Five Huge Differences between Work and School
It matters because many young Americans put off remunerative work until after they finish school. Compulsory attendance laws – passed some 100 years ago – created within the American schooling model an underlying structure rooted in legal violence, because these laws are ultimately enforced by the violence of the state. If you think about it, that was the original sin of American schooling.

Venezuela descends into chaos. Its people, once the wealthiest in Latin America, starve. Even The New York Times runs headlines like "Dying Infants and No Medicine." Socialism failed in Angola, Benin, Cambodia, China, Congo, Cuba, Ethiopia, Laos, Mongolia, Mozambique, North Korea, Poland, Somalia, the Soviet Union, Vietnam and now Venezuela. We are yet to experience the blessed event of seeing one socialist country succeed.

Addressing the Physician Shortage by Taking Advantage of an Untapped Medical Resource
Despite the incredible advancements in American medical innovation in recent years, problems exist regarding access to care, particularly in rural areas of the country. These problems are due in part to misguided policy decisions, and as a result, the current U.S. system of training doctors after graduation from medical school fails to produce the proper number and mix of physicians, while leaving thousands of qualified medical graduates without a pathway to participate in the health care workforce. Allowing medical school graduates to practice under provisional medical licenses would take advantage of the existing surplus of medical talent in the U.S., thus mitigating the current shortage of practicing physicians.
Farmers Don’t Need to be Protected from Capitalism
The $15 billion a year taxpayer-funded “safety net” for farmers isn’t really about risk, it’s really about entitlement: a belief that farmers are entitled to have federal government support to ensure they succeed. Policymakers should stop insulting farmers as being inferior business people who are incapable of operating in a capitalist system. It isn’t up to taxpayers to make sure that every farmer’s business model is going to succeed. Every industry has challenges. Congress has a chance to adopt real reform; the next farm bill is already upon us.

College professor: The campus mob came for me
Last Friday I wrote about Professor Bret Weinstein, who teaches biology at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. Weinstein became the subject of a student protest when he rejected the idea of a Day of Absence in which all white people would be asked to leave campus. In response, a group of angry students marched to his classroom, called him a racist and demanded he be fired. Tuesday Professor Weinstein wrote a piece for the Wall Street Journal in which he describes what happened next.

Joan Baez … and the Confederates
"The night they drove old Dixie down"; today's Democratic Party; removing statues and memorials in the South. Joan was and will always be a great folk singer. She is a liberal, and has stood her ground righteously and sometimes courageously since the 1960’s, a long time by any standard. Today, if Joan introduced that song to the public; know what they’d label Joan Baez? A racist. A bigot. Klan member. Joan Baez; sheet wearing racist. Can you imagine? And why would ANYONE so wrongly label her a bigot? Because Joan felt SYMPATHY for the “enemy” of today’s liberals, the defeated American Confederacy, it’s Army, it’s heroes. This fact; Joan’s sympathy, alone would have pit Joan in polar opposition to the entire Democratic party in 2017; she would now be considered a traitor to today’s liberal “ideals”.
Portland Has No One to Blame But Themselves
Recently Mayor Ted Wheeler of Portland asked to have a Free Speech Rally in Portland on June 4th shut down and permits pulled. He is also asking that the permits being applied for on June 10th not be issued to conservatives. He is quick to criticize the right for having a Rally, but not the terrorists that are showing up to confront them. Portland has no one to blame but themselves. They have been giving into these terrorists for years now from allowing Occupy to invade and live in tents in the City, to all of the riots and vandalism they have allowed recently including but not limited to the disparity of force applied to Michael Strickland, a journalist who was forced to defend himself because he feared for his life. Mike didn’t fit the right ideology and was given a kangaroo court and found guilty of 21 crimes. It is amazing how far Portland’s politicians will go to enforce their Marxist Ideology and voter base even at the expense of the right to defend yourself, which no longer exists in Portland contrary to State Law.
