BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A new report from the U.S. Department of Justice shows that youths are sexually abused more frequently in juvenile detention centers that are understaffed, have more gang violence and more offender complaints.

All it takes is for the State of Idaho to invoke the 10th Amendment, just like Washington State, Colorado, Oregon, etc. have done with recreational marijuana laws. Idaho tells the Feds: we don’t care and you have no jurisdiction here.  To all the anti-abortion rights activists roaming the Idaho Capitol, the U.S Supreme Court has

John Brennan says suicide bombings could happen here in the USA. U.S.-led military efforts to contain violent Islamic State radicals in the Middle East have not yet succeeded, and the group’s engine of worldwide terrorism “still has a lot of momentum,” CIA Director John Brennan said Wednesday. “We cannot rest at all. We have to

Oh, the irony.  PORTLAND, Ore. – Authorities say they have arrested a man on suspicion of driving while high on pot after he crashed into a Happy Valley marijuana dispensary. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that the 18-year-old suspect was arrested Sunday. He faces DUI, criminal endangerment and several other charges. Police say he hit a parked

The contradiction here is stark. Had she only gone to an abortionist an hour earlier, she would be celebrated by progressives as a liberated, enlightened, empowered woman. You can’t have it both ways.  A former college student who gave birth in her sorority house was sentenced Monday to life in prison without parole for killing

It’s time for conservative states to stand up against the federal government by using their 10th Amendment rights. Colorado and Washington State have done it with marijuana laws.
