While the primaries keep us entertained by degenerating into a circus act, the garrote around our throats continues to be pulled ever tighter: The Department of Labor has proposed a rule that would restrict what advice a financial expert could give to employees, a move that would cost middle-class savers $80 billion in lost savings, […]

As Shrillary likes to shriek, it takes a village to raise a child. That is to say, it takes a bloated, intrusive, authoritarian federal bureaucracy. But don’t worry, parents — for now Big Government regards you as equal partners in the raising of your children: The federal government is seeking to create a new bureaucracy […]

Thankfully they have refrained from ham-fisted military attacks like the one that killed 76 Americans at Waco. But the behavior of the Feds during the Oregon standoff has not been exemplary: This week, Harney County Fire Marshall Chris Briels resigned after discovering undercover FBI agents posing as militia members near the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, […]

In case media leftists have managed to create confusion as to who are the bad guys regarding the events that led to the occupation at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, readers are referred to a local account of the conflict from last fall, before outrage boiled over: The latest scene involved two ranchers being sentenced to […]

When freedom of speech comes to an end on the Internet, it will be under the guise of suppressing “hate speech” — which in practice means speech leftists hate. Angela Merkel’s treasonous importation of up to 1.5 million largely unskilled, unassimilable, terror-prone Islamic colonists has unsurprisingly resulted in plenty of speech that meets that definition. […]

What will be next on the agenda after ObamaCare collapses the health insurance industry, leading as planned to socialist healthcare? Will oligarchical collectivists go after the food supply? Maybe their next target will be housing. From The Nation: Let’s get rid of private housing. Plenty of time and effort have lately gone into analyzing a […]

Here we go. First comes demonization from the media and politically motivated “experts.” Then come the taxes and bans. From once great Britain: A sugar tax must be slapped on fizzy drinks and supermarkets should be banned from selling discounted junk food to tackle the child obesity crisis, MPs say today. In a major report, […]

This is a direct indictment of both our culture and our educational system, which have been taken over by people hostile to our values as a country and are not inculcating those values to our kids. We’re going to pay a price for this down the road… A recent study conducted by the Pew Research […]

Some people find the term anarchotyranny confusing, because it appears to be an oxymoron. The Obama Regime makes it easier to understand by providing illustration: Last week the administration started releasing the first wave of 6,000 drug convicts who will get out of jail early. In all, about 50,000 prisoners are eligible for early release […]

We’ve seen lemonade stands shut down by the authorities again and again and again and again, apparently lest kids grow up thinking they can generate their own wealth rather than feed off the government. But surely a big shot celebrity like Jerry Seinfeld could get away with a lemonade stand — or maybe not. His […]

Taking effective measures to protect us from terrorism would be Islamophobic, but at least the authorities are keeping us safe from Minion Fart Blaster guns: A three-year-old boy learnt the harsh reality of airport security after having his Minion toy gun confiscated because officials said it posed ‘a threat’. Toddler Leo Fitzpatrick was left distraught […]

Under liberal rule, the erstwhile Land of the Free becomes less free every year: A new report on the freedom of countries around the world ranks the United States 20th, putting countries like Chile and the United Kingdom ahead of the U.S. At this point, the American Revolution appears not to have turned out as […]
