In 2014, Colorado was the first U.S. state to decriminalize marijuana for more than medical use, so one might think that folks in its capital city of Denver would be inclined to be “hands off” when it comes to even less controversial chemicals that people might voluntarily buy, sell, or ingest.
Nope.
Denver police recently swarmed upon the Knowles brothers to stop a dangerous, aggressive act.…
Back in the distant, misty days of ancient 1990s America, when Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy series was at the height of popularity, folks seemed to catch a strange affliction, sometimes called by medical experts, “Seinfeld Syndrome,” wherein they would suddenly break out in his tone of voice, and imitate his most famous line, “What’s the deal?”
That phrase is coming back. Applied by folks who are…
Poor Bill Nye. If only bow ties made one adept at science…
And economics…
And linguistics.
If Bill Nye’s flatulent first season Netflix dance routine featuring Rachel Bloom and her termagant “sex junk” didn’t sufficiently call into question his reliability and wisdom as a purveyor of science and empiricism, his new interview with The Daily Beast certainly does. In it, Nye, a vegan and hand…
Postmodernism exposed its hypocritical, Marxist heart in Canada on May 18, during a Munk Debate about “Political Correctness” (PC) between a team in favor of PC behavior and policy, and a team against it. The team in favor was composed of journalist Michelle Goldberg and Georgetown University sociology professor (and minister) Michael Eric Dyson (PhD), while the team opposed featured British…
On May 17, 29 Republican Senators joined their Democrat “colleagues” to block Ran Paul’s (R-Ky) proposal to balance the federal budget in five years, reinforcing what we have known for a long time:
The bulk of lawmakers in DC's country club infrastructure have been selling snake oil each time they claimed they were for “smaller government”.
As Warren Mass reports for The New American:
Paul’s…
Sometimes, liberty-minded individuals raise their hands in consternation and proclaim, “I’ve had enough”. The assaults to freedom, and the twisted, belly-crawling, shameless excuses politicians inflict on us are just too frequent, the insults infinitely debased and insulting.
Our self-serving pal, Chris Murphy, a Democrat Senator from Connecticut, has provided us with yet another of those “…
Imagine you make a contract with someone for protection services. You both sign it, and then, a few weeks later, the other party tells you he’s going to take more of your money than what was originally agreed. He tells you he’s “interpreting” the word “protection” in a new, modern, way, and that also means that he’s “protecting” you from your own choices.
Some might liken that situation to…
Supporters of the President might feel uncomfortable reading about it, but, as with his campaign rhetoric to reduce U.S. interventionism and stop the attempt to overthrow the government of Syria, President Trump has folded on another important issue -- this time, one that pertains to economics and the Constitution.
This month, he allowed to become “law” the Obama-proposed mandates that all…
Antifederalist Robert Yates, a New York judge during the era of the Articles of Confederation who wrote under the name “Brutus” in opposition to the centralizing tendencies of the Constitution, warned that the central government would not only breach our rights, but also that judges in America would excuse those breaches.
He was correct. In fact, he and his other Antifederalist allies…
A small portion of the population sometimes forgets that the capital of the California state government is not Los Angeles, but is, in fact, Sacramento, many miles north of Tinseltown.
But the power of the L.A. left (and that of the leftists from the San Francisco area) to steer the state into economic ruin is manifest in Sacramento, so there’s not much difference, and it’s one of the reasons…
