Stossel: The kill switch

Soon the government might shut down your car. President Joe Biden's new infrastructure gives bureaucrats that power. You probably didn't hear about that because when media covered it, few mentioned the requirement that by 2026, every American car must "monitor" the driver, determine if he is ...

Letter: Biden’s been at work for all; Trump only for himself

In all due respect, Margaret Brough, I have to take issue with your letter about a stark comparison between Trump and Biden. Yes, the two men could not be more different, but saying Trump has sacrificed all for America while Biden is only trying to hold onto power is a grave ...

Guest opinion: Being a burden

People are problematic. All people. We all need to be fed, clothed, get exercise, use the restroom, brush our teeth, etc., etc., etc. — forever. All of these things can cause inconvenience for ourselves and others. But if your work is in the hospitality industry, it’s helpful to at least ...

Barone: A fail-safe society is sure to fail

Americans need to be aware of the unbridled propensity of federal intelligence agencies to spy on all of us without search warrants as required by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. These agencies believe that the Fourth Amendment — which protects the individual right to privacy ...
