When they do happen, of course, LGBT activists are more concerned about the impact of these stories on their political agenda than about the victims suffering from the consequences of their...

"I grew up with friends disappearing over charges like that (theft) and even if there is an alternative [to incarceration, such as diversion programs, there is a] consequence of disruption for the family. We need to asking, 'Does something make us safer?' And prosecuting a young person, even if...

International Man: In parts of California and other states, shoplifting under $950 has been de-facto decriminalized.

The trend of de-facto legalization of shoplifting is spreading across the country. What is your take? Doug Casey: The rise in crime in general and the veritable legalization of shoplifting, in particular, are really just symptoms. The real problem is that the moral fabric of the US and many other Western countries are torn. There’s not much...

Corporate America is mobilizing to quash a sweeping FTC proposal that would prevent employers from limiting where their former staffers can work, citing the need to protect trade secrets. In series of letters this week to the FTC, which proposed the restrictions in January, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce asked the agency to stand down or shrink its proposal and questioned the legal authority behind it. Noncompete policies can range from prohibitions of working for a competitor or even working in the same geographic region. And the periods they cover vary, depending on what state courts deem enforceable, from six...

Speaking with Lila Rose, the president and founder of Live Action, Chan said pastors who talk openly about controversial issues like abortion often get “shell shocked,” but they must remember that their mission is to preach the truth. “We’ve got to stop playing this game of trying to please everyone and just say it like it is,” he said.
