The pettiness of “little leviathan” -- i.e. local government -- crushing individual rights seems to know no bounds. And this is the case in Prescott Valley, Arizona, where Tawney Baccellia has been set upon by “code enforcers” because, get this, in addition to flying her American flag in her front yard, she flies a “Trump 2020” flag beneath a US flag variant in her back yard.

Given the widespread attacks on conservative and libertarian/individualist speech at universities over the past few years, one might think that a new report about a college speech lawsuit was just that: a legal action likely taken because a “place of higher learning” was punishing or banning freedom of expression on campus.
But the situation at Iowa State is a bit trickier than might at first…
This is a different kind of ugly in a beautiful state blessed with natural wonders. And as one reads about it, please consider the centuries-old lineage of fundamental human rights that have been established in Western history and are supposed to be off-limits to U.S. governments.
As Reason’s Jacob Sollum reports, the legislature of Colorado cares about people so much, it just did a fiscal…
Ahh, those Christmas traditions. Gathering with family, expressing love and respect, cherishing those near to us and remembering those departed, without whom we and our progeny would not exist, and, most important, celebrating the birth of Christ…
...and reading that classic Dickens story, “Anal Sex 101,” at Teen Vogue.
Sadly, it seems that some folks not only don’t remember that narrative…
Fossils. Seems we just can’t get rid of them. No matter where Americans tread, they keep popping up. We have to step around the dinosaur “news” media. We have to circumvent the ruinous old political concept of collectivism and the politicians who push those it. And we have to watch out for zombie-like figures promoting the threadbare scaremongering of “Anthropogenic Climate Change”, even as…
It’s tempting to view MSNBC Talk-Garrot Rachel Maddow as the Dinosaur Media’s Lucy Van Pelt, but, of course, that would be an insult to Lucy.
Certainly, like Lucy, Ms. Maddow possesses that rare and startlingly offensive combination of insufferable ego, towering self-righteousness, awkward self-bearing, stiffness and its resultant blusterous over-compensation.
But Maddow caps it off with a…
There’s something predictable and almost poetic about the towering hypocrisy of many politicians.
Supposed “feminist” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) rails about patriarchy and “unfair pay” even as she pays her female staffers much less than her male employees. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) burns carbon-based fuel traveling across the continent preaching climate change and reproaching business owners…
One of the most important lessons in economics is to learn that human valuation is subjective. As a result, the only way we can find out how much people value things is if we allow them to be free to buy or sell them at prices they determine. All of supply and demand are based on that freedom.
One of the key lessons in ethics is the Golden Rule, or Non-Aggression Principle, which includes…
The term “exercise in futility” comes to mind -- among other, more colorful, expressions.
But it sure is apt to see “researchers” at three tax-funded universities release a “study” warn humanity that carbon emissions will cause cognitive decline in mankind.
*Insert snide rejoinders here.*
The research paper, entitled, “Fossil fuel combustion is driving indoor CO2 toward levels harmful to human…
It reads like something from a film, but it is all too real and happening right now, with real-world, human consequences: Amish families living in peace and not harming anyone are set-upon by bureaucrats from the concrete jungle of the government and now have to work with legal-eagle attorneys to retain their homes, maintain their way of life, and continue to practice their religion.
All in…
