"Sharing our completely legal weekend activities on Snapchat should not result three days of in-school suspensions," Cody Conroy told Reason.Two male students at Lacey Township High School in New Jersey posted photos of guns on Snapchat. One of the boys captioned his photo with "hot stuff" and "if there's ever a zombie apocalypse, you know where to go." The photos were not taken at school. They were not taken during school hours. They did not reference a school. They auto-deleted after 24 hours, which was well before the school became aware of them. And yet, administrators at Lacey Township High School suspended the boys for three days, and also gave them ...

April 11, 2019 Democrats' railings about Barr and spying will end badly for them By Patricia McCarthy "There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact." —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle At the hearing of the Oversight Committee on Tuesday, Attorney General William Barr was grilled about the Mueller report: when will it be released? Will they see an unredacted version? Has he (Barr) discussed it with the president? Etc. The questions were redundant, mostly stupid. All of those asked by the Democrats were accusatory. Since Special Counsel Robert Mueller announced there would be no charges of collusion against the president or anyone in or of his campaign, the ...

Let’s put this in Ilhan Omar’s terms. Someone at the New York Post did something today … and Omar won’t be happy about it: Whoa. pic.twitter.com/lD31SeDwTh — Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) April 11, 2019 Response to Omar’s dismissive comment about 9/11 has been relatively low-pitched at other media outlets. The New York Daily News didn’t bother to cover it at all, for instance, and neither did the New York Times. Few people would have expected the Post to let it slide, however, and they also blasted Omar from the editorial page, especially her claim that criticism of the comment amounted to “incitement”: Some people did something? Wow. What a ...

Today in “perfectly normal sequence of internet events,” a video decrying the use of Pepe the Frog wearing a rainbow wig and red clown nose inspired actor James Woods to post a meme referencing the New Zealand mosque shooting. Maybe perfectly normal isn’t the exact right phrase there, but … whatever.

Issaquah, WA — A Chinese immigrant who moved with his wife in 2010 to seek a better life in the United States had that life ended last year by those sworn to protect and serve. Wangshen Leng, 66, was suffering with Alzheimer’s when police attacked him so violently that they broke his neck and he died, according to a lawsuit filed this week by his wife. On August 5, 2018, police officers kicked in the door to Leng’s home following a noise complaint that they claimed was a case of domestic violence. When police entered the home, the officers found him “waving his arms around yelling something.” Clearly ignorant of Leng’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis and entirely ...

By Aaron Kesel The FBI is abusing ancestry genealogy websites by tapping into their DNA data. What’s worse, these companies are giving up users’ data under presumed consent that is buried in their terms and conditions, according to several reports. FamilyTreeDNA is the first company known to be cooperating directly with the FBI to give its agents access to its genealogy database, according to a BuzzFeed report. A FamilyTreeDNA spokesperson told BuzzFeed that FamilyTreeDNA’s agreement with the FBI gives the agency the ability to search more than a million genetic profiles — the majority of which were given by their customers without knowledge of the company’s ...

Common sense wins out...sort of.A North Carolina man who was evicted from his home last month is off the hook after neglecting to take care of his pet fish. The New Hanover County District Attorney's Office didn't drop animal cruelty charges against Michael Hinson because they realized treating a man like a criminal over a pet fish was ridiculous. Rather, authorities were forced to let Hinson off after realizing he hadn't actually broken the law. Hinson was evicted from his home on March 22. The 53-year-old did not take his pet oscar fish with him, so there was no one to feed it or provide fresh water. Several days later, cops showed up at the home and discovered the fish, ...

According to catch and release numbers obtained by Breitbart News, DHS has released about 7,935 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the United States in the last seven days.

The overwhelming majority of border crossers and illegal aliens are never ...

He’s called the “Green New Deal” a “sound framework” for confronting climate change. He’s called for abolishing the Electoral College and has endorsed the idea of single-payer health care. Lis Smith, Buttigieg’s communications adviser, acknowledged that his campaign has noticed the buzz from the GOP. It hasn’t affected their strategy, she said, though she added Buttigieg will at some point make appearances “with outlets that traditional Democrats ignore.” That’s not to say Buttigieg shies away from statements that could alienate conservative voters. “It’s very clear where he stands on issues, where he stands as an ...
Florida Will Generously Allow Homeowners to Garden in Their Own Yards

By Dagny Taggart If you live in Florida and want the freedom to plant food on your own property, I have great news for you. Late last month, the Florida Senate affirmed the right of self-reliant people statewide to grow vegetable gardens in their front yards. Here are some details on the bill from the Miami Herald: The 40-member Senate vote was 35-5. Sen. Rob Bradley’s SB 82 prohibits a county or municipality from regulating vegetable gardens on residential properties, voiding any current regulations regarding the produce patches. Local governments, however, can still adopt a local ordinance or regulation that doesn’t specifically target vegetable gardens, like ...
Orwellian Hate Crime Database to Be Set Up For Thought Criminals in Michigan

Op-Ed by Joe Wright Only in a world where the novel 1984 has become the evening news can we get a state’s Attorney General working with the Department of Civil Rights to create a database for people committing “hate and bias incidents that don’t rise to the level of a crime or civil infraction.” This “hate crimes unit” apparently comes on the advice of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which issued a report about a rise of extremism and hatred within the state of Michigan. This itself is more than ironic, since it was reported last year that the organization had to pay $3 million for falsely labeling the Quilliam Foundation as an example of ...

At first, that meant spending a lot of time on the road. "The first decade of my career, [I was] traveling all over the place and interacting with major record labels and sort of going where ever work would take me," he says. Eventually, Shaw built The Toy Box, a soundproofed home studio located in his detached garage. Being able to work at home, he says, allowed him the opportunity to raise his daughter while still tapping into one of the world's best music scenes, bringing stability to an unpredictable business. ...

Post-Janus, unions see “mass exodus” of fee payers

We’ve covered a number of lawsuits that have been filed in the wake of Janus v AFSCME, where workers sought to stop paying “agency fees” to unions (a fancy word for dues charged to nonmembers) and in some cases recover past dues that had been collected. But that’s all voluntary, of course. The non-members can keep on paying their money to the unions if they wish. So how many have chosen to stick with the old program? Bloomberg reports this week that virtually none of them have. The number of fee payers has plunged by as much as 90% or more in most cases. Two major public sector unions lost nearly 210,000 agency fee payers combined in 2018, according to recently filed ...
