<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n
\nConcordia College rejected a student’s NRA-affiliated gun club because advocating for the Second Amendment allegedly conflicts with the school’s institutional support for gun control.<\/p>\n<\/a>Hide the Decline<\/h1>\n
Environment &
\n“Green Energy”<\/h2>\n
\nTheir true colors shine brightly.<\/p>\n
\nFYI, apparently sometime after a March for Science went past our building at UAH, 7 shots were fired and hit the floor John Christy is on. No witnesses. I’m assuming late night Saturday or Sunday.<\/p>\n
\nA former member of the Obama administration claims Washington, D.C., often uses “misleading” news releases about climate data to influence public opinion.<\/p>\n
\nSigns are mounting that US President Donald Trump’s administration may stay in the landmark Paris climate change accord of 2015, under pressure from big business and public support for the agreement.<\/p>\n
\nGovernments giving millions or even billions to corporations is nothing new. Giving outright grants, awarding “loans” no one really believes will be repaid, even \u201cabove-market\u201d payments for goods and services are all decades-old ways of slipping cash to private-sector players.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n
Government in Healthcare<\/h2>\n
\nFor a patient looking to see a doctor for any given medical procedure, costs often vary wildly based on the facility or physician.<\/p>\n

\nThe entire U.S. Senate has been invited to the White House for a briefing Wednesday on the North Korea situation.<\/p>\n
\nA man shot in the leg during a 2015 terrorist attack is pushing the FBI to explain why one of its agents was at the scene and did nothing, and if the agent was filming the incident for the terrorists as part of his undercover work of trying to infiltrate the group.<\/p>\n
\nFor Westerners, North Korea is perennially on and off of the headlines. This year, the confluence of a new US president, the US missile attack in response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria, and an apparently in-your-face program of missile and nuclear tests on the part of North Korea has returned the world’s last Stalinist state to comment threads and coffee-room speculation. Military professionals obviously follow these events even more closely, and Maj. ML Cavanaugh’s recent thoughtful pieces for MWI serve as an example.<\/p>\n
\nThe claim seems to be this is just a “protest;” it’s just that they had to break into the Hertiage building to hold the “protest” in the lobby.<\/p>\n
\nProtesters demanding a “budget for the people” stormed the offices of the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\nThe Daily Caller posted a Facebook live video from the Heritage Foundation where Leftist protesters took over the main lobby and began chanting and shouting in protest of the President and GOP Congress’s proposed budget.<\/p>\n
\n“Our solution to pollution is the people\u2019s revolution”<\/p>\n
\nCall it the Osirak Precedent: a preemptive conventional attack on nuclear facilities can delay and possibly destroy a rogue dictatorship’s nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n
\nThe US could be playing with fire on the Korean Peninsula with its latest move against the Kim regime \u2014 and that means below the 38th Parallel as well as above it. Rather than wait for the May 9th presidential election following the impeachment and removal of Park Geun-hye, US and South Korean security forces installed the THAAD system, apparently making it operational. <\/p>\n
\nLieutenant was arrested on suspicion of disguising himself as Syrian migrant<\/p>\n
\nA Russian naval intelligence ship sank Thursday after colliding with a merchant freighter in foggy conditions on the Black Sea near Istanbul, the Turkish coast guard said. All 78 crew members on the Russian vessel were rescued.<\/p>\n
\nSecretary of State Rex Tillerson said “business as usual” with North Korea “is not an option” Thursday, at a special session of the United Nations Security Council.<\/p>\n
\nMontenegro’s parliament has voted to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, to the consternation of Moscow. The tiny Balkan nations ascension was ratified by the U.S. Congress in March. <\/p>\n<\/a>National<\/h1>\n
\nWelp, they’ve done it. The Democrats have finally confirmed that they will no longer support pro-life candidates from their party.<\/p>\n
\nIf making people prove their innocence to get their property back violates due process, what about civil forfeiture?<\/p>\n
\nStudents threaten to riot <\/p>\n
\nPassengers on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train were robbed, and in some cases beaten, when dozens of juveniles stormed aboard the train and forced them to give up their property, police said.<\/p>\n

\nA Clemson administrator has proposed requiring student government candidates to pass an “intercultural competency” test before being permitted to run for or hold office.<\/p>\n
\nBritish scientists have discovered a potential cause for multiple sclerosis, in a major breakthrough that could pave the way for new treatments for the disease.<\/p>\n
\nAnyone who thinks it’s enough to rest an argument on “settled science” or a “scientific consensus” ought to read about John Yudkin.<\/p>\n
\nRobots can be just as biased as humans, according to a recent study conducted at Princeton University that uncovered gender and racial bias in an Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine.<\/p>\n
\nStudents at Pomona College have published a letter demanding that administrators rescind their offer to hire Sociology Professor Alice Goffman because she’s white.<\/p>\n
\nU.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today introduced the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order (EL CHAPO) Act. The bill would reserve any amounts forfeited to the U.S. Government as a result of the criminal prosecution of “El Chapo” (formally named Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Lorea) and other drug lords for border security assets and the completion of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. <\/p>\n
\nA federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to withhold funding from “sanctuary cities” that do not cooperate with U.S. immigration officials, saying the president has no authority to attach new conditions to federal spending.<\/p>\n
\nThis week marks 25 years since the nation watched Los Angeles effectively go up in flames as a wave of violence and lawlessness shut down portions of the city. There were more than 2,000 injuries along with massive property destruction adding up to the billions. That’s why it’s rather curious that the LA Times chooses to provide something of a sympathetic or even apologist retrospective this week, complete with interviews with “activists” who want the spirit of Rodney King to know that he’s “not forgotten.”<\/p>\n
\nAbout 2,000 educators, social justice warriors and other activists will descend on Kansas City this weekend for the 18th annual National White Privilege Conference, a three-day discussion about how “white supremacy” ruins the world.<\/p>\n
\nA University of Florida student was docked points on a history paper for using the word “man” instead of a gender-neutral alternative such as “humankind.”<\/p>\n
\nAvoid puns<\/p>\n
\nFew active conservatives awarded Truman scholarships<\/p>\n
\nOne of the biggest perks of living in the USA, besides freedom and apple pie, is not having to pay attention to the columns of Leah McLaren at The Globe and Mail. Apparently her relatively high-profile writings have been victimizing our neighbors up north for years.<\/p>\n
\nA third flag will join the U.S. and Florida ones on Wednesday at Belleview’s City Hall to honor Confederate History Day<\/p>\n
\nIt would appear to be a David and Goliath fight over property rights, but a furry little rodent is currently whipping the landowners of Thurston County, Washington.<\/p>\n
\nWhen 4chan users are not busy sharing and discussing anime pornography, they can be some of the most efficient crowdsourcing researchers on the web. The \/pol\/ board in particular was able to find the exact location of an ISIS camp just by clues in a recruitment video. Their research reportedly led to a successful airstrike on the location.<\/p>\n
\nGone are the days when saying something that hurts another\u2019s feelings is a bias incident. Now just looking at someone funny can get you reported to the campus Thought Police.<\/p>\n
\nWe’ll get you in trouble with the feds<\/p>\n
\nThe Democrats are spending millions on all of the special elections that are being held to fill seats vacated by House members who have been appointed to positions in the Trump administration. They see these elections as a way to symbolically repudiate Donald Trump, and they think that by deploying their vast financial resources, they can steal a seat or two that they wouldn’t normally win.<\/p>\n
\nA geology professor at Pomona College is pledging to use racial preferences to decide which students to accept into a class with a strict enrollment cap.<\/p>\n
\nA transgender person at the University of California, Berkeley was recently filmed threatening members of the College Republicans who mistakenly referred to him as a man.<\/p>\n

\nVincent Wetzel, president of the Orange Coast College Republicans, recently stood before the leaders of his college and declared that as a homosexual Hispanic from a low-income household, he faces discrimination on campus – for being a Republican.<\/p>\n
\nThis is such a sick and pathetic story.<\/p>\n
\nIf you haven’t watched it in a while (or ever) Marvel’s Agents of Shield has become a running commentary on the Trump administration, complete with references to Fox News and the progressive meme “she persisted.”<\/p>\n
\nProfessor Laura Kipnis is an unlikely opponent of Title IX. However, the self-described liberal had to fend off two Title IX investigations herself, and is now a vocal critic of the law.<\/p>\n
\nThe left-wing activists behind the anti-conservative riots at Berkeley have ties to one of the nation’s most prominent pro-pedophilia organizations.<\/p>\n
\nWendy’s Twitter account is as savage and as hilarious as ever when it comes to trolling. With the latest high-profile exchange, an artist became inspired to draw up the Wendy’s redhead mascot as a smug anime girl.<\/p>\n
\nConservative leader Jim DeMint is reportedly out as the head of The Heritage Foundation.<\/p>\n
\nParents of students at a Florida middle school are livid after learning a substitute teacher was accused of masturbating during class and they weren’t notified about the incident.<\/p>\n

\nFirst of all, no matter the intent, this has no place in a classroom.<\/p>\n
\nAs I’ve posted in the past, the Trump administration\u2019s combining stepped up enforcement with skillful public information campaigns in Central America have reduced attempts to cross the border with Mexico to near record levels without spending a single dollar on a wall or on more Border Patrol agents. In short, it shows that our current laws are sufficient to make major headway towards border security so long as someone, like Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, has the guts to enforce them.<\/p>\n
\nCAIR-sponsored “Muslim Day at the Capitol” takes its place.<\/p>\n<\/a>Economy & Taxes<\/h1>\n
\nSit down for this man-bites-dog story: California’s government actually made a sensible decision last week.<\/p>\n
\nRegulation tends to add to overhead, hurting small businesses, protecting big businesses and spurring consolidation. The Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill tried to deal with the various economies of scale and the differing systemic importance of large and small banks by regulating bigger banks more than smaller banks.<\/p>\n
\nOnline shopping wins out.<\/p>\n
\nThe Bank of America’s survey of 1,300 small business owners finds a dramatic increase in optimism resulting from the election of President Trump and the Republican Congress.<\/p>\n

\nA social thinker illuminates his country’s populist divide.<\/p>\n
\nVenezuela cannot wake up from its socialist nightmare.<\/p>\n
\nIt was a Saturday. Pele Kristiansen spent the morning at home, drinking beers and hanging out with his older brother, which wasn’t so unusual. There wasn’t a lot of work in town. A lot of people drank. In the afternoon, they heard someone banging on their door, yelling.<\/p>\n
\nAmid all of Venezuela’s problems, the country is running out of time and money.<\/p>\n
