The police brutality spectacle that has pushed Obama’s collapsing presidency out of the news has opened a showing in Phoenix: The deadly shooting of a black, unarmed [see below] drug suspect by a white Phoenix police officer who mistook a pill bottle for a gun demonstrates the challenges law enforcement agencies face at a time […]

While the establishment media keeps us distracted with football and Ferguson, the federal behemoth continues to expand at the expense of our liberty and our standard of living. Already the federal government owns an outrageously high percentage of the land, to the detriment of anyone who would like to create wealth from it (just ask […]

Say liberals are able to confiscate every firearm that is not in the hands of the government or criminals, will they finally be satisfied and leave us alone? Of course not. The reason they call their ideology “progressivism” is that it never stops progressing, since absolute tyranny can never quite be achieved. Next after guns […]

Not all of the money confiscated by the federal government is flushed straight down the toilet. Some of it is strategically targeted toward an explicit purpose. Unfortunately that purpose is often to move the country toward tyranny, as when a National Science Foundation project was used to suspend the Twitter accounts of conservatives: The House […]

When you get used to reading stories like this, the word “totalitarianism” is hardly hyperbole: The federal committee charged with creating nutrition guidelines for Americans is calling for fat interventions at workplaces. During a presentation at the sixth meeting of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) on Friday, the committee said government needs to […]

Despite the Democrat bloodbath, there is some good news for liberals from Tuesday. Berkeley managed to pass a punitive tax on soda pop: Voters approved Measure D, a penny-per-ounce tax, by a 3-to-1 margin after a bitter campaign battle, with the beverage industry spending more than $2.1 million to oppose the initiative. The pro-tax campaign […]

One workable definition of modern “liberalism” is communism by increments: New York politicians say Comcast shouldn’t be allowed to buy Time Warner Cable unless it provides free Internet service to all residents of public housing. In a letter to the state Public Service Commission Wednesday, New York City Public Advocate Letitia James and 21 other […]

The term heavy handed hardly does justice to Big Government in the fundamentally transformed former Land of the Free: When officials in the tiny Town of Stettin in Marathon County [Wisconsin] went to collect a civil judgment from 75-year-old Roger Hoeppner this month, they sent 24 armed officers. And an armored military vehicle. Overkill? Not […]

Not even Winston Smith was asked to put up with this: The federal government is spending more than $2 million to develop wearable insoles and buttons that can track a person’s weight in order to fight obesity. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded grants for two projects that will monitor “lifestyle behavior” through […]

This can’t be America. It must be the Twilight Zone: Hooters drew some unwanted attention last spring when an NLRB administrative law judge ruled in favor of two employees who had been fired for cursing at a co-worker in front of restaurant guests. America is the Land of the Free. In any free country, you […]

The lunacy at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic School in Hamilton, Ontario, where milk, cheese, and eggs have been banned, is not an isolated incident. Parents are enraged over a “safe snack” list imposed at the Sandy Run Middle School in Maple Glen, Pennsylvania: Pupil Services Director Michelle Clegg denied accusations that it was a […]

Remember when liberals used to bark about wanting government out of the bedroom? Now that they are consolidating total control of government, they don’t want it out of anywhere: The California state senate unanimously approved a bill … that defines when “yes” means “yes” to sex. Instead of “no means no” – the phrase commonly […]

Big Government gets its grasping hands into everything — even our cars: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the Department of Transportation, published last week an “advanced notice of proposed rulemaking” on “vehicle-to-vehicle communications.” … In announcing its proposed rulemaking, NHTSA is stressing its intention to protect the “privacy” of American drivers. Uh […]

Enjoy the online world while you can. Soon we will look back on these days as the Golden Age of Internet Freedom. Already Big Government is taking alarming steps to assert control: The federal government is spending nearly $1 million to create an online database that will track “misinformation” and hate speech on Twitter. “Misinformation” […]

Rampant moonbattery has reached the point that Missouri farmers are struggling to secure the right to farm. That’s what necessitates Amendment #1, the Missouri Farming Rights Amendment, which will be voted on tomorrow. A notice sent out Friday by Don Nikodim, Chairman of Missouri Farmers Care, lists some of the many supporters of Amendment #1, […]

Which is scarier and more tyrannical, the Department of Homeland Security or the Environmental Protection Agency? The answer – both working together: In another example of how the Department of Homeland Security has expanded far outside the purview of its original function, six vehicles full of DHS agents were required to seize a Land Rover […]

Progressives are coming for our steaks, our hamburgers, even our beef hotdogs. You know when a blitzkrieg is on the horizon when they soften up the target with a bombing offensive. Instead of sending out the Luftwaffe, modern statists rely on studies by pointy-headed experts (usually funded by the government). This one should alarm anyone […]
