THOMAS SOWELL: Predatory Journalism
The New York Times is again on the warpath against what it calls “predatory lending.” Just what is predatory lending? It is lending that charges a higher interest rate than people like those at the New York Times approve of. According to such thinking — or lack of thinking — the answer is to have…

American Boots on the Ground: A Moral Basis
Americans can see or hear about dozens of terrorist acts every day. They can tune in to their favorite TV shows or go to the local cinema and be bombarded with violence and mayhem endlessly. Perhaps these events should be called “virtual terrorism.” Consider this as you read more. Americans can also, of course, tune…

THOMAS SOWELL: Irresponsible So Called ‘Education’
Goddard College’s recent decision to have its students addressed from prison by a convicted cop killer is just one of many unbelievably irresponsible self-indulgences by “educators” in our schools and colleges. Such “educators” teach minorities born with an incredibly valuable windfall gain — American citizenship — that they are victims who have a grievance against…

Earth to Obama – “Islam sucks!”
I don’t care how many times Barack Hussein Obama (not to mention his mindless hack John Kerry) lectures us on how “beautiful” and “tolerant” the religion of “peace” is–my mindset will forever remain immutable: Islam sucks! Yeah, that’s right: Islam sucks! From the time Mohammed raped his child bride Aisha to the myriad beheadings perpetrated…

Obama, Ebola, Politicizing a Plague
If President Obama does not want the Ebola virus to kill Americans, why has his administration done nothing to restrict any flights from Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, the hot spots in Africa where it appears the virus is spreading? One of the reason flights from Liberia were not stopped, we have been told, was…

BIG GOV’T IN TEXAS: Houston Demands Pastors Turn Over Sermon Notes
After decades of warnings on the right about liberal politicians threatening religious liberty, a Democratic mayor in Texas is now subpoenaing pastors to turn over their sermons. Houston city officials are demanding that city pastors opposed to Houston’s “Bathroom Bill”–“a law that allows members of the opposite sex into each other’s restrooms”–turn over sermon notes…

POLICE STATE USA: Creation Of The Department Of Homeland Security
An inverse relationship exists between power wielded by Government and a Citizenry’s freedom from Government’s exercise of that power. As Government accumulates power, there is a concomitant loss of freedom and liberty in the Citizenry. The Founders of the American Republic knew this. As power waxes unchecked in Government, the liberties and freedoms of Americans, written in stone in the Bill…

Look Who’s Data Mining Your Toddlers
Attention, parents: Have your little ones been subjected to “TS Gold” in school yet? If you care about student privacy, data mining and classroom intrusions, you might want to start asking questions and protecting your children now before it’s too late. What’s happening here in Colorado with this onerous testing regime is happening everywhere. Informed…

The Supreme Court, Not Supreme Wisdom
I am not a lawyer, but I have read the Constitution and I cannot find any indication that the Founding Fathers intended the guarantee of “equal protection of the laws” in the 14th Amendment to include same-sex marriage. The idea would have been regarded as an abomination to the men who created the Constitution. To…

Mainstream Newspapers Dupe The Public On Gun Debate
It is a curious fact that mainstream newspapers consistently fail to provide their readers with logically sound arguments to support their case against civilian ownership of guns. Rather, these newspapers prefer to recite banal normative prescriptions, empty slogans, and vague statements devoid of any meaningful content. They take as a given that civilian gun ownership is untenable. And upon that faulty foundation they spout pious sentiments and posit specious…

Obama’s Master Plan With Eric Holder ~ SCOTUS
Last week, I discussed how I believe Rush Limbaugh was right in saying that Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation is not in any way a simple bon voyage. Rather, it is a deliberate ploy to maneuver him into an even greater place of influence, possibly even the Supreme Court. The most obvious replacement on the…

All Hail – President Ebola
What does it tell you when Britain and France have stopped flights to and from the nations in Africa where Ebola has become a threat and the United States has not taken a similar measure? What does it tell you when the President sends 3,000 U.S. troops on a “humanitarian” mission to West Africa? It…

Stop Rape Culture…With A Gun, Not A Whistle
Some so called feminists on Twitter claimed that women’s self defense enables rape culture. Rather than teaching women to defend themselves, they said we should simply teach men not to rape. We only need to tell predators “Don’t hurt others” rather than teaching women to be aware, avoid trouble when they can, and to defend…

ISIS Supporters in America: The Jihadis Next Door?
In recent months, as ISIS began executing Western hostages and dialing up multiple threats to attack property and citizens in the U.S., Vocativ’s analysts have been using our deep web technology to uncover a potential ISIS presence in America. Two Americans have been charged in the past month with allegedly attempting to hatch attacks against American targets on behalf of ISIS,…

During An Ebola Pandemic All Of Your Rights Would Essentially Be Meaningless
If there is a major Ebola pandemic in America, all of the liberties and the freedoms that you currently enjoy would be gone. If government officials believe that you have the virus, federal law allows them to round you up and detain you “for such time and in such manner as may be reasonably necessary.” …

America Has Forgotten That Freedom Is Not Free
I was struck by the photo I saw today of the hundreds of thousands of people jamming the streets of Hong Kong, risking their lives to protest the loss of freedom due to recent actions by the Chinese government. The protests consist of mostly students, but many Hong Kong residents have joined them in recent…

Second Amendment Vs. Islamic State In Oklahoma
War On Terror: The Islamic State’s call for “lone wolf” attacks on Western infidels might have met its match in the Second Amendment, as an armed man saves lives by shooting a jihadist wannabe bent on heeding that call. Vaughan Foods employee Traci Johnson is alive today because the business she works for is not…
