Students don’t sacrifice their Constitutional rights when they walk through the school’s door. Their protections are somewhat diminished but they don’t evaporate completely. There are reasons their rights aren’t eliminated and those are tied to the operation of government employeesoutside of the school doors.

A recent decision by an Ohio Appeals Court reiterates this fact and spells out exactly why we shouldn’t treat minors as possessors of only a minimum amount of civil liberties.

Flint, Michigan, is sending out notices to residents who haven’t been paying for their city water services. The notices say that services could be cut off if payment isn’t received. This is a normal civic administrative practice except for one thing: Flint’s water is so badly poisoned that the National Guard and Federal Emergency Management Agency have been called in to manage the situation, which has left residents drinking bottled water that’s being given out as an emergency measure.

Freedom Outpost – by Tim Brown

During a townhall meeting on guns, which I wrote about here, Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah said, “I believe in the Second Amendment. It is there, written on the paper. It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people try to twist my words around — I taught constitutional law, I know a little bit about this — I get it.” However, one writer has sought to clarify that Obama was not actually a professor, which means he never taught constitutional law.   Continue reading “Obama Claims to have taught Constitutional Law, but Here’s What He Really did at the University of Chicago”

South Carolina has long been known for the ridiculous and off-world bills its State House regularly submits to a vote. Indeed, the residents of the state are routinely subjected to a demonstration of the utter uselessness of the majority of its “representatives” as well as their lack of understanding and concern for civil liberties, Constitutional rights, and the general welfare of the State.

Enter another freedom-shredding bill submitted by the Constitutional non-scholar Mike Pitts, a Republican State House member from Laurens, S.C.   Continue reading “SC Bill To Register, Determine Competency Of Journalists”

A media outlet associated with Islamic State on Tuesday released a eulogy for “Jihadi John”, a member of the militant group who gained notoriety for his filmed execution of hostages, the monitoring organization SITE reported.

The militant was identified as Mohammed Emwazi, a British citizen of Arab origin. The U.S. military said in November it was “reasonably certain” it had killed him in a drone strike.   Continue reading “Islamic State media outlet confirms death of ‘Jihadi John’: SITE”

None of the Iranians freed in the prisoner swap have returned home and could still be in the United States, it has been reported.

The seven former inmates, who were released as part of a deal with the Islamic republic, did not show up to get a flight to Geneva, Switzerland, where the exchange was set to take place on Sunday.   Continue reading “NONE of the seven Iranians freed in the prisoner swap have gone back to Iran”

The business of religion for some can be a very profitable profession to enter. Most people think of that sentence in the spiritual sense, but this article is about the physical worldly dollar.

It might be argued that the reason why ministers are more likely to make money today is because they utilize more money making opportunities such as writing books, producing movies and speaking engagements.   Continue reading “Top 15 Richest Pastors In America”

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie rejected a highly-criticized bill that would have required gun shops to carry smart guns once available.

Gov. Christie derailed the progressive agenda item using a pocket veto under which no comment was necessary, anti-gun rights legislators were not as quiet on his decision.   Continue reading “Chris Christie vetoes NJ smart gun bill”

President Obama’s State of the Union speech was so powerful, it prompted famous Mexican-American music artist Carlos Santana to pen him an open letter that beautifully illustrates just how the President conducts himself how a true leader should – and how Donald Trump embodies everything to be despised in a human.   Continue reading “Santana Writes Open Letter To Obama: We’re Blessed With Your “Divine Leadership,” Trump Is An Angry Ape”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

As regular readers are by now acutely aware, Europeans are growing increasingly frustrated with officials’ response to the bloc’s worst refugee crisis since World War II.

To be sure, some countries were skeptical from the very beginning. Take Hungary for example, whose firebrand PM Viktor Orban built a series of migrant-be-gone fences late last summer and defended them with tear gas and water cannons.   Continue reading “Caught On Tape: 1,000 Dutch Villagers Storm Town Hall In Anti-Migrant Melee”

After the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia concluded, a woman asked delegate Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Last Friday, Texas governor Greg Abbott announced at the annual meeting of the Texas Public Policy Foundation that he intends to fight to keep it.   Continue reading “Amendments to Restore the Rule of Law”

Historians of the future will note Yellen’s smiling press conference in December of 2015 to announce the long-awaited rate hike as the beginning of the end for the dead cat bubble of the Global Financial Crisis. In some ways this has been a 20 year long Fed bubble that leads in a straight line from the “irrational exuberance” of the Dot Com bubble to the Dot Com bust and 9/11 to the Greenspan bubble and the subprime housing run-up to the Global Financial Crisis to QE1/2/3 and ZIRP to the rate hike to today. And what do we have today?   Continue reading “Government Sachs Gets Golden Wrist Slap For Global Financial Crisis”

The two volcanoes are thousands of miles apart but are on the edge of the same tectonic plate – the Phillippine Plate – sparking fears of a major seismic shift, more volcanic activity and even earthquakes and tsunamis.

More than 1,200 people have been evacuated from within a 1.9-mile containment zone around Mount Egon in Kupang, eastern Indonesia – one of the most volcanic parts of the globe.   Continue reading “Two volcanoes EXPLODE simultaneously causing mass evacuation”
