If one were to have believed Al Gore over the past twenty years, one would think that ol’ Mother earth were like the Wicked Witch of the West in “The Wizard of Oz,” that the planet is screaming, “I’m melting! Mellllting!” and bemoaning its destruction because of man’s uncaring use of energy-packed fossil fuels.
But another scientific study has appeared that throws cold water on Gore’s…
If you’re like me, and I know I am, you probably remember CW McCall’s hit protest song, “Convoy.”
It ushered into U.S. parlance CB radio terms like, “Breaker One-Nine” (a reference to Channel 19, the most popular for US truckers at the time) and “Smokey” (a term for police, like “Smokey Bear” and “heat”), as well as “Bear” (another term for police, akin to “the Fuzz” from the inner city…
When I lecture in the field of political economics, I often discuss an important clause in the supposed rulebook of the US Constitution called the “Full Faith and Credit” clause, specifically found in Article Four, Section One.
It reads:
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State.
The idea was that a legal…
Brittany Cooper, an Associate Professor of “Women’s and Gender Studies” and “African Studies” at Rutgers (really) just hit it big via NPR and a TED Talk discussing, get this, her belief that “time is racist”.
No joke.
Admittedly, her theory goes much wider and deeper than her insulting intro, which centers on what she calls “CP time”. But let’s begin there:
In the African-American…
History has shown that when they need cash – which is always – politicians won’t operate like business people.
They won’t offer things in exchange for voluntary patronage. They take the money through taxation, inflationary money-creation (stealing from your buying power), or borrowing, thus forcing future taxpayers to pay the bill. As a result, they’re continually searching for new ways to…
If you’re unfortunate enough to read CNN news pieces, you might know that a lone, firebrand-style county Sheriff in Colorado is promising to not enforce the state’s proposed “Red Flag” gun confiscation law if it passes – which it very well could.
According to CNN’s Scott McLean and Sara Weisfeldt:
Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams disagrees so much with a gun bill making its way…
For a few glittering days last week, one might have thought that Donald Trump and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos stood apart from the crowing crowd in DC and understood the difference between charity and government force.
They appeared willing to cut $17.6 million in federal handouts to the private non-profit organization, The Special Olympics. If they had, this long marathon of false…
On Feb 13, I reported on the passage by the New Jersey legislature of the so-called “Rain Tax,” a law that allows local municipalities to literally tax property owners for the potential runoff that could be shed from their property and “managed” by those governments.
Guess what? Democrat Gov. Phil “RainMan” Murphy just signed it into law.
What will it do? Well, as Scott Fallon writes for…
Many of us experienced shock, anger, and disbelief upon discovering that some of the most despotic regimes in written record literally erased dissidents from history. Stalin’s mass murder included the erasure of one-time allies such as his former head of secret police Nikolai Yezhov. Hitler’s terror campaign included the erasure of propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels – both of whom were…
On March 19, Obama-appointed D.C. Federal District Judge Rudolf Contreras blocked the Trump administration from allowing oil exploration on 500 square miles (300,000 acres) of land the feds claim in Wyoming.
His reason?
The bogeymen of carbon dioxide and “Anthropogenic Climate Change.”
The court in “Wildearth Guardians , et al. v Zinke et al.” issued a Memorandum of Summary Judgment in…
