Many pundits are praising presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, the “independent” Senator from Vermont, for his “bold” plan to make college education free—or at least affordable—for everyone: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has proposed a formula to create free college education at public universities and finance the program through a small transaction tax on Wall Street trades. […]

According to a recent report, the Red Cross raised nearly half a billion dollars to aid the reconstruction of Haiti after an earthquake devastated homes in 2010. But since that time, the Red […]

According to recent reports, its profits last year were $7.5 billion and its CEO Bob Iger was paid about $46 million. All of that is good and fine, even great. But Disney was apparently not satisfied. So they started replacing long-term […]

Such is the case with Patrick Stewart, who recently came out in support of the Christian owners of Ashers Bakery in Oregon, who were recently fined for “discrimination”: Stewart argued that nobody should be forced to write specific text that […]
