Concerned parents squared off against health and education officials Tuesday night as the San Francisco school board voted unanimously to allow access to condoms in city middle schools. The new policy will allow staff to individually give students condoms "in conjunction with a session with a school nurse or social worker to identify risk factors and provide referrals or resources as necessary." Condoms are already available in district high schools. The new policy, initiated by Superintendent Richard Carranza, specifies that parents will not be allowed to opt out of the program. District officials say state law allows minors to access...

(Video at the link) One thing that got to me was how upset he became at the suggestion that you could label a child of 5 years old as 'gay'. I've watched many of his videos, but this is the first time that I've ever seen him truly angry. He brings up the science and points out that becoming homosexual is a product of nurture *with* a genetic predisposition. I really like Milo. He's a conservative Catholic who's accepted that he's gay, who admits that 'there's an element of deliberation in my choice to be gay' and that he wasn't...

The decade-old dating website OkCupid has been asking their users personal preference questions since the site’s inception. The company recently released the results of a study on the sexual mores of some million or so users, showing how users’ views have shifted since 2005. The company asked a series of questions and sorted out the answers from both men and women, and further broke them down by those who identified as straight, bisexual, and homosexual. The responses to two questions stand out: When asked “Would you consider sleeping with someone on the first date?” compared to ten years ago every...

The occupation of Oregon's Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters finally ended - tragically, with Robert "LaVoy" Finnicum killed by police and other protesters arrested. Unlike in Eastern states, where federal lands total as little as 0.3% (New York), almost 53% of Oregon and 72% of Harney County (where the Hammonds live) is controlled by the federal government. It also administers and controls 30% (Montana) to 85% (Nevada) of all lands in 11 other Western states. The Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and other federal agencies increasingly interpret laws and enforce regulations to restrict, prohibit and eliminate timber, energy and...

Pope Francis, apparently desperate to reach out to the Catholic Church’s growing base in Latin America, spent the day slapping Americans in the face from across the US-Mexico border. In Ciudad Juarez, one of the most violent cities in the Western Hemisphere thanks to the drug cartels, the pope walked up a ramp covered in flowers toward a cross “erected… in memory of migrants who have perished trying to reach the United States just a stone’s throw away,” according to Reuters. Funny, he never did that while visiting Cuba to pay tribute to those who died attempting to escape that...

Donald Trump has made several memorable appearances on The Howard Stern Show, where he is often at his most candid and crude. As has been previously reported, it was on Stern’s program that Trump said Kim Kardashian had a “fat *ss” and where he explained how he made potential partners take STI tests from his personal doctor. But there's more. Much, much more

Statistics show that small government means big growth. On taxes, the nonpartisan Tax Foundation ranks states on how low and simple their taxes are in a list called the State Business Tax Climate Index. Comparing the ten states with the best tax codes on the list (Wyoming, South Dakota, Nevada, Alaska, Florida, Washington, Montana, New Hampshire, Utah, Indiana) to the ten with the worst (Maryland, Connecticut, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Vermont, Rhode Island, Minnesota, California, New Jersey, New York) paints a clear picture on which type of policies are best for growth. On spending, the same theme can be seen. When...

Half Moon Bay in Northern California is home to Mavericks, the renowned surf break that produces some of the heaviest waves in the world. Titans of Mavericks is the biggest name in big wave surf contests. Watch the replay exclusively on Red Bull TV.

Just yesterday, I had a Mexican woman on the phone ask me if I knew Spanish. When I responded that I indeed did, and could I help her in (in fluent Spanish), she had the audacity and gall to ask me if I "...really knew Spanish." I told her in no uncertain terms in fluent Spanish that I spoke it like a native and did she want help or not. She calmed down. Such a thing is completely unprecedented. I have NEVER heard of or observed such behavior in a foreigner to a country confronting someone from that country and...

Donald Trump is the winner in the New Hampshire Republican primary, Fox News projects, but five of his rivals are locked in a tight race for second and third in the state.

Ted Cruz Responds to Donald Trump's Profanity (ABC News Video)...

Few people will talk about this, and fewer will even want to acknowledge it, but what Donald Trump did before the debate even began shows the measure of a real man’s worth. At the beginning of the ABC debate, each of the candidates were being introduced in a specific order. The first name called to the stage was Chris Christie. The applause was loud and lingered through the time when Martha Raddatz called the second candidate Ben Carson. Dr. Carson did not hear his name called (easy to understand why when you listen to the video) and stood in the...

Thank heavens Donald Trump opened so many eyes to the lies, corruption and total lack of accountability that come so naturally to the permanent political class. And Sen. Ted Cruz was spot on when he once noted that "millions of Americans are asking for accountability and truth." Which is why it's so curious - and saddens us - this lack of accountability with the lies of Cruz's own campaign. Cruz's campaign chairman, U.S. Representative Steve King, is lying, and good for Dr. Ben Carson for calling this out. King, who's previously asked for and received my endorsement, time and resources...
