<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n
\nA federal appeals court Wednesday upheld California’s 10-day waiting period and background check for existing gun owners and those with concealed-weapons permits, ruling that it did not violate the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n
\nRemember when the anti-gunners claimed they only wanted background checks? Looks like they are already back for more. After spending almost 20 million dollars to narrowly pass Question 1, anti-gun groups and advocates are already beating the drum for more gun control in the Silver State. Over the weekend, the Las Vegas Sun published an editorial advocating for a ban on so-called “high capacity” magazines. The article shows the arbitrary nature of their demands by stating they would be fine with either a 10 or 15 round limitation. Well which is it, 10 or 15? Why not 15 or 20? <\/p>\n
\n“The bill now goes to Gov. John Kasich’s desk for his signature.”<\/p>\n

\nBald eagles are a protected species. Killing them is a crime, and criminal prosecutions are not rare. But it’s a different story if you are a wind energy company.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n
Government in Healthcare<\/h2>\n
\n“Unsafe” features a detailed analysis of hundreds of reports from state health inspectors, showing that abortion clinics have been routinely cited for risking women’s health and safety.<\/p>\n
\nThe White Coats for Black Lives website declares racism to be a “national health crisis” or “issue,” in one instance calling it “one of the major health problems in the United States.”<\/p>\n
\nA few days ago, Sarah Kliff of Vox published a sort of cartoon guide to pharmaceutical pricing, which I recommend. The basic arguments will probably be familiar to readers of this column, but her stick figures make an important point: When we talk about what to do about pharmaceutical prices, we have to think hard about the trade-offs we’re willing to make.<\/p>\n<\/a>War & Terror<\/h1>\n
\nThe nuclear specter of China has always been India’s overwhelming consideration.<\/p>\n

\nTwenty years ago, Newt Gingrich and allies pushing the self-styled Contract with America created an obscure but potent legislative weapon to help Republicans combat what they deemed to be out-of-control regulatory overreach in Washington.<\/p>\n
\nStudents at the University of Pennsylvania removed a portrait of Shakespeare from a prominent location in the school’s English department after complaining that he did not represent a diverse range of writers.<\/p>\n
\nLosing Steam After Marx and Freud: on entropy as the horizon of the community to come<\/p>\n
\nGravitational wave data show tentative signs of firewalls or other exotic physics<\/p>\n
\nThe federal agency that handles deportations spent more than $100 million of its money over the last few years to ferry illegal immigrant children around the U.S., according to calculations by a watchdog group that says the cash could have been better spent on enforcement.<\/p>\n
\nColorado’s nine electors must vote for Hillary Clinton because she won the state’s popular vote, a judge ruled Tuesday, effectively stopping the state’s electors from joining a longshot effort to unite with Republicans behind a compromise presidential candidate other than Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
\nVoting machines in more than one-third of all Detroit precincts registered more votes than they should have during last month\u2019s presidential election, according to Wayne County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News.<\/p>\n
\nLast Summer’s heated debate over North Carolina’s controversial “bathroom bill” inspired the University of California, Berkeley to devote an entire course to the “politics of needing to go.”<\/p>\n

\nAs results rolled in on election night, most political consultants and commentators were caught off guard by the victory of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
\nYeshiva University President Richard Joel has now condemned Shapiro as well for refusing to abide by politically correct falsities about gender.<\/p>\n
\nIf you ask Harry Reid who cost Hillary Clinton the election, it was James Comey. If you ask the mainstream media, it was Russia.<\/p>\n
\nDuring the GOP primaries, Donald Trump tweeted that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was a “lightweight” who “didn’t get the right gene” from his father, Ron Paul, and did not belong on the Republican debate stage, but should instead “focus on trying to get elected in Kentucky – a great state which is embarrassed by him.”<\/p>\n

\nSo the scramble is on to find top talent to play President-elect Trump’s inaugural event. I’m sure Ted Nugent and Kid Rock are willing to play, but it would seem the Trump team were hoping for a little more.
