It would be easy to pass this off as more short-sighted, politically correct thinking on the part of bureaucrats in the UK, but the issue goes much deeper, and has much darker implications about the UK and western populations that do not recognize the distinction between society and the state. Steve Bird, of the Telegraph.UK, recently reported on the stunning, but not unexpected, story of a…

One of the great and forgotten principles of freedom is that it is supposed to apply across all peaceful human action. So when a person who truly believes in freedom talks about it, he knows it applies to not just speech – as leftists used to believe – but also peaceful market transactions, and that includes education. Left to their own devices, individuals will show any interest they have…

    US politicians swear oaths to protect and defend their supposed rule book, the US Constitution. Yet, for over a century (and during various periods prior to that), the US government has given a central bank the power to dictate the currency we are allowed to use in market transactions.  But the legislature of Wyoming is fighting back. As Joe Wolverton II reports for The New American,…

An oft-asked and ill-informed question that collectivists present to liberty-minded people is the tired old saw of, “If government doesn't do it, who would build the roads?"  To which we often reply, in part, “You mean those roads that are in terrible disrepair, see money syphoned to other projects, and, when they do see repairs, also see the state-funded projects take ages and go way over…

Remember when the dinosaur pop media threw fits of ultra-fear and rancorous anger upon finding out that President Trump was pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord – an “accord” that was not a treaty, was founded on fraudulent and manipulated data, and was merely a back door to a worldwide tax on the use of energy? Yeah, we remember, as well. So it’s worth mentioning to all the hand-wringers…

Glorious news! Following in the footsteps of the Obama-approved and promoted “Portman-Murphy Counter-Propaganda Act” of 2016, which sets aside over $150 million in federal tax funds to hand to dinosaur news media outlets, the legislature of New Jersey is finally ready to do its part! Isn’t that exciting? Absolutely! As Joe Setyon reports for Reason, both the NJ House and Senate recently…

On Thursday, June 28, the California Supreme Court shot down an attempt to overturn a state law mandating something that gun makers literally cannot do.  And in Delphic wisdom, the justices taught us some important lessons about judicial review, why politicians pass such laws, and what special interests the laws favor. As the Associated Press reports: The California Supreme Court threw out a…

Ahh, summer. Ice cream. Outdoor concerts. Hikes. So many things to love, why not add one more, at taxpayer expense, and make sure it’s infused with as much contemporary social justice labeling and accusations of subliminal racial “unfairness” as possible? Why not head to Humboldt State University in Arcata, California, for one of their many “workshops” designed to foster “positive white racial…

  The human capacity to feel pity, to show care, to check anger and disgust, and, instead, try to perform the Christian act of loving thy neighbor, is infinite but variable. It rises and falls above a horizontal axis like a sine wave, and our stores of kindness can become depleted when continually tested by arrogant, hubristic, irksome, dangerous people. Like Hillary Clinton. Last week,…

If you wondered whether the tragic story of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas school murders in Parkland, Florida could get more frustrating, CBSNews reports that it has. According to CBS, Andrew Medina, one of the “security guards” who had been tasked with keeping unarmed students and staff safe at the school, not only did not do his job, he was suspended last year for sexually harassing two female…
