NPR claims that Baltimore’s high crime rates stem from too few police; but Baltimore has the second-most cops per-capita in the U.S.!
The government NPR radio network and website is promoting a story suggesting that Baltimore’s high crime rates are owed to a lack of police officers in the city. There is just one problem with this notion: Baltimore has the SECOND-HIGHEST rate of cops per-capita in the U.S.! (1st is Washington, D.C..) Wherever city governments have …

Iranian government shuts down internet to disrupt protests
Fortune and other news sources are reporting that the government of Iran is shutting down the internet in cities where there are anti-government protests. (In Iran, internet providers must obtain government permission–similar to the “net neutrality” system proposed by many government-trusters in America.)

There is increasing evidence that Google, Facebook and Twitter are censoring climate skepticism and colluding with each other in doing so
During the final years of the Obama Administration, executives at Google, Facebook and Twitter were regularly meeting with Obama in the White House. Not long after, all 3 internet giants (which together rake in more than 85% of all online ad revenue) began promoting the “net neutrality” concept for a government takeover of the internet, …

Hundreds of thousands flee socialist California
North Koreans flee to China. East Germans fled to West Germany. Cubans flee to Florida. We recently reported that 33,000 people fled socialist Illinois in the past year, and some 247,410 people left Illinois over the past decade, taking some $13.7 billion with them. Illinoians are some of the most heavily-taxed people on earth. Now …

Russian satellites capture U.S. training “ISIS”
U.S. intelligence agencies have been caught repeatedly funding, supplying, and training the very “terrorists” that U.S. taxpayers are then duped into “fighting.” (Of course, almost every other world government has also engaged in such false flag operations.) U.S. neocons and warhawks in government office use the excuse of ‘terrorists’ to justify constant erosions of the …

United ‘first class’ seats are now mostly reserved for government employees–and higher-level government officials apparently bump lower level government workers to ‘economy’ seating as needed
As private-sector Americans struggle for existence, government officials and workers continue to gain wealth and privilege. Here is a story published in the London Daily Mail (U.S. ‘mainstream’ news outlets have ignored it) about a school teacher who purchased a first-class seat on a United flight. The school teacher was told before the flight that …

In socialist Venezuela, food trucks must now be escorted by military guards
Socialism is a curse that should be wished only on a hated enemy. Any society that adopts it will inevitably become sick and weak. Just 4 decades ago, Venezuela was one of the wealthiest economies in the world. It was 12 times wealthier than China, and by some measures was the 4th richest country on …

Every claim behind “campaign finance reform” is untrue
In 2010 the Supreme Court decided Citizens United v. FEC, which struck down a small number of “campaign finance” laws–or at least their application–on First Amendment grounds. Trusters of government went into hysterics. They claimed the Supreme Court had ruled that corporations are people, and that the Supreme Court had pronounced that money is speech …

Veterans Administration violates medical regulations
Regulation kills. For decades, government policymakers at state, local and federal levels have piled regulations onto the medical industry. Combined with government subsidies, these policies have sent health care costs spiraling upward faster than inflation every year for decades. Recently the USA Today reported that even government “health care” operations such as the Veterans Administration …

Government scientists rage at slight Trump budget cuts
Study after study shows that when government pays for science, that “science” tends to be very expensive, very inefficient, and biased in favor of government. This can be seen in numerous fields including welfare policy, education, health care and climate science. Dr. Roger Roots, the founder of Lysander Spooner University, documented the inefficiency of government-funded …
