Reason’s Greg Beato tells the story of a Colorado snowmobiler who got swept up in an avalanche and was stranded for 5 days before rescuers could get to him. Luckily he had a 550 calorie king-sized Snickers bar to help sustain him through his ordeal. Well, thanks to Michelle Obama and her “Let’s Move”...
A Utah high school will have to take money from its budget to pay a $15,000 fine to the federal government for leaving a soda vending machine turned on during lunch. Davis High routinely turned off the lunchroom machine during the lunch hour, but forgot to turn off a machine in the library. Somehow...
Can you imagine the outcry we would have heard if the Bush administration had given the okay to local law enforcement agencies to use drones to patrol the skies? People would have been marching in the streets and setting things on fire, kind of like the Occupy meetings. So, will the left be outraged...
Do you believe the TSA crossed the line when dealing with you at an airport screening location, and do you want to report the abuse? Well, now there’s an app for that. It’s called Flyrights and was developed by a group of Sikhs who believe they’ve been unfairly targeted by the TSA. But anyone...
Jeffrey Goldberg detailed his mother in law’s recent travel experience. She heard the seven words nobody wants to hear at a TSA airport checkpoint: “There’s an anomaly in the crotch area.” Not only did she hear those seven words, so did everybody around her. She entered the machine and struck the humiliating pose one...
Environmental Protection Agency official Al Armendariz gave a little lesson on how they deal with oil and gas producers. If this isn’t tyranny, I don’t know what is. “But as I said, oil and gas is an enforcement priority, it’s one of seven, so we are going to spend a fair amount of time looking...
The Department of Labor is getting ready to implement new child labor laws that could mean the end of family farms, 4H and Future Farmers of America. If you’ve ever known a farmer, you know that children work on family farms. That’s the way it’s always been. Go to any state fair and look...
The Democrats were really proud when they passed the Dodd-Frank banking regulation bill that I call FrankenDodd. I guess this was another bill they needed to pass to find out what was in it, seeing that some of those Democrats are now expressing concern about the Office of Financial Research (OFR) the law created....
Yesterday or the day before I saw the news that the transportation bill making its way through Congress contains a provision that would mandate all cars manufactured after 2015 have black boxes installed. You know, like the ones contained in airplanes. I figured I’d wait and find out more information before commenting on it....
Eric Scheiner of CNS News put together this parody of “Paranormal Activity” that’s a little bit too close to the truth if you ask me. The government has intruded into our bathrooms with their shower head and toilet regulations, and into all areas of our homes with light bulb bans. Who wants to pay...
Part of the festivities today at the annual White House Easter egg roll is a basketball challenge. The balls they’re using are adorned with the image of President Obama. It’s pretty creepy if you ask me. Jake Tapper has the report, but doesn’t mention who paid for these basketballs. H/T White House Dossier Update...
Business Insider reported that the Department of Homeland Security is stocking up on ammo – big time. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office is getting an “indefinite delivery” of an “indefinite quantity” of .40 caliber ammunition from defense contractor ATK. U.S. agents will receive a maximum...
When you think of Attorney General Eric Holder, you probably think of Operation Fast and Furious, or the Department of Justice letting the New Black Panthers off the hook in the voter intimidation case. But that’s not all the DOJ has been up to under the watch of Holder and President Obama. They’ve been...
Something tells me if this new policy came about under a Republican administration the left would be out in the streets protesting. The U.S. intelligence community will now be able to store information about Americans with no ties to terrorism for up to five years under new Obama administration guidelines. Until now, the National...
