Socialism by the Slice
A Boston pizza shop that strove to “solve the root problem of widening economic disparities through innovative alternatives” (whatever that means) is closing its doors after just two years of serving up economic justice and failure. In so doing, Dudley Dough is providing us free of charge with a delicious example of how socialism can’t work, no matter how you try to spin it. I’m not an… → Read More
The End of the Boy Scouts
We all knew this was coming. The Boy Scouts of America stood for over a century on its strong foundation of Judeo-Christian values, growing boys into young men, and young men into leaders. However, in recent years the BSA has allowed cracks to form in that foundation. From the lifting of the ban on openly gay boys from joining the organization, to the sanctioning of openly gay adult leaders, to… → Read More
Don’t Save Net Neutrality
Take care when cruising the information super-highway today. The left has littered it with deception and misdirection intended to confuse you on the issue of so-called “net neutrality.” A large coalition of Internet giants is pushing hard today for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to preserve “net neutrality” rules implemented under the previous presidential administration. These… → Read More

CAIR Wants the Air Force to Stop Teaching Anti-Terrorism
Apparently teaching a class to the military on terrorism is now “Islamophobic.” Patrick Dunleavy is an instructor at the U.S. Air Force Special Operations School at Hurlburt Field, Florida. He teaches a class on “The Dynamics of International Terrorism.” Mr. Dunleavy’s specialty is on the subject of radicalization of Muslims in American prisons. He must be pretty effective because CAIR, the… → Read More
California’s Single-Payer Healthcare System Will Run on Magic
Last month, California State Senator Ricardo Lara (Democrat) introduced a single-payer healthcare system to the state legislature. Today Mr. Lara has revealed details about how that plan will work. The plan, currently known as the “Healthy California Act,” will eliminate health insurance competition from the state and force all Californians to have health insurance. No, this isn’t a joke.… → Read More
CORRUPTION ALERT: Planned Parenthood Donated Thousands to California AG
Remember earlier this week when California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (Democrat) shockingly charged the Planned Parenthood whistleblowers from the Center for Medical Progress with multiple felonies instead of Planned Parenthood itself? Remember how strange that seemed considering that profiting from the sale of human body parts is illegal? It seems that it could be a simple misapplication… → Read More
After Seeing Undercover Videos, Police Finally Investigates…
…Foster Farms. What? Did you think I was going to say Planned Parenthood? All Planned Parenthood did was murder babies and sell their body parts for profit. It’s not like they abused chickens or anything. Last year Foster Farms did, however. The Fresno County sheriff is investigating a video shot by animal rights group Mercy for Animals. The video shows Foster Farms employees routinely abusing,… → Read More
California to Provide Free College by Taxing Millionaires
In response to anticipated tuition hikes at public colleges and universities, California state lawmakers are springing into action with a plan to alleviate the pain those hikes would cause to in-state students. Are they going to create a series of merit-based scholarships to help the brightest and most motivated students mitigate the rising cost of college? No. Are they embracing market-based… → Read More
