State. End the Fed. Balance the budget. Make a profit. Leave an inheritance.

Think of the cell phone as unleashing a million Rodney King videos. As citizens grab their cell phones to make YouTube-ready copies of bureaucrats’ unconstitutional imposition of force, the bureaucrats are going on the defensive. There is a kind of cold war going on. Every time the bureaucrats impose new restrictions on cell phones, cell […]

The Department of Transportation, a federal agency, has just given $275,000 each to the governments of Massachusetts and Connecticut to study drivers who text while driving. Why don’t those two governments fund their own studies? Why does the federal government get involved? Because the feds plan to get all of the states involved in anti-texting […]

I’ll bet you don’t remember Walter B. Jones. I do. I’m a history buff, with a Ph.D. to prove it. Back in 1956, a member of the Electoral College from Alabama was determined not to cast his vote for Adlai Stevenson. So he voted for Walter B. Jones, an Alabama judge. Therefore, Jones’ name is […]

A federal judge has decided that a prisoner in a Massachusetts prison for having killed his wife is suffering emotionally. He is really a woman, hormonally speaking. So great is the suffering, the judge determined, that the taxpayers of Massachusetts must pay for a sex-change operation. Incarcerated rapists in prisons around the nation are strongly […]

This manifesto sounds mostly Tea Party-like. It has only one obviously anti-free market provision: Public and private sector labor unions which have been under open attack by the government since the Reagan administration, by hostile anti-union private employers such as Wal-Mart, and more recently by some Republican governors. All the rest is straight Tea Party. […]

The National Security Agency, known as NSA (“No Such Agency”), is allowed to tap the communications of Americans, but only insofar as they are dealing with people outside the USA. For over five years, the NSA has been monitoring the communications of Americans who were communicating only inside the USA. The Electronic Freedom Foundation has […]

I went to see 2016: Obama’s America. Dinesh D’Souza wrote, stars in, directed, narrates, and did the original research for it. If we look at this from the point of view of its success as a documentary, I think it is effective. It is making money in theaters. This is amazing for a documentary. It […]

Agenda 21 is a global land-use planning proposal of the United Nations Organization. It came into existence in 1992 as part of the global warming agenda. George H. W. Bush signed it, but it has never been introduced to the Senate by any President for ratification. Bush, Sr., was a great proponent of the New […]

President Obama’s executive order on illegal immigration breaks existing federal laws on immigration. So say the President of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents and Officers Union and nine other agents. They have taken their case into the federal courts. They are suing the head of the Department of Homeland Security, who is enforcing the […]

I love to hear stories like these. They reveal the utter cultural otherworldliness of atheists. There is an allegation — one that has reached all the way from Georgia to Wisconsin — that a varsity high school football coach allows local churches to prepare pre-game meals for his football team. It also alleges that the […]
