It’s an argument that essentially ignores the people that Obamacare has made worse off. Consider, just to take the most prominent recent example, the more

Now for something completely different. This from the UK. Better grab your coats!  Climate boffins believe the UK’s topsy-turvy climate is in for a chilly twist within the next few years as three major forms of climate change trigger “substantial cooling”.Drastic changes in ocean conditions, greenhouse gases and a weakening of the sun threaten increasingly

“A growing number of American fifth-graders are opting to take a gap year to unwind from the stresses of elementary education and recharge themselves before taking on the rigors of middle school,” reports The Onion. “It may soon be the norm for kids to spend a year learning a specialized skill, such as getting really good at riding

Why this isn’t taking all the headlines is beyond me. But there are a lot of people who are on the dole for the military-industrial complex. The Pentagon failed to account for $6.5 trillion in its financial statement, a recently-recovered Inspector General’s report on the 2015 fiscal year said. It reveals the audit of the

It can never be committed by a minority.  Background: President Obama characterized the July shootings in Dallas a “hate crime,” which really bothered some progressives like  Ebony magazine’s editor Jamilah Lemieux, who argued that the President was probably wrong to call the attack a “hate crime.” I

Another punishment of the productive to prop up the losers. This is the first known US attempt to directly subsidize taxis through the likes of Uber and Lyft.
