Saturday, August 19, was the day that the “Second Free Speech Rally” was held at Boston Common, a rally that saw the arrival of 10 times as many opponents as attendees and speakers, opponents who said they went there to “stand against” fascism and racism, and “resist hate” -- which seems great to those who watch news from the surface and know that any “free speech rally” put on by anyone who…
It may stun many folks, but the Reverend Al Sharpton -- the very man who has had a checkered past for pushing for larger government welfare programs even as he misses his tax payments, and for being involved with the racially charged Tawana Brawley sham in New York, back in 1987, yet who was consistently gracious enough to calmly chat with reporters from the legendary conservative paper Human…
Let’s begin this piece is by offering a quote:
The statements from the caseworker and the judge are simply outrageous. This amounts to coercion, with a child as their bartering chip. I cannot recall ever hearing anything so offensive and egregious, and we’ve handled cases like this in the past… Blatantly telling someone they must give up their civil rights in order to care for their own…
The story behind the creation of the novel “Frankenstein” is legendary. In 1973, a U.S. government committee got together and, upon discussing what would be most politically expedient, voted to take tax money from citizens and give it to an NPR hostess named Mary Shelley to write a book that could hit the Oprah list and be featured on The View.

Can it be true? Health care costs are projected to shoot higher?!

Many of us know that the Nobel Prize is frequently used for political ends, rather than to award actual achievement in a field. Hence why the “Peace Prize” went to Barack Obama for promoting collectivism cloaked in the euphemism of “bringing people together” prior to him entering the White House.
So why should it come as a surprise that 10 years after Al Gore won his shiny medallion and cash…
If people need new shoes to protect their feet, they usually shop competing shoe sellers, and their purchases send signals about quality and price to others. If folks need groceries, they shop grocery stores or farm stands, etc., and send similar signals. We all make independent decisions and shop around.
But for some unfathomable reason, since the late 1800s in the US, parents have been either…

Lobstermen along much of the New England coast breathed sighs of relief the morning of August 9, when they awoke to discover that, contrary to expectations, a regulatory commission decided not to impose new limits on lobster catches from New Hampshire to Connecticut.
Despite this momentary breather, though, the threat of future arbitrary traps looms. But the…
You know that cheesy lottery machine voice that hollers, “Congratulations! You’re a Winner!” to the person in front of you at the convenience store taking far too long dealing with the state numbers scam? Well, on July 31, the gleaming, financially ruined, city of Los Angeles heard that message from the Olympic lords.
So congrats, L.A. and California taxpayers! You’ve just won even more…
