George Mason University economist Walter E. Williams has said many times over many years that “Nothing opens the closed minds of college administrators better than the sounds of pocketbooks snapping shut,” see examples here, here and here. And now thanks to rise of “campus crybullies,” who have largely been tolerated, if not actually enabled, by spineless and feckless college administrators on

There will be [was] a strong police presence on the Snake River this weekend patrolling popular party spots for returning college students.  Twice in the past 4 years a massive crowd of Washington State University students trashed the Dunes near Lower Granite Dam.  The US Army Corps of Engineers had to shut down the Dunes

As is the case with many things (gambling, drugs, alcohol), their use is a stupid-tax on the poor.  But legalization and our growing cultural acceptance of marijuana have disproportionately affected one group in particular: the lower class. A recent study by Steven Davenport of RAND and Jonathan Caulkins of Carnegie Mellon notes that “despite the

With the news last week that Aetna — like UnitedHealth and Humana — is pulling out of most state exchanges, ObamaCare seems set to implode. Even President Obama seems to realize it: He’s preparing to launch a major push to draw in more people — preferably, healthy young ones — to his health-care marketplaces. Because

This year’s contentious presidential primary season helped the Idaho Republican Party attract more than 80,000 newly affiliated voters, which could give GOP candidates a critical edge in some coming state legislative races. Republican officials are specifically targeting the 5th and 6th legislative districts, which had the closest general election contests in the state during the

And so it begins.  The city of Seattle has received more than 70 reports of businesses not complying with its new all-gender restroom ordinance since officials began enforcing it in March. The reports have been made by 33 people, some of whom made multiple reports. No businesses have been fined, but letters have been sent

It’s not just conservatives (many with religious objections) who are attempting to block the Department of Justice, Department of Education, and the Obama Administration in general from implementing policies that mandate that transgender people be accommodated in government and school buildings. At least one feminist group is not happy and has filed a federal lawsuit

I said this would be coming down the pike.  If homosexuals can force florists (and bakers) to violate their religious conscience and (decorate and) bake wedding cakes, why not force halal supermarkets to sell alcohol and pork; or forcing kosher delis to serve ham sandwiches?  In Colombes, France, the local housing authority has ordered a

Go figure that one out. Nicotine-free e-liqs are tobacco products. Talk about government intelligence!  This week, responding to one of the lawsuits challenging its e-cigarette regulations, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) further muddied the question of whether those regulations apply to products that do not contain tobacco-derived nicotine. The lawsuit, which was brought by Nicopure, a manufacturer of e-liquids

A new federal ruling may add to some confusion on how existing civil rights laws address discrimination claims in situations involving transgender people. A federal judge with the United States District Court of east Michigan has ruled that a Detroit area funeral home did not engage in illegal discrimination when it fired an employee who was transitioning
