According to a 2013 report from The Washington Times, it was predicted that by 2018 the skies over America would be populated with over 7500 commercial drones, also known as  Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).  At that time, the U.S. was just beginning to salivate over the imminent adaptation of the weapon dispensing military drone technology for less deadly civilian purposes, like monitoring the weather, agricultural assessments, assisting […]

In many respects, China is a modern, civilized nation with its feet firmly planted in the 21st century. But some of the human rights abuses that were common in China’s communist past continue – in brutal fashion – to this day. A case in point is the continued mistreatment of practitioners of a peaceful, meditation-based […]

Why is it that big government advocates always tell us that everything they do is “for the people?” Issuing more regulations on firearms gives more authority to the federal government, but it “keeps the people safe.” Taking your money though excessive taxation and then spending it gives more authority to the government, but is meant […]

If you stop and think about it, there really aren’t many places we can go today where we can be entirely, one hundred percent free of some level of surveillance.

Everyone knows slavery was officially abolished in the United States in 1865… or was it?

Slavery officially ended in 1865 and became a relic of the past, thanks to the enactment of the 13th amendment — or did it?

On March 30, 2016, five minors were walking through a park in southeast San Diego when a group of San Diego police officers approached, suspecting them […]

When it comes to state and local governments, there are some regulations that make sense, some that don’t, and then some that just leave you scratching your head and wondering what’s going on. As a result, decent, good-willed people often get taken advantage of and the government reaps the benefits. Such is the case with […]

In an effort to silence Pro-life websites and activists, a new law in France will impose a punishment that includes a maximum sentence of two years in prison and a fine of $30,000 if a person makes anti-abortion remarks. The reason? According to the law, it’s for “spreading or transmitting allegations or indications liable to […]

I’ve been involved in political commentary for almost ten years now, so naturally during that time I’ve read thousands upon thousands of political stories. What I’ve found is that the more I learn about our country, and the more I observe the modern day political climate, the more striking similarities I see between America and […]

A police strike in the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo has finally come to an end after triggering a bloody crime wave, but government officials fear similar strikes and protests may now spread to other parts of the country.
