Why is Jeff Sessions hiding the Uranium One informant?
Perhaps as startling as the revelation that the FBI was investigating the Hillary Clinton/Russia/Uranium One collusion  and that key figures like Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe knew about it and said nothing, is the refusal by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to remove the non-disclosure agreement gag order on the FBI informant who arguably could put Bill and Hillary Clinton and a few others in federal prison.

ERICKSON: Bake This Particular Cake, Bigot
The American media would have you believe there is a concerted effort among Christians in America to discriminate against gay Americans. "No gays allowed," they claim small Christian business owners are saying. It is a fiction created to avoid dealing with the facts. The fact is I am unaware of any Christian business that refuses to serve gay customers, but I am aware of many gay activists targeting Christian small businesses for persecution.

Right-Wing Collectivism Is the Other Threat to Liberty
Beware those who claim to save from your oppressors. They might be as bad or worse.
My new article collection–Right Wing Collectivism: The Other Threat to Liberty–is about the most unexpected ideological development of our time. It concerns the revival of a tradition of interwar collectivist thought that might at first seem like a hybrid but was distinctly mainstream between the two world wars.

The Obama Administration’s Uranium One Scandal
Obama's Department of Justice cut a quiet and too-lenient plea deal with a Russian racketeer in a case that would've proved embarrassing to Obama and Hillary Clinton. Not only the Clintons are implicated in a uranium deal with the Russians that compromised national-security interests. Let’s put the Uranium One scandal in perspective: The cool half-million bucks the Putin regime funneled to Bill Clinton was five times the amount it spent on those Facebook ads — the ones the media-Democrat complex ludicrously suggests swung the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump.

Former NPR CEO opens up about liberal media bias
Most reporters and editors are liberal — a now-dated Pew Research Center poll found that liberals outnumber conservatives in the media by some 5 to 1, and that comports with my own anecdotal experience at National Public Radio. When you are liberal, and everyone else around you is as well, it is easy to fall into groupthink on what stories are important, what sources are legitimate and what the narrative of the day will be. This may seem like an unusual admission from someone who once ran NPR, but it is borne of recent experience.

Alternative Media Vindicated in Uranium One Reports
Uranium One has finally hit the national media stage. It is a scandel that could take down the Clintons once and for all. Left-leaning The Hill is being credited with breaking the story, though it goes back to 2009. The media cannot stop talking about it, and the undercover FBI agent that has been gagged from talking to Congress about the details.

When Good Intentions Lead To Environmental Disaster
Whether it be geniuses who think it’s better for the environment to toss old tires in the sea to create an ‘artificial reef’ than it is to bury them in a landfill, or tree lovers who think trees can thrive and grow indefinitely without need of harvesting or clearing, or the horse folk who believe mustangs should be free to reproduce unchecked, even in the arid West, where forage is sparse and water is rare, good intentions without good science and good old common sense, are more often than not, cobble stones on the path to environmental disaster.

Spokane City Council’s focus on national issues takes away from its attention to local problems
Elections are referendums on past decisions. On one critical decision, city of Spokane taxpayers never got to vote, not even a nonbinding advisory vote: Should City Council members be serving part time or full time? It’s a decision with significant budget and policy impacts. And the council adopted the habit through mission creep without public input.
