Have you ever noticed that when our Fourth Amendment privacy rights are being trampled upon, we usually don’t find out about it until months or even years later? Back in February, Natural News reported on the fact that Vizio televisions had the ability to spy on their customers without their knowledge or permission. Why didn’t […]

The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution states that the people have a right to be “secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” It was originally included in the Bill of Rights because at the time of the amendment’s ratification, the Founding Fathers were extremely fearful of the […]

When activist Carlita Shaw first headed to Ecuador six years ago, she had no idea what was in store for her. She went to the South American country to work on biodiversity conservation projects in conjunction with Amazon indigenous groups, and while she accomplished a great deal, her stay there has recently been marred with […]

Whenever bloggers or media commentators cover the controversial issue of police brutality, it is absolutely vital that things are first put in context. As with every other institution in the country, America’s police force is not, and never will be, without flaw. Indeed, man is not perfect, and so we should not expect every single […]

As a nation that believes heavily in justice and the rule of law, it is important for us to support our law enforcement and border patrol agents. Without these brave men and women putting their lives on the line, our country would be a lot less safe than it is today, and it would be […]

As many as 120 Americans commit suicide every day, which translates to about 45,000 deaths per year. Now, a breakthrough project has shown that machine learning may prove to be an effective method in predicting suicide attempts. The groundbreaking findings by researchers at Florida State University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center may help clinicians identify patients […]

One of the most dangerous words in America today is the word “offensive,” not because it’s used to describe something that hurts one’s feelings, but because of how it is used by the progressive Left. It goes without saying that the word “offensive” is a subjective term that can mean many different things to many […]

School officials in Paris, KY are attempting to overstep their boundaries by conducting unannounced visits to homeschooling families.

The school officials claim they are only […]

The Baltimore Police Department is back in the news. Federal authorities charged seven cops who are or were members of the city’s Gun Trace Task Force in connection with an alleged shakedown operation. “The officers are accused of stopping people — some of whom were not even suspected of any crimes — and seizing their […]

It should go without saying that the freedom of speech is an integral part to any civilized society. The right of the people to challenge their elected officials, to share their opinions and to voice their concerns are all absolutely crucial to a nation’s progress. When speech rights are limited, so too is that country’s […]

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 […]

The San Diego Police Department is in hot water after they illegally profiled and intimidated five African American minors into giving up samples of their DNA via mouth swabs. 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 […]

Censorship and suppression of the independent media have come into full swing.  In late February, AdRoll, the online advertiser that once accused Breitbart of “hate speech,” has reportedly ended their advertising work with Infowars.com. Omnicom, one of the world’s largest ad buying networks, also announced that they would be cutting ties with Breitbart.com, supposedly to […]

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 […]
