The Right to Drive While Masked

A Muslim woman in Florida is suing the state to be allowed to wear a full-face mask in her driver’s license photograph, and her attorney is arguing that the state is repressing her freedom of religion, and that driving is a right, not a privilege.

Why is the court even hearing this case? It should have been thrown out immediately as a frivolous lawsuit. And where is this creature getting the funds to pursue the suit?

Global warming isn't happening, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) argued over the weekend, pointing to the fact that it was snowing in Alaska in May.

Beware the Coming War Against Personal Photography and Video
Are you ready for the imagery war -- the war against personal photography and capturing of video? You'd better be. In some cities, like New York, the surveillance-industrial complex has its fangs deeply into government for the big bucks.

Creationism and Revisionist History Threaten to Invade Our Classrooms
Louisiana's legislators are continuing their legislative jihad to keep the theory of evolution out of the state's public school science classrooms.

The law allows non-science to be snuck into science classrooms by teachers who use supplemental materials to "critique" politically controversial (but not scientifically ...

80-Year-Old North Carolina Educator: Why I Got Arrested Protesting Right-Wing Agenda for Schools
Inequalities in education have always been in the forefront of my work. In the early years in public schools, there were two important changes underway: the desegregation of schools and the special education movement. Change comes slowly; for example, Wiley and another Raleigh school (Murphey) had the very first teachers in special education in the state. My teacher’s salary for that first year ...

With New Mini-Satellites, Special Ops Takes Its Manhunts Into Space
Some of the beacons use infrared flashes to signal their location; in 2009, al-Qaida propagandists claimed they found them all over villages that had been hit with U.S. drone strikes. Others are implanted into seemingly-innocent commercial electronics.

Your Weekly Peggy Noonan Three Martini Column
We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate. The reputation of the Obama White House has, among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister, and, among liberals, from unsatisfying to dangerous. No one likes what they're seeing. The Justice Department assault on the Associated Press and the ugly politicization of the Internal Revenue Service have left the administration's credibility deeply, ...
