June 18, 2013 By John Seiler For once, I wish I was in Washington, D.C., a dreadful place I haven't been to since 1988, or 25 years. Tomorrow, Wednesday, the Tea Party is protesting the assaults on it and other freedom groups by the IRS-Stasi. I would love to attend. The Daily Caller reported:...

June 18, 2013 By John Seiler Wait! Wasn't Obamacare supposed to give medical care and insurance to everybody, at a lower cost? How can that happen if insurers exit? This just in: "Aetna Inc. said it would stop selling individual health insurance policies in California next month, and nearly ...

Monday, June 17th, 2013

June 17, 2013 By John Seiler The L.A. Times' anti-gun obsessive George Skelton now wants your bullets. He writes: "From what I've been reading, the Santa Monica killer was packing an illegal assault rifle and 40 high-capacity ammunition magazines. He sprayed 100 bullets and had access to 1,30...

June 12, 2013 By John Seiler I read President Obama's speech yesterday on the immigration reform bill. He said some inspiring words about the achievements of immigrants. What he did not do is come clean about what's in the bill. For one thing, he didn't mention that the bill, on which the U...

‘Liberal’ 9th Circuit backs government spying
Monday, June 10th, 2013

June 10, 2013 By John Seiler The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is supposed to be the most liberal in the country. And liberalism is supposed to defend personal privacy. For example, the 1973 Roe vs. Wade abortion decision by the U.S. Supreme Court was based on the "right to privacy." He...
